Yes, something like that. The eunuch was meant to kill his own son., Fajuyi, who was found to be the lover of the king's wife. But then, this was his only son, the only son he would ever have. So, he begged the king for mercy. I don't think the king heed his plea.

Thanks for reading, @illuminatus.

I think I have seen a movie like that. The son was Funsho Adeolu and the Queen was Fathia Balogun.

Yea, this same film inspired the poem. The film itself is based on true historical events. But then, the film is merely an adaptation. It has a lot of fiction in it

Of all the eunuchs in the world, none are as well known as the eunuch Wei Zhongxian. For his power was once second only to the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.
