Ye Zongshen did not appear in person, but the steward reported to them to leave.
That night, many learned that Mrs. Wang had been dismissed.
Both Meng Po and Qi Wen continued to stay by the Emperor's side, and two months later, they were promoted again. However, they were still Imperial Attendants.
New Year's came again, and the two had the opportunity to attend the banquet.
This time it was quite lively, with Dukes from afar coming to pay their respects.
While the Emperor was in high spirits, someone suddenly charged forward with a dagger.
Qi Wen moved very quickly, directly rushing over and subduing the assailant in moments.
The ministers, witnessing this scene, were terrified. They were also very amazed at Lord Ye's skills.
The Emperor quickly calmed down, very satisfied with the two young people who stood before him to protect him.
Soon the assassin was apprehended, and the banquet continued, though not with the same ease as before.
