Dunle State
Luo Shunchen, with his troops, returned to Dunle State.
His first action was not to enter the palace to see Emperor Xuan, but to go to the National Master's Mansion to find Xi Xiaomeng and ask what exactly was going on.
Upon learning that his mother, the Noble Consort, was indeed safe and that Xi Xiaomeng had been secretly assisting, without letting anyone know to avoid loose talk which might expose the situation and make Noble Consort Bing's whereabouts more difficult.
Understanding the situation, Luo Shunchen's handsome face carried a sardonic smile, "Was all of this Grand Empress's idea?"
"Yes."
"Her Majesty truly favours Fifth Brother."
"Your Highness, do you require me to do anything next?"
"No need, you don't need to do anything. Find Wu Qing for me, I have something for him to do."
"Wu Qing is at the Imperial Palace and will be back shortly."
"Mm."
