Wen Qiliang received the imperial edict and arrived at the Eastern Palace with all due propriety, which also relieved Xiao Ze.
It was clear that His Majesty had not completely cut off his contact with the outside world. Now that he had allowed Wen Qiliang to visit him, it also meant that even though Wen Xiyao had been deposed from her position as the Crown Princess Consort, His Majesty still tacitly approved of the Wen Family's relationship with him.
So, when he met Wen Qiliang, his mood lightened considerably from the gloominess of the previous day, infused with some joy.
Wen Qiliang also came with joy, whispering to Xiao Ze the secret decree His Majesty entrusted to him.
Xiao Ze nodded, "Father has entrusted such an important task to my father-in-law, which shows his high regard for him. The people father-in-law sends to Ling Mountain must be extremely careful, they must thoroughly investigate the internal affairs of Ling Mountain and report back to His Majesty."
