The new emperor was in the Imperial Study Room reviewing memorials, but Eunuch Fu had yet to return with a report.
His patience waned, and he decided to leave the palace to see what was going on.
He didn't reveal himself but found a teahouse from where he could see the Ji Mansion in the distance.
Seeing Ji Mingzhu leave the mansion and take a carriage heading towards the Imperial Palace, his restless heart finally settled.
Since he rarely left the palace, he decided to stay a bit longer.
He planned to return once the time was right.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to calm down, always wanting to run to his mother's palace.
Not to mention someone might see through his intentions, scaring Mingzhu would be unfortunate.
He tapped his fingers on the table, contemplating whether he should send a letter to Xie Yunzhen.
Even if he didn't send one, news would eventually reach the military camp.
But there's a difference between the two.
