The Emperor had no objections and swiftly approved Yun Chi's journey to the troubled Southwest foreign country. This move silenced the array of court officials, who had unsuccessfully tried to dissuade the Crown Prince from seeking the Emperor's approval. Seeing that the Emperor was in agreement, the court officials also unanimously lowered their banners and ceased drumming.
After discussing official matters, just as Yun Chi was about to leave, the Emperor suddenly recalled Hua Yan and inquired, "You are leaving the Capital City, and the date of your return is unknown. Hua Yan from Lin'an is not the type to stay quietly at home—do you have any arrangements for her?"
Yun Chi gave a faint smile, "Take her with me."
