Zhou Shuang's deposition didn't cause much of a stir in the Capital City.
After all, it was the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince who voluntarily challenged Grand Protector Chen, and it was a case of the subordinate offending the superior. Zhou Shuang ended up severely injured and deposed, which many saw as a deserved consequence.
The Emperor symbolically awarded some silver taels, offered some consolations, and the matter was resolved.
The following days passed peacefully.
Chen Tang would get up early during the day, practice martial arts before entering the palace, teach Yuan Taiping some martial arts, stroll through the harem gardens with Yuan Qingmu, have casual chats, and return to Prince Wei's Mansion in the evening.
Within a few days, with the various Miracle Elixirs from the Imperial Palace, the injuries Chen Tang suffered in the arena had mostly healed.
