The secret decree was sent urgently over a distance of eight hundred miles.
The reason was not elaborated.
But Martin had other sources of news. He had received news a few days ago that the emperor had caught a cold after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Now he is urgently summoned to the capital. Martin guesses that the emperor is seriously ill, so he plans to return to the capital separately with Lila.
Martin rode ahead at full speed, while Lila and the children packed their bags and walked slowly. They were afraid that if they hurried too fast, Lila and the children would not be able to bear it.
