"We've arrived in the capital, and Brother Siyuan has already gone to the palace."
Wang Yu took the bowl from the table and fed Erbao spoonful by spoonful, saying, "You two will have to stay in the space for a while. You can only come out after everything is over and settled. I'm sorry to have troubled Achen."
Cheng Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not wronged. My husband has been tired these past few days. Take a good rest."
Wang Yu thought that Zhang Siyuan would be back soon, so he nodded and said, "You guys should get some rest early. I'll ask someone to get some hot water so you can wash up."
She took out her pajamas from the closet and gave them to Cheng Chen. After talking to Cheng Chen, she left the space. After waiting for the servants to bring hot water for Cheng Chen and Erbao to wash up, she rested in the guest room. She was really tired and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. When she woke up, it was already the next day.
Zhang Siyuan came over and said the emperor had summoned him. "I saw you were already asleep when I got home yesterday. I thought you must be very tired after all the traveling, so I didn't wake you up."
"Thank you, Brother Siyuan." Wang Yu put on the clothes prepared by Zhang Siyuan and went to the palace with him.

"Xiuzhi is here."
Wang Yu greeted: "Your Highness."

It was obvious that he did not take him seriously and did not take the imperial power seriously. As Wang Yu said, there might be more powerful officials who were deceiving people in this matter.
The emperor directly appointed Wang Yu as the inspector of cases. The inspector of cases was directly appointed by the emperor and ordered the Dali Temple to assist in handling cases.
As for why the emperor did not use people from the Censorate, the Censorate was an institution specially set up by the emperor to supervise all officials. Since it was full of people from top to bottom, it was obvious that the Censorate was not clean either.
Thinking of this, the emperor became even more angry. He drafted an imperial edict to let Wang Yu act as he pleased without any worries. All the criminals, regardless of their official rank, were escorted to Beijing by the Dali Temple. He also arranged for a thousand Jinyiwei to assist him.
After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Yu led his men to Huaining without stopping. The sooner this matter was resolved, the better.
