Chapter 215
When night fell, the shadows of the lamps at the Weiyang Palace were shrouded with an ethereal beauty. The palace maids dressed in court lady dresses were moving delicately, and junior eunuchs were scurrying around, all in an extreme quietness. Everyone was unwaveringly carrying out their own duties without making a sound.
In the imperial study, an elderly man was lounging in a couch, occasionally sipping a cup of fragrant tea.
In front of him, quite a few people were bustling about, their tasks and duties assigned orderly, their busyness was harmonious and well-organized.
This elderly man was no other than the sovereign of the vast empire, the ruler over tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, His Majesty the Emperor Ming.
And those who were busy in the study were the eunuchs who served him personally.
