Although many people did not get a good night's sleep, many people had been busy. Some had not gone to bed for the entire night. The palace treasury spring bidding still opened on time the next morning despite the major event that happened in Suzhou.
These were the past rules of the court.
Even though Eunuch Huang and Guo Zheng had cited the lockdown on Suzhou and Xia Qifei's assassination attempt in their request to postpone the date of the transport company bidding for a few days, Fan Xian remained resolute and decisive. He valiantly requested that the bidding start on time, not a moment late.
The Ming family had already obtained one extra night of time. If they were given more reaction time, who knew what else could happen?
