After returning to the Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhou did not look for Pei Shuhua. He went directly back to the Long Life Hall, for now it was Pei Shuhua who needed his help, so naturally, she should come to him.
Upon hearing that Emperor Zhou had returned to the Imperial Palace, Pei Shuhua immediately returned to the Long Life Hall, realizing instantly his little scheme of not intending to see her.
Nevertheless, Pei Shuhua wasn't too concerned. After all, he was just a puppet emperor, and such schemes were his only means to maintain dignity.
Subsequently, Pei Shuhua took the initiative to head to the Long Life Hall.
In the Long Life Hall, Emperor Zhou sat serenely on a meditation mat, his eyes slightly closed, emanating a bluish-black spirit evil aura. Just then, the main door of the Long Life Hall slowly opened, and Pei Shuhua, clad in a profound robe, entered the hall.
