311 Elder Song Encounters Danger
In the following days, Zhao Zhitong obediently stayed in bed, not going anywhere or doing anything. The days were long and boring, so she looked forward most to Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue's daily visits.
Qiao Muchen reported that the current case was progressing very poorly. The clues had dried up after Li Zhoucheng went mad; Li Zhoucheng was receiving treatment, but his recovery was uncertain.
Meanwhile, Song Renying suddenly received a secret report from the imperial court ordering him to drop the case and return to the Capital City immediately—an imperial decree that could not be disobeyed.

Considering a previous assassination attempt, Zhao Yu offered to accompany them to ensure Li Zhoucheng's safe return. Before Song Renying departed, he told Qiao Muchen and Zhao Zhitong that they would meet again in the Capital City.
