Shen Wei personally went to the gates of Yongning Palace to welcome her guests.
As soon as Zhao Yang appeared, she happily spread her arms to embrace Shen Wei, beaming with joy. "You're finally back! It seems my imperial brother still has a conscience."
Shen Wei invited the two inside.
Zhang Miaoyu curiously glanced around, taking in the familiar furnishings of Yongning Palace—almost identical to the Glazed Pavilion in Prince Yan's Mansion.
Rumors had been swirling through the palace, claiming that Shen Wei's return was solely due to her brother, a powerful general commanding troops. But seeing the meticulous recreation of her old residence, Zhang Miaoyu realized the rumors were false.
The Emperor had long intended to bring Shen Wei back—otherwise, why would he have gone to such lengths to restore Yongning Palace?
