Eunuch Quan has been following the Emperor since childhood, witnessing him marry and take concubines.
Back then, the Rong Family, mere merchants, seeking protection from Prince Kang, sent their daughter of stunning beauty to the backyard of Prince Kang, not daring to ask for any title.
Prince Kang, seeing the extraordinary beauty of the Rong Family's daughter, accepted her.
At that time, Eunuch Quan was not yet the Chief Eunuch overseeing punishments; he had once passed messages for Prince Kang to Consort Rong's family, so he knew where Consort Rong's family used to live.
Eunuch Quan, holding this stack of papers, was unusually nervous. If it were concerning someone else, he could just go and bluff Commander Zhu, and perhaps within no time, extract his innermost thoughts.
But as it involved Consort Rong, he didn't dare.
Consort Rong was favored and had borne two Princes, firmly establishing her position in the palace.
