An hour later, the chief eunuch walked into the imperial study.
Standing before Wen Kang, he clasped his hands, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Majesty, news has just arrived from Heaven Prison."
When Wen Kang heard this, he glanced up from the memorial he was reading and asked, "Is it time?"
Knowing that he was asking about the execution time, the chief eunuch hesitated for a few seconds.
Not receiving an answer, Wen Kang frowned slightly and looked at him. "Zhen is asking you a question."
Hearing this, the chief eunuch hurriedly knelt with a thud and bowed deeply. "Please forgive this servant, Your Majesty."
Waving his hand impatiently, Wen Kang ordered, "Speak if you have something to report."
Gritting his teeth, the chief eunuch finally said, "Your Majesty, we have just received news from Heaven Prison that Wen Qiaolun has died."
The moment his words fell, Wen Kang's hand paused. After a brief moment of silence, he asked calmly, "What happened?"
