In the end, he indeed decides to just go to LianBi to report what he found out. After all, that was his mission and he succeeded in no time. They gave him less than 0 reasons to side with them rather than with LianBi, so why stay there to be treated like a sh*t? He is treated the same way at home, but at least he has LianBi there.

As soon as he sets a foot into the Palace, though, Tsever comes to him, saying that the Second Prince needs to see him urgently and before he goes to report to the Emperor.
He doesn't like the way it sounds, but the last he needs is even the Prince and his loyals to start to oppose him.
He follows Tsever to ChangMi's residence and walks inside, while the other doesn't join. The residence is totally empty except from the Prince, who looks terribly upset.
BangSul is still unsure how he should act with the children of LianBi, who has to respect who?
But before he'd decide, Qing literally drops himself on his knees at his feet. "Did you find him?"
He looks down at him, surprised by the question. Or maybe more surprised that Qing got so courageous to basically admit something very serious. Or does he actually trust him that much, more than LianBi?
"If you mean the escapists, ye, I've found them. I've come to report the success of the mission to Jeonha."
"Please don't..." implores Qing. "Please, spare him... save me..." he murmurs in a broken tone. "He will force him to tell, he will find out, what will be of me, then...?"
BangSul is caught totally unprepared by that. "Oh... why..." He covers his face with one hand and takes a breath.
Qing takes his other hand. "Please... what harm can come to anyone if they are just there on Earth...? They are gone, can't this matter just be gone too...? Abamama... please..."
He shuts his eyes. "I can't. But I will buy you some more time. Find a way to push any clue away from yourself... and if it is not enough, I will save you from his wrath..." He takes a breath. He can't really choose a side between his husband's or his step-children. "Mianhe."
"Gamsahamnida... please, be safe, abamama..."

After speaking to LianBi, convincing him to give him more time to make the escapists returns to Xhuanghen on their own, without risking to cause international troubles, he returns on Earth. Damn those 5 people in total that force him to remember he actually has a soul.
