Just when Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie were resting in the servant quarter outside the palace, Sun Bingchen had already entered the palace. Guided by a eunuch from the palace, they went through countless doors and corridors before they arrived at a secluded royal study inside the palace.
"Please wait for a moment, Lord Sun. His Majesty is inside and has instructed that there's no need to report if you have come. You may go straight in!"
"Thank you, Eunuch Xue!"
"You are most welcome!" The eunuch who led Lord Sun here smiled until his eyes were squinched. "We all work for His Majesty. Your humble servant understands that Lord Sun who is always on the road has it a lot tougher than me!"
Sun Bingchen nodded, then pushed open the door to the royal study and went in. Eunuch Xue shut the royal study's door behind Sun Bingchen.
