"Young... Emperor, Emperor, it is the Emperor. This servant misspoke. This servant deserves to die. Please forgive me, Emperor."
Zhang Gonggong's face was deathly pale. He knelt on the ground, slamming his forehead heavily against it. Soon, the floor was stained with blood, which ran down his cheeks and soaked his clothes.
The people who were kneeling on the ground, thinking they were about to be saved, were suddenly dumbfounded.
You should know that Eunuch Zhang was a favorite of this emperor.
Wen Ziyu seemed to have just come to his senses. Upon seeing this scene, he subconsciously tried to stop it, but in the process, he was pulled down by someone.

Before long, Steward Zhang was dragged away. At an age when he was about to enjoy his old age, he was dragged to the front of the main hall and beaten to death.
The palace maids and eunuchs, who had originally thought they were waiting for their savior, didn't dare to utter a sound. They knelt to one side, hoping that the punishment would end soon.
