Mei Wanying didn't tell Pei Yan she was returning to the Capital City, and she made Wei Jue keep it a secret for now.
She wanted to see what Pei Yan's reaction would be when she and Ling suddenly appeared in the Capital City.
Wei Jue looked conflicted. "The Emperor said that no matter how big or small the matter, I must report back to him."
Miss Mei wanting to take the Little Prince back to the Capital City was a major affair.
It absolutely couldn't be kept from the Emperor.
Mei Wanying raised an eyebrow. "Did he ever tell you that you were to be at my command?"
"Well... he did say that."
The Emperor had instructed him not only to protect Miss Mei and the Little Prince, but also to obey Miss Mei's commands.
All the personnel left behind in Jiangnan were at Miss Mei's disposal.
Miss Mei had a Token. In addition to the guards, she could mobilize other forces as well.
The Emperor held Miss Mei in very high regard.
