Chapter 331: Emperor (3)
Who would've thought there was a variable like a civil servant getting promoted?
But why now, of all times, did he have to receive a promotion?
And not just a regular promotion either—this felt like a special elevation.
A guy who had been a low-ranking eunuch for over ten years suddenly gets a special promotion?
Just when I was thinking that something big must’ve gone wrong, Uncle Ak Bulgun—my sister-in-law’s uncle—spoke up.
“He originally served under the Office of Imperial Carriages, attending the Emperor during royal outings, but the promotion came out of nowhere. But really, is Еunuch Heo truly a man of the Five Venoms Sect?”
He repeated the question like he couldn’t believe it, and Ji-ryong nodded and gave a detailed explanation.
“Yes, sir. We extracted that information by interrogating the leader of the Blood Cult’s intelligence unit, whom we captured in the north. Also, the Blood Cult has now been absorbed into the Five Venoms Sect.”
“Their absorption doesn’t matter, since they were allies to begin with. What matters now is that such a dangerous man is near the Emperor. We need to act quickly!”
We thought the situation might get complicated, but Uncle Ak Bulgun was already gearing up enthusiastically to move fast.
Ji-ryong looked a little concerned and asked him carefully.
“If he’s become one of the Emperor’s closest aides, wouldn’t that make things more difficult?”
