Yang Heshu said nothing, but Manbao still learned of his difficult situation. Chongwen Pavilion was no utopia; the disputes within the palace and court naturally became topics of discussion here.
Now that Director Xiao and the others had returned to the Imperial Hospital to work on writings, only Manbao remained at Chongwen Pavilion.
After all, she ate and lived here, and with such a wealth of resources available, she naturally preferred it here.
So in the afternoon, when she returned from her lessons at the Imperial Medical Office, she heard several of the editors in the pavilion gossiping about Yang Heshu before she even entered the door. One said, "I heard Lord Yang has submitted his resignation. Now that he's out of the Imperial Medical Office and the Ministry of Revenue, I wonder where he'll be transferred to."
