Just after noon, it started raining heavily again and didn't stop until evening.
Su Li wrote a note to Pei Ji and gave it to Zhi Chang.
When General Pingnan handed Zhichang and Zhitang to Pei Ji, the two also brought over a dozen homing pigeons they had raised themselves, which came in handy now.
After Zhichang left with the note, Xiao Sanzi also came back and brought back news about Xiao Shaokun from the Qingping Earl's Mansion.

Because of this, Concubine Xiao was neglected by the emperor for a long time, and the culprit Xiao Shaokun was sentenced to death and executed in the autumn.
Xiao Shaokun, it's over...
After hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at Su Li in surprise and said, "Madam, is this what you said before that we would know in a few days?"
