Xiang Song craned his neck and saw the words "Nangong Zeyue" written on the paper.
"Master, is there something wrong with him?"
Seeing his master's solemn expression, Xiang Song couldn't help but ask a question.
Xiao Jingzhao put down the paper in his hand. "His background is the most suspicious. I suspect that he is the eldest prince of Liang Kingdom that we are looking for."
"Master, what should we do next? Should I send a few trusted men to Liang to retrieve portraits of the Liang emperor and empress?"
"No need, we'll see when the envoy arrives."
Xiao Jingzhao paused for a moment and then said, "Go and prepare the carriages and horses, and send the Empress Dowager back to Yannan in two days."
Xiao Jingzhao realized that Su Jin's father would soon return to the capital and be reinstated, so his elder brother, the Prince Kang's, wedding would have to be brought forward.
Yonghe is right. It's not good for the Prince's mansion to be without a mistress. Now that the eldest prince has married Miss Su, Father and Mother can rest assured.

Around noon, Prime Minister Lin hurriedly went to the Su residence.
“Brother, Uncle Su can return to the capital to resume his post.”
Su Jin excitedly welcomed Lin Xiangzhi into the warm pavilion, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Thank you for telling me, Brother Lin. Prefect Lu's handling of the case is truly remarkable. Please accompany me, Brother Lin, as I must personally go and thank him."
Lin Xiangzhi said, "Don't go looking for him recently. There's a long queue in front of the yamen today. He's busy."
"So many cases have occurred?" Su Jin asked in astonishment.
"It's all over the streets and alleys, haven't you heard about it yet, my dear brother?"
