Inside the mansion, she saw two neat rows of eunuchs dressed in blue official robes and black futou caps. They stood quietly, heads bowed respectfully, each holding a tray covered with a red brocade cloth.
Standing among them was a eunuch of about thirty, dressed in a red robe of the same style. When he saw Shen Qing walk in, his eyes lit up. He hurried forward and bowed deeply to her. "I greet Lady Yu Xiang! Before I came, I couldn't believe it. I never expected that you had truly returned!"
This eunuch was an old acquaintance of Shen Qing's.
He had served the late emperor back when he was still the Crown Prince. After the late emperor passed away, he began serving the current Holy Emperor.
Therefore, he had witnessed firsthand how Shen Qing had wreaked havoc... ahem, diligently assisted the late emperor.
Shen Qing's eyes curved into a slight smile. She stepped forward to personally help the eunuch up. "Eunuch Chu, why have you come in person?"
