Lie Ming first returned to his residence in the Capital.
In the Second Imperial Prince's name, he requested travel permits and documents authorizing his departure from Great Xia from the Imperial Court.
That way, if the matter came to light later, Great Xia would not be implicated.
When the documents arrived, he was performing rites for A Qian and A Qi.
After learning of A Qian's wish, Lie Ming burned plenty of gold paper ingots for him, hoping he could use them to grease the wheels in the underworld.
And fulfill his wish.
