Wen Kang's expression darkened at the chief eunuch's explanation. Having a bad premonition, he nodded in agreement. "You are right. This Prime Minister should go to the imperial palace immediately."
Making his decision, Wen Kang gestured politely to the chief eunuch. "Gong Gong, please."
The chief eunuch gestured back and smiled. "Prime Minister Wen, please."
After this brief exchange, the two secretly left for the imperial palace together. As the night deepened, the sounds of their horse carriage's wheels broke the silent night.
Half an hour later, the two horse carriages stopped outside the side gate of the imperial palace.
After getting down from his carriage, the chief eunuch saw that the young eunuchs had prepared a sedan chair nearby. Waving his hand, he ordered, "Bring the sedan chair here."
Hearing this, the young eunuchs saluted and replied, "Yes, Chief Eunuch."
After that, the chief eunuch walked toward Wen Kang's carriage.
