Tong Sanlang and Yang Wenxiao didn't return until dinner time, both of them wore unpleasant expressions on their faces.
After having dinner and going back to the rear hall, Tong Sanlang told Qiao Xiaomai about the specifics: Yang Wang claimed he knew nothing about the Hellfire Flower, and weeping over his past mistakes, he emotionally appealed to Yang Wenxiao, begging for forgiveness.
He would rather suffer in the borderlands than be trapped in the modest confines of the Prince's estate for a lifetime.
Yang Wenxiao's trip this time was purely a waste, listening to garbage talk.
"The retired emperor has already sent for the head of the Liu Family," he said.
Previously elated by the news of the Divine Liquid, Yang Wenxiao had banished all those from the Liu Family to mend roads; but now, since Emperor Yong'an and his group hadn't exhibited withdrawal symptoms within the expected timeframe, Yang Wenxiao felt uneasy and had people bring the Liu Family members back.
