There was no movement inside, so Zhang Ping continued, "They're from the palace."
A moment later, the door opened, Xie Linzhou took the letter, glanced at it, and his brows furrowed instantly.
"Young master, is something the matter?"
"Go pack your things, we'll head back to Beijing first thing tomorrow morning."
