The Emperor appointed Xu Zizhou as the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and, after transferring the assassination case to Shen Yian of the Central Judicial Office, summoned Ling Hua to the Imperial Palace on the fifth day of the early morning.
Ling Hua had gotten up early, intending to head to Qiyun Mountain according to her agreement with Yan Qing but unexpectedly, just as she had said, she was summoned to the palace on that very day.
She could only send someone to the Marquis Duanjing Residence to inform Yan Qing, asking him to wait. Once she got out of the palace, if His Majesty didn't assign her any tasks, she would then set off with him to Qiyun Mountain.
With his restrictions lifted that day, Yan Qing had gotten up early from bed, feeling refreshed and waiting for Ling Hua to start their journey to Qiyun Mountain.
