Chapter 277 - 246 It’s All Your Fault (Triple Update Combined)
The end of the year was drawing near, and in the Capital City of Great Yu, this time of year always brought a mix of rain and snow.
After leaving the military camp, Chen Yi first made a trip to the West Factory to inquire about Wu Qingsheng’s case.
Upon entering the West Factory, even though Chen Yi had been reassigned, nobody would dare stop him, making it easy for him to approach Wu Qingsheng.
"Wan Xifeng of Ju Weng Pavilion... This case has been lingering for a while now; I’ll need to find some time to sift through the archives,"
Wu Qingsheng said as he pressed his hands against the desk and stood up. Seemingly setting the matter aside for now, he continued:
"Early this morning, the palace sent word urging you to go to the Bureau of Astronomy promptly to register your name in the Spring Register, so it can pave the way for your duties at Stop-War Division."
Chen Yi lowered his gaze and displayed no surprise. It was only natural, both by reason and by rule, that he should have entered the Spring Register during his fifth-grade rank. But due to the complex circumstances surrounding the matter, it had dragged on until now. With Prince of Annan’s troops gradually withdrawing, the Capital City had stabilized, and the palace, feeling it was long overdue, could wait no longer—it was finally time.
"Alright, I’ll head home first to arrange some matters," Chen Yi replied.
Soon, he would need to go on an outing that wasn’t very close nor far away, but beforehand, he decided to make some meals for Yin Tingxue and Zhou Yitang.
The West Factory’s location was not far from his home. Not long after, Chen Yi returned home.
Once home, after changing out of his clothes, Chen Yi made his way to the bedroom, where he saw Yin Tingxue awake. She looked spirited, lying on the bed under a quilt, holding a book in her hands and reading.
Chen Yi focused his gaze—it wasn’t some miscellaneous essays or novels but the mental method Zhou Yitang had given her.
