Xu Gao laughed and said, "That person was bullied by the chief eunuch when he was eight, and Zhang Dequan happened to save him. Since then, he has been loyal to Zhang Dequan. Zhang Dequan has cared for him for nine years and observed him for nine years."
Concubine Han smiled smugly, "It's a pity he never saw through it."
Xu Gao continued, "How could he have known that the bullying back then was arranged by Your Highness?"
Concubine Han dipped her brush in ink and said arrogantly, "That little eunuch is quite insightful. We've cultivated many secret pawns over the years, but many have been exposed. He's very clever. Tell him that if he helps this palace topple Shangguan Yun and her son this time, this palace will request a decree to transfer him to the Directorate of the Imperial Household. The position of Director at the Directorate of the Imperial Household happens to be vacant. Although he's young, it wouldn't be difficult for this palace to elevate him."
