Once the most magnificent palace within the imperial city, Wushan Abode was now the hub that sat at the centre of the thirteen inner palace departments. This was not to say that the higher-ranking eunuchs that ran the departments would work from here. The inner palace alone covered substantial ground and it would be inefficient for them to oversee things from a distance. So naturally, they had their own offices closer to their base of operations.
