He smiled slightly and said, "Lord Yan, if you do not reclaim the position of the University Scholar in the Cabinet soon, Mr. Zhang will surely secure his seat."
Lord Yan Xianzhi chuckled, "Is Mr. Zhang truly seated securely?"
He lifted his teacup to drink and laughed, "When he is helpless, he will beg me to return and take up the role of University Scholar. But what about you, Elder Feng? How can you take back control of the Eastern Factory? How can you return to your position as Chief Eunuch?"
Eunuch Feng kicked aside a maid who was massaging his leg, laughing, "I was crippled by Chen Yindu, having performed arduous and meritorious deeds; wouldn't it make sense for me to retake control?"
Yan Xianzhi stared at his legs, "Your legs have been crippled for ten years now, haven't they? Still not healed?"
"Not healed," Eunuch Feng stated solemnly.
