Chapter 688: Can't Take It Out...

Chen Qing did not meet the Emperor, as the location where the Emperor was invited differed from theirs; it was inside the Imperial Palace of Yundu, while they were situated in what was once the Honglu Temple of Yundu.

According to Zhang Xiaoyun, His Majesty is the recognized Saintly Emperor of the present day, and Yundu naturally also extended imperial reception rituals. The Imperial Palace of Yundu was always the Emperor's sleeping quarters, so it was entirely normal for His Majesty to reside there.

As for Chen Qing, being an external prince, it was inconvenient for him to stay in the palace, so he was arranged to stay in the Honglu Temple instead.

This excuse left Chen Qing bewildered.

What was the meaning behind Yundu's actions?

Recognizing the Emperor and even inviting him to stay in the Imperial Palace of Yundu?

On a legal basis, recognizing the Emperor, did that signify Yundu extending an olive branch to the Emperor?
