Deep within the Beast Palace, wisps of incense arose from the burner on the desk as Emperor Yue dipped his brush in ink and began to write on the white paper. He had only penned a few characters when a sound transmission from outside informed him that Eunuch Yun had returned.
This assassination attempt had scattered many people, not just the powerful ministers but also some concubines, including Eunuch Yun who had served by Emperor Yue's side for many years.
In fact, this old eunuch had also served the late emperor and was a martial arts master in his own right, albeit usually hidden and never showing his abilities. Emperor Yue had leaned on Eunuch Yun when he decided to take the risky move of playing into his opponent's scheme. However, he did not anticipate that at the critical moment, Eunuch Yun would be lured away.
Now that he had returned, he also had a report to deliver.
