Luo Cheng saw this and quickly shook both hands, "How could I be such an ungrateful person? It’s just that I’m afraid you won’t be accustomed to staying in the Capital City and suffer indignities again."
"Not at all." The woman, upon hearing he was not going to abandon her, immediately beamed with joy.
"Let’s go." Luo Cheng took her back to the tent.
Pei Huaian squinted for a moment, then began to organize the army to set out for the Capital City.
By this time, the Capital City was already packed with people, all eagerly awaiting the triumphant return of the Fifth Prince; even the imperial palace was prepared for a grand ceremony.
The Emperor himself stood on the city tower waiting, with civil and military officials standing behind him. The Empress squeezed out a smile with great effort, suppressing the jealousy in her heart.
The princes all wore different expressions—some joyful, some relieved, and others filled with jealousy and hatred.
Pei Huaian rode into the Capital City on a tall horse, to cheers from both sides of the street, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"We welcome the triumphant return of the Fifth Prince." The crowd knelt and cheered in unison.
Pei Huaian glanced at Luo Cheng, signaling him to settle Tang Wan first.
He then led the army straight to the Imperial City.
