Across the Great Qi Empire, everyone knew that the eunuch in charge of the Directorate of Ceremonial had an exceptionally handsome face. Even with his celestial bearing and humble manners, his conduct could not shield him from the ministers' abuse.
When he saw a crowd of ministers kneeling in the towering imperial city, each demanding that His Majesty execute him, he folded his arms and surveyed them all with a cool gaze. In a gentle voice, he said, "Your Majesty, they want you to execute this servant!"
The man on the dragon throne wiped away cold sweat and trembled as he snapped, "Bull... nonsense!"
The emperor himself was under his thumb, and the ministers immediately wilted.
Then the eunuch in charge turned toward the ministers and bowed, bending low, his gaze softening.
It was the empress, who had fallen out of the emperor's favor, arriving.
So far, it's quite interesting, but I don't know if it's cruel or not. The author himself can't read sad stories, please don't torture me 🥺
