It's all about merit, isn't it? The predecessors plant the trees, and the later generations enjoy the shade. The Vajrayana and the High Monk have laid a solid foundation for the Believers, and if done right, this can be repaid to those Skulls.
Misha, you just need to use some methods to make the Wooden Fish Skull resonate in front of the local Believers for a while. Once Vajrayana manifests, this merit will surely flow continuously to the Skulls.
Misha laughed after hearing this. "That's a good idea, Shopkeeper. I might need to extend my vacation."
"Go ahead and send them off for us."
Sang Qingxiao tried once more to extract memories from the Skull but felt no resistance. After watching Misha and Li Cu leave, night fell, and Qi Shuo approached.
Sang Qingxiao first asked about Yuanhui's situation. "Has there been any resolution?"
Qi Shuo frowned. "The Grand Temple has intervened. His Majesty is furious; the Empress's family has been stripped of their titles and positions. Some people from the Dragon Guard have been punished, and even Cai has faced repercussions."
Sang Qingxiao scoffed. "He made that decision himself. Cai Zhuo even tried to dissuade him. Now he’s just looking for someone to vent his anger on. It seems these recent events have greatly affected Xuande Emperor."
Qi Shuo continued, "When Xuande Emperor learned of Vajrayana's treatment of the girl, he insisted on skinning Yuanhui alive and stripping her bones."
From the perspective of the delicate relationship between the court and Puzhao Temple, this action is highly inappropriate. Any handling of Yuanhui should be communicated with Puzhao Temple first.
Qi Shuo nodded. "The Two Lords said the same thing. They also mentioned that if this were to leak into the public, it would cause widespread panic among the people."
Yet His Majesty insists on this course of action, claiming that if it can't be hidden, it's because the Court Officials are ineffective. He doesn't mind replacing them; after all, he's already tired of them.
Qi Shuo paused for a moment before adding, "Miss Sang, this series of events will have a profound impact on His Majesty—it's nothing short of revolutionary. His decree has shocked much of the court, yet not a single member of The Entire Court of Civil and Military Officials dares to step forward."
"Ah, a bunch of old foxes."
"Miss Sang, His Majesty wasn't like this before. I'm worried about my family’s Marquis."
"What else has happened over there?"
"The Third Prince's unrest is just one issue; wherever he goes, officials cooperate very little. The Marquis has resorted to forceful suppression, wielding the Emperor's sword and executing many without prior notice. This factional conflict naturally offends some in the Court."
"In recent days, most impeachment petitions have targeted my family’s Marquis. The Two Lords have worked hard to obstruct many of them, but some still made it to His Majesty's desk."
"I've sensed that His Majesty's expression was not good; even when he later saw the Marquis' delayed explanation, his expression didn't change much at all. He didn’t utter a single word in defense."
After understanding the situation, Sang Qingxiao laughed and said, "Your Marquis has always been paving a way out; you know that too, right? Since you know this, why worry so much?"
"The worst outcome would be that the Court issues a decree against him while your Marquis has already slipped away to live a carefree life."
"I just can't accept it! My Marquis is a towering hero who deserves everyone's respect; he shouldn't end up like this—looking disheveled and fleeing in disgrace!"
Sang Qingxiao chuckled. "Would you dare say those words in front of your Marquis?"
With a stern expression, Qi Shuo rarely showed a faint smile. What was there to be afraid of? It was just a matter of increasing the training load several times. Sometimes, it was truly unbearable to keep it all inside.
