The Fan manor's carriage moved along the path leading out of the city. It had just left the western city gate when it turned toward the country estate in the distance, enveloped by the light of dusk. He entered the Palace in the morning and returned to the manor after midday, but Fan Xian did not waste any time. He immediately boarded the carriage with Wan'er and went to the country estate in the outskirts of the city.
An edict had come from the Palace the previous night that had completely ended the surveillance on Fan manor. Everyone had thought that the cold war between the Emperor and Fan Xian had ended. Unexpectedly, after Fan Xian entered the Palace to see the Emperor, no news of his rise came from the Palace. There wasn't even a related edict. Putting aside what the officials and various factions were guessing, the Fan manor's carriage just going out like this still surprised many people.
