Sang Yan rose. "I have to get back and report, so I won't trouble you any further."
"Won't you stay a little longer, Third Prince?" Zhan Yi asked, also rising to his feet.
"I can't. The thief who robbed the Imperial Palace still hasn't been caught. After I report, I have to go stand watch at the city gates." Sang Yan was perceptive. 'With such a great honor bestowed upon them, he probably just wants to hug his little girl and celebrate.'
"You're a busy man. I will see the Prince out." Zhan Yi gestured for him to lead the way.
Sang Yan nodded. "Chi, Minister Qian, I'm off. We should get together another day."
"Alright," Zhan Chi said with a smile.
Qian Fanji also gave a slight nod.
Sang Yan smiled and walked out the door, sighing to himself. 'Thanks to Ye Qianning, the relationship between our four families has really changed a lot. Maybe it won't be long before the four of us can be like we used to be.'
