Zhuo Junli knew he could not escape.
When Chu Yihan learned that Chu Heng had been ambushed and killed on his way back, and that it was Leng Shuqing who wanted to harm him, he flew into a rage. He immediately threw Leng Shuqing into prison and also locked Zhuo Junli in the imperial prison. Even Mo Qi, who had escorted him back, was captured and severely reprimanded.
Mo Qi was punished with a round of beatings, and the political affairs in Zhuo Junli's hands were temporarily taken over by Lu Mian. There were also some arrangements that kept Chu Yihan busy in the imperial study until late into the night.
Chu Heng had been in his arms the whole time until Chu Yihan heard his stomach growling.
Chu Yihan felt his forehead, "Hungry? Go back and join your mother for a meal first."
"Isn't Father coming along?" Chu Heng asked sweetly.
His father had been angry all afternoon and hadn't even eaten.
