"Ms. Yang coughed up blood and fell into a coma because of me," Hang Qingming said resolutely, "I couldn't possibly leave with my conscience at ease if I were to just walk away now."
Letting him go before the young master was something Nan Tian and Bei Hai couldn't bring themselves to do, but with the Emperor gravely ill, if the young master didn't return, on the one hand, he would be blamed for being unfilial, and on the other, the situation within the country was unpredictable.
Just as Nan Tian and Bei Hai were preparing to persuade Hang Qingming, a Hidden Guard suddenly appeared, delivering a secret report to him. After Hang Qingming read it, his expression immediately relaxed, and there was a hint of an incredulous smile. The secret letter from the Imperial Younger Sister said that he had been away from home too long, and that the Emperor missed him terribly, hence he feigned illness to trick him into returning.
