Atlas arrived at the cold palace, and after ordering a maid to get a dress for Bei Weiwei, the daughter of Bei Guang, he took a nap. He was exhausted and wanted to rest before tonight.
Xiaoshu went back and looked for his mother excitedly. When she saw her son, she immediately noticed his good mood.
She could tell that lately, he had felt depressed due to not making any progress. She asked, "What happened?"
Xiaoshu explained, "Atlas wasn't in the cold palace. He left for the Yu state and brought back the peasants who escaped from the great commander and exposed Chaoyang's upheaval against the empire. It turns out he was working with him and the minister of officials and justice. They were all arrested and thrown in prison; they will all die soon."
Empress Ling did not smile like Xiaoshu thought she would. He added, "Atlas admitted in front of the whole court, that Emperor father adopted him."
Ling asked, "Atlas is the one who discovered Chaoyang's plot?"
