The lead Hidden Guard stated that they were sent by the Crown Prince to escort Prince Li of Yan back to Yan.
The Yan envoy respectfully bowed towards the Crown Prince's men. First, they humbly bowed towards the direction of Dadu City, then thanked the Crown Prince's men. They expressed their gratitude for the care shown by the Emperor of Jin and the Crown Prince towards their Prince, Murong Li. Afterward, they mentioned that their Prince Li, because he was concerned about Emperor Yan's health and found the carriage too slow, had already ridden ahead quickly back to Yan.
After sending one person to report back to the Crown Prince, the rest of the Hidden Guards set off quickly along the official road to catch up with Murong Li.
On the early morning of October 25, the dawn light was faint.
Wei Zhong waited early at Qinghui Courtyard, watching the maids bowing with the washing utensils, filing into the upper part of Qinghui Courtyard.
