The Marchioness tightly gripped the Buddha Beads in her hand, steadying herself before speaking: "Regardless of whether we have any interaction, the visitor is a guest..."
Soon, the news that the Emperor of Zhou, in plain mourning attire, personally came to offer condolences to the Marquis of Dingyong spread throughout Dadu City, prompting many nobles and scholars who originally planned to visit in the afternoon to hastily come.
Even the Prince of Hancheng, who usually had no dealings with the Dingyong Marquis, unexpectedly appeared.
The Prince of Hancheng had just received a secret letter from the Dongyi Kingdom when he heard Bai Qingyan was present. After contemplating for a moment, he ordered a carriage to visit the Marquis of Dingyong, not to curry favor like others but because he had urgent matters to discuss with Bai Qingyan.
