The outcome of Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan hurting each other was a restrictive order from the empress that banned them from attending the morning court sessions for ten days.
It was said that after coming back on that day, both of them shut their doors hadn't stepped out since.
There was no other way. Their "fragrance" followed them everywhere they went. On the way back, they were treated like ghosts by the commoners who saw them. The crowd dispersed wherever either of them were.
Over the next few days, the same few words kept resonating in both of their residences.
"Tong Zhenye, you ignorant old man, I will never let you off!"
"Qin Chuan, you ignorant old man, I will never let you off!"
