Han Qiao did have the intention of beating up Qin Song's wife.
That was why she ignored her.
When it was almost lunchtime, the deafening sound of horse hooves came from outside.
"The Imperial Decree!"
They heard the loud shout.
The guests were so shocked that they immediately stood up.
Heng Yi stood up and went out to welcome them.
"Eunuch Defu."
"Marquis of Wanning, greetings."
Eunuch Defu endured the pain in his back and waited for Heng Yi to prepare the incense table to receive Emperor Zhao Qian's decree.
Heng Yi knelt down, Han Qiao and Ah-Yao knelt beside him, and so did the others.
"In accordance with the heavens, the Emperor has decreed that the Marquis of Wanning will share your worries…"
The rewards they received were quite a lot.
There was another imperial edict for Heng Yao.
