As soon as Lord Jing left, the Emperor sat back on the Dragon Chair, took two deep breaths, and said to Xiping, "Send Sanzhu, and bring those adulterers to me!"
"Yes."
Xiping went out, and by the time the Third Prince led the captured Gong Qiu and the Noble Princess Consort into the Imperial Study with a smug expression, Lord Jing was already standing outside the Imperial Palace.
He turned around, looked at the towering palace walls in front of him, smiled, and got into the carriage parked outside.
Then he gave instructions to his attendant, "After a while, go to the Gong Family and bring back Monarch Lu Xiang. I suppose she can't wait until Lord Gong returns home."
Though he said it was to pick someone up, it was actually to deliver a message to Meng Yunzheng.
