After the two agreed on a plan, Yun Chi ordered preparations to be made for the return journey to the Capital the next day.
Upon hearing that the Crown Prince was to set out for the Capital tomorrow, Minister Zhou hurried over, earnestly requesting to hold a banquet this evening as a farewell for His Highness and the Crown Princess Consort, imploring that His Highness must grace them with his presence.
Minister Zhou was not a person prone to scheming, so his request was made with genuine trepidation.
Yun Chi sought Hua Yan's opinion with a glance.
Hua Yan smiled and said, "You should go to the banquet! I won't attend, but let Minister Zhou and his wife bring their sons and daughters to see me."
Yun Chi nodded.
