At the sa ti, on the third basent floor…
Compared to the dim second basent, the third basent was very spacious. It could be considered a hall. There were bookshelves all around, a tea table and desk in the middle, a mahogany partition behind it, and a bed for sleeping. Other than the lack of windows, it was no different from an ordinary bedroom. Door-sealing stones had fallen in the first basent, and poisonous gas had been sprayed in the second basent, but there was no change in the third basent.
After all, the person imprisoned here was not a vicious bandit but an old servant who had been loyal to the Dongfang clan for sixty years.
Although Eunuch Cao was not loyal to the empress, he was indeed the most loyal person to the Dongfang clan’s imperial family.
Anyone in the world could kill Eunuch Cao, except for the empress. Ever since the founding of Great Wei, he had been conscientious and selfless. Everyone knew that Eunuch Cao was the most trustworthy and loyal servant of the imperial family. His influence was enough to interfere with the Imperial Court, but he had never crossed the line once. He was just an obscure servant beside the emperor. Whoever inherited the throne according to the ancestral family rules, he would be ticulously at their beck and call. If the empress had killed him after taking the throne, it would be equivalent to admitting publicly that she had obtained the position improperly.
