Ling Hua naturally wouldn't pursue into the Imperial Palace.
She stood still, speaking in a deep voice, "I will just wait for Xu Shaoyin at Jingzhao Prefecture. He can't stay in the palace and never come out for the rest of his life."
Chen Qiaoyue picked up the conversation, "Of course he won't. Since Miss Ling is not entering the palace, then just wait! I have other matters to deal with, so I won't be able to keep Miss Ling company."
Ling Hua naturally would not let Chen Qiaoyue attend to his affairs, or otherwise wouldn't his actions be erased while Xu Zizhou was in the palace? She had come to Jingzhao Prefecture precisely to keep him entangled.
She said leisurely, "The matter that Lord Chen needs to deal with concerns those four dead men, does it not? Even with the death of the four dead men, the case is not closed. Since it's related to me, I shall accompany Lord Chen! I really can't trust the people from Jingzhao Prefecture, including yourself, my lord."
