Zhu Yu returned to find Lu Qing. When she entered the room, Lu Qing was already seated at the table, his golden mask removed. In front of him lay a stack of papers, and he was holding a brush, writing fiercely on the paper, looking in seemingly good spirits and more energetic than before.
Seeing Zhu Yu return, he waved her over to sit at the table: "Madam, you took quite a long time seeing off the guest. It seems your conversation with General Situ was quite delightful?"
With the rune guards stationed outside, Lu Qing felt bold enough to speak freely, so Zhu Yu relaxed, removed her mask, and sat down, saying: "You jest, Prince! General Situ is quite stubborn, and even you couldn't persuade him immediately. How could I have such influence?
I merely reminded him to think carefully about why the Holy Emperor suddenly sent him to Li State. Their Situ family is so stubborn and passive, being manipulated by others. When will it end?"
