In the days that followed, several things seemed to have taken place in Light Tower Palace.
Firstly, Benevolent Consort Sushan had left for her homeland. Secondly, the Sovereign received a letter from Kaelbi, which was read in front of the entire court, detailing what exactly it was that had been taking place in the northern states, and what the measures were for dealing with the illicit mines.
The first thing that happened after that was a round of praise from the Su'ne of the court, even though they were some that were secretly seething.
They also had wanted to take part in the mining, and the fact that they had missed out on making such a fortune was intolerable to them. At the same time, many of them were glad that they had not been caught up in such a scheme.
