His spirits were much better. When he had first been brought over yesterday, his face had been so ashen he looked like he was on the verge of death.

He wanted to avoid turmoil in the imperial court.
Cangyun Country had just endured two natural disasters and could not withstand another blow.
Therefore, Shen Ningning had detailed in her letter how to secretly bring the Emperor to her home.
