After Zhang Qing tidied himself up, he conveyed the matters concerning the old ministers with an excited but cautious heart.
The Emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Very well, it is Heaven's will. Help me change my clothes, I will go see them myself."
His Little Concubine had awoken, and what he had promised before would soon be fulfilled. This was Heaven's will, and luck favored them this time; the pardon would be granted.
Zhang Qing was overjoyed, repeatedly praising the Emperor's wisdom.
After changing his clothes, the Emperor glanced at the East Side Hall, murmured a few words, then strode towards the Star Palace.
His heart was filled with anticipation, knowing that from this moment on, there would be someone waiting for him here, someone whose every frown and smile he could always see whenever he returned.
Not long after, a burst of joyous noise erupted from the Lian Family's house in the Capital City, voices of celebration echoing throughout.
