When leaving the Imperial Palace, Su Rong bid farewell to the eldest Princess Sheng An and Rui'an King, then directly boarded Yan Huisheng's carriage.
The eldest Princess Sheng An seemed to want to say something to Su Rong, but she just rubbed her tired forehead, didn't speak, nodded instead, and asked her to visit the Duke Residence whenever she has a chance. She then got in her carriage and left.
The Rui'an King got rather scared today, so he followed the eldest Princess Sheng An's carriage to safely deliver her back to the Duke Residence before he had his carriage turned around to return to the Rui'an King's manor.
In the Crown Prince's carriage, Su Rong said to Yan Huisheng, "At that moment, I could have stopped that palace maid who bit off Lipin's hairpin and committed suicide by cutting her throat, but I didn't."
Yan Huisheng nodded, "I understand."
