They exchanged a look, falling silent. They understood why De Fu was here.

The court just could not wait to see them. It was getting dark now, yet they were still asked to go into the court directly.

They had been aware of this result. On the way back to the capital, they already figured out what might happen after they returned.

Fu Bao came to inform them so they were prepared. After Fu Bao's message, De Fu arrived.

He looked really proud.

He was here to pass on the King's imperial order, so he did not need to greet Lord Huai.

De Fu did not like Gu Chaoyan because of the grudge they had before, so he was not speaking to them with a good attitude.
