The next day, after Wang Cheng had breakfast in the Outer Court, he went to the Bamboo Pavilion.
Chu Lingxuan told him that Mr. Chu would send people to investigate the matter, but it would be carried out secretly. He would speak to Commander Lin and ordered him to his own camp; he also instructed him not to talk about the matter to anyone.
Commander Lin was Princess Rui's father, and informing him about a groom transfer seemed like overkill. Maybe Chu Lingxuan just wanted to leave a good impression of Wang Cheng to Commander Lin for future purposes.
Wang Cheng stood up, agreed and laughed heartily. Being in General Chu's camp would bring him closer to his sister's house. Still, he was afraid of Chu Lingxuan. Whenever the higher-ups asked him something, he would automatically stand up straight and answer.
