"Don't worry father in law. I didn't talk about leaving the Royal Palace. I meant to leave this chamber so I can go to our bedroom and talk with Mingyu. I have many things to explain and talk to her about. Don't worry; I'm not leaving so soon," Long Chen told the nervous Emperor.
"Oh, that's what you meant. Sure. Go and have a rest. I'll arrange for a feast tonight to celebrate things returning to normal and as an apology for you. Please look forward to it," the Emperor said as he breathed a sigh of relief at Long Chen's explanation.
He also realized that he had overreacted. Fortunately, Long Chen didn't seem suspicious. At Least that's what he thought.
Long Chen reached out his hand towards Mingyu as he said, "Shall we leave?"
Mingyu placed her smooth as jade hand in his hands as she nodded.
Turning back, the two of them left the chambers.
...
"What do you think he is planning?'
