As New Year's Eve was approaching, he returned to the capital city full of disappointment.
The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was not to go back to his mansion located in the most prestigious area of the capital, but to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
It was snowing heavily outside, but it was warm as spring in the imperial study.
After Zhu Chuanming knelt down and bowed, Emperor Qing Le gave him a seat.
Zhu Chuanming sat on a chair, drinking hot tea and reporting to Emperor Qing Le on the process of searching for people over the past few months as if chatting with him as if it were a family matter.
“…Initially, I found Luo Qing in Qinglan Town and brought her back to the mountain, so I guessed she must be from nearby.

If you can't find her in three years, then you can search for ten years."
He would find her no matter what.
