In the capital.
At the tavern, Minister Qi sat in a private room with King Qi, looking out towards the city gate through a half-open window.
Minister Qi felt a bit discontent: "Prince Rong got quite a bargain this time."
"If he personally leads the Beirong Prince to meet the Emperor, who knows how it will affect the Emperor's arrangements for trade with Beirong."
King Qi looked dejected because of issues concerning his mother, his spirits were low.
Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi was sent out of the palace yesterday, to a temple.
Due to Emperor Xuanming's orders, King Qi didn't even have the privilege to personally escort his mother.
"Uncle, this task probably won't be arranged so quickly, no need to worry," King Qi spoke to comfort.
Minister Qi understood the matter was already settled, naturally wouldn't keep regretting.
