Liang Wan hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I just wanted to see if there was any chance of it being healed."
The eunuch glanced at her, his eyes filled with an unreadable expression that was painful to see.
The hand he had raised fell back to his side. He lowered his gaze, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Liang Wan chased after him. "Wait! You still haven't told me your name."
The eunuch gave her no chance, easily shaking her off.
Liang Wan stared at the courtyard, now empty save for the flowers and trees, feeling a little helpless.
'Forget it.' Suddenly remembering something, she didn't dare delay any longer and hurried toward Taiji Palace.
It was only a wall away.
The person behind the arched gate looked over again, but all he could see was a plain-colored silhouette, like a wisp of a white cloud, quickly blown away by the wind.
When he turned back, all that was left was a sigh.
Not only was he disfigured and mute, but he was also crippled.
