The eunuch lowered his head, not daring to meet the master's gaze, for fear that the master's anger would fall upon him.
Princess Baohui is the current emperor's twin sister, and the two are very close. The emperor never refuses Princess Baohui's requests, as long as they don't involve murder or arson.
