The palace summons naturally left Zhou Dao with no room to dally, and he followed the eunuch who had delivered the imperial edict out of the Demon Control Department.
In fact, since his return from Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhou Dao had assumed that the Qin Emperor would summon him, but other than an edict that appointed him to an official position, the palace had remained silent.
"Eunuch, the edict was somewhat vague, was it His Majesty summoning me?" On the way, Zhou Dao couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch delivering the summons felt his legs go weak, stumbled, and nearly fell.
"Eunuch, are you all right?" Zhou Dao quickly reached out to steady him.
But the eunuch looked at Zhou Dao with a face full of terror, as if he had seen a ghost.
He had been serving in the palace for over twenty years since being castrated at the age of three, and he had never heard anyone claim the imperial edicts to be vague.
