These eunuchs used to all look to Wei Hongfang, the man known as Grandmaster.
Similarly.
Most eunuchs have a nature of currying favor with those in power and stepping on those who fall. When you're thriving, they flatter you, but as soon as you decline, they'll be the first to step on you.
Just like now.
Look at the once high-and-mighty Grandmaster.
The eunuch responsible for delivering the decree wore a very obvious false smile, and his tone was full of mocking sarcasm.
"Long time no see, Master Grandmaster, you truly have kept your grace!"
Though spoken with false sincerity.
The ridicule in his eyes was impossible to hide.
In ordinary times, such an obvious emotional change would be easily detected by Wei Hongfang.
But presently, Wei Hongfang was entirely immersed in the joy of being able to return to the palace, not noticing anything else. Without waiting for the eunuch to continue, he waved his hand dismissively and spoke.
"Enough nonsense, proceed with the decree!"
