Thanks to one small act of kindness, by providence she comes across a grateful friend; Fortunate that her mother, has done an unperceived good deed…. Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor… Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road?

Fan Xian walked out of the Eastern Palace. He personally turned around to properly close the two thick, heavy doors. Glancing at the densely packed group of people around the Eastern Palace, his face was calm. But, his heart rolled with unnamed emotion. After they calmed slightly, he waved to Eunuch Yao at the front of the group.
Eunuch Yao had followed the Emperor through the most difficult time on Dong Mountain. After Eunuch Hong's sacrifice for the country, he had become the foremost person in the Qing internal court. However, Fan Xian continued to wave at him just as casually as before.
Eunuch Yao bent over and respectfully went forward to accept orders. From this expression, no one doubted the future power Fan Xian would have.
