The Emperor Visits, Father and Daughter Meet

The Emperor was distraught after such a big thing happened. The carriage had already reached the palace gate when he suddenly stopped the coachman.

The coachman asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you going back to the palace?"

They were already at their own house.

The incident at the altar had caused too much trouble, and the palace had probably already received the news. If he returned now, he would either be greeted by Consort Yun's unreasonableness or the Empress's tears. Although he was the Emperor, he was also an ordinary man. When he encountered such a thing, he would occasionally want to escape.

He pressed his throbbing temples. "To the Gu Hall."

"Yes."

The coachman changed direction and drove the carriage away from the palace towards the Gu Hall dozens of miles away. A fire broke out in the Gu Hall, and a few courtyards were missing. Among them was Gu Elder Kong's courtyard.
