"I'm so thankful for your wise words. I feel like I understand what I should do now. Thank you," Pei An faced Li Ze with bright eyes full of energy.
Li Ze looked at her and realized that he had inadvertently 'helped' and unknown woman solve her problem when he was supposedly out for a walk.
"... No problem," he said.
Then they parted ways.
Pei An waved her hands with gusto to show him how much she appreciated his wisdom as she walked further and further away. Her destination was fixed towards the southwest area which was close to the empress' quarters.
That area was dedicated to upper circle nobles and most of them were the empress' supporters, or better- Li Jun's supporters.
Li Ze wondered which palace she belonged to.
She could be a future wife of one of his many cousins or the high-level ministers' sons.
When Pei An's figure was no longer seen, he turned away.
