Who would have thought, not long after starting the task, we ran into Minister Qi!
"Sir, what should we do? Should we still bring it back?" The guard asked hesitantly, "Otherwise, should we consult Lord Chu's opinion?"
The moment Yan Zhenming heard the name Lord Chu, he felt a pang of fear. He had been utterly terrified just now, dreading that Chu Heng might actually be the one lying on the bed.
In that case, he wouldn't know how to face his superior in the future.
Luckily...
It was all false.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his mind racing rapidly. He quickly realized that today's incident was definitely not an ordinary affair, as it involved both Great Minister Qi and Lord Chu, neither of whom could be offended.
But he couldn't pretend as though nothing happened either.
So...
He quickly made a decision.
"Move out."
With an order given.
The group rode back to the yamen from the main street in their carriages.
