Since Sang Que and his group disguised themselves as members of the Meng Family, Qiu Wanjun and Qiu Siming couldn't find any trace of the intruders in Shengjing City, and the city returned to its peace.
The Evil Suppression Bureau and the Imperial Guard patrolled Shengjing daily as usual, and everything remained normal except for the state of alert.
This day, He Buning and Xiao Liu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the Evil Suppression Bureau and happened to encounter Qin Ze at the side gate.
As the year-end approached, court officials frequently sent New Year's gifts, and He Buning claimed that the Prime Minister was in seclusion and not receiving visitors, so he usually entered and exited through the side gate.
