It was very important to get Destiny Monk here, so De Fu could not delay at all, so he hurried off. As for what happened between him and Gu Chaoyan in the court, it was not mentioned, because compared to Destiny Monk's arrival, what mattered more was very clear for De Fu. He understood well what he should and should not do.
Destiny Monk was at Yanxing Palace, and without any order from the King, people would stay there and wait.
That was what the rules were like in the court, even if that person was Destiny Monk.
The King had never thought that Destiny Monk would come to the court of his own accord, so he did not tell his staff how to receive him. Therefore, it was quite chaotic in the court.
De Fu went to Yanxing Palace with utter courtesy.

In Qianqing Palace, the King and Gu Ruxue were both very quiet. Both of them were planning something.
