After observing Emperor Yuanzhen's demeanor, he sensed something suspicious lurking behind.
Thus, he inclined more towards trusting Chu Zhiyuan's judgment.
This Cheng Yunzheng had a double to sneak away in Phoenix Imperial City.
If this were truly the case, it would be toying with the Phoenix Dynasty, rendering it a laughing stock.
This sort of thing is absolutely unacceptable.
They quickly packed their things, while Li Cunren returned to the Imperial Palace once more.
An hour later, they left Yuanzhen Imperial City.
Yuanzhen Imperial City closes its gates at night; Li Cunren handed over a Token to the city guards, who opened the gate to let them leave.
Upon exiting the Imperial City, Chu Zhiyuan saw Sun Qiying constantly looking back, and said, "Mr. Sun, are you reluctant to leave?"
"Alas..." Sun Qiying stroked his beard with a sigh: "I wonder if there'll be another chance to come back."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Once the clamor subsides, Mr. Sun, you can come back if you wish."
