After spending some time with the emperor, they bid farewell.
Stepping out of Emperor Xie's residence, Xie Fang ordered Attendant Lu to wheel him away without waiting for Li Chang.
Li Chang was left stunned. His eyes followed the Prince's retreating figure, confused as to why he was suddenly giving him the cold shoulder.
Still, he hurried after him.
"Your Highness, wait for this minister!" he shouted, but Xie Fang didn't turn around or tell Attendant Lu to stop.
Attendant Lu could hear the Regent's words but didn't dare stop unless the Prince said so. After all, his master was His Highness, not the Regent.
Although he was curious about what had happened inside the chamber to make the Crown Prince angry, he kept his thoughts to himself, afraid his head would be chopped off.
Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, Li Chang quickened his pace and caught up with them in no time. He tried to start a conversation, only to be met with silence.
