Zhao Yao decided to return to the capital; it was impossible to set out without any preparation. Ever since meeting the envoy from Prince Chu, he had begun preparing for everything needed for his return to the capital.
Before returning to the capital, Zhao Yao had to arrange all the matters in the Swamp Prefecture. The big and small affairs of the Lingnan Court were still mainly handled by the cabinet. This time, Zhao Yao did not delegate the decision-making power over major matters to He Lianfang. If foreign states misbehaved and disturbed Lingnan, Chu Ying and the others were to make the decisions.
Zhao Yao's preparations to return to the capital were not insignificant, so it was impossible for He Lianfang, who lived next door, not to notice.
