With the departure of the retired emperor, the events of the day finally came to an end.
Soon after, Emperor Yongan announced the end of the imperial court session, and all the officials returned to their respective homes.
Yang Wang was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, but in front of all the civil and military officials, he could only bottle up his frustrations. Upon returning to his residence, he vented his feelings by smashing a considerable amount of furniture and porcelain, and only then did he feel slightly relieved.
Dean Gu followed Yang Ye back to the Prince Wei Residence. Since he rarely had the opportunity to visit the Capital City, he decided to extend his stay for a few days.
After an exhausting journey to the Capital City and three consecutive days of court debates, he needed some time to recuperate before returning to Bailu Town.
