"Hey? You're back? It's not easy to get a chance to go out and breathe some fresh air. I thought you would take some time to contact your friends and come back later."
"I did plan to come back later, but since last night, I've felt a strange heaviness in my heart. I knew it wasn't my own issue; something must have happened to you, so I hurried back to check on you."
"Come on, tell me what's going on with you, my dear friend."
"There's really nothing much."
Sang Qingxiao conveyed the conversation between him and Li Sheng to Old Vine.
Old Vine sighed, "Li Sheng is a loyal man, while Sang Jue is cunning. However, I agree that the throne should be held by someone capable. With the Xuande Emperor having no successor, the problems will eventually surface. The current situation is merely Sang Jue setting off the fuse early."
"It doesn't matter to us whether the Xuande Emperor lives or dies. After he dies, who takes over won't concern us either. When chaos truly erupts, we can just move far away and live wherever we want."
Sang Qingxiao chuckled at him, "You only know how to run away."
"Are you coming with me?"
Sang Qingxiao paused for a moment. "By then, Sang Jue and Qi Xiaomian, along with officials we know from the Court, will be in opposition. Just thinking about it gives me a headache; I don't know who to help. So why not help none of them? Let them stir up trouble while we live our lives like those years when we wandered outside—running a small tavern, catching monsters, and enjoying our little lives."
"I'm just afraid things won't go as planned," Old Vine muttered inwardly.
Sang Qingxiao asked him, "How's Misha doing?"
Old Vine replied proudly, "My idea was indeed practical. Once Muyu was released, families came out to sit on the ground and recite scriptures; they absorbed quite a bit of virtue. But since there are many Muyu, it will take some time. Misha will need a few more days before he can return."
"Did he tell his father about it?"
"He did. After hearing it, he showed no expression, but Li Cu cursed a lot beside him."
Misha said that if that person came to see him, he would meet him just once; only by meeting could he settle the debt of gratitude. If that person wanted to kill him, he would fight back—who knows who would win?
In prison, Li Sheng had indeed revealed quite a bit. Every detail stood up to scrutiny; even later on, he didn't treat Qi Shuo as an outsider and taught him how to catch things—how to catch them and when was the best time.
Such meticulous teaching made Qi Shuo feel uncomfortable; being taught by a prisoner was something only he experienced in the whole world.
Qi Shuo was reluctant to follow his instructions; however, Li Sheng's strategies were too compelling. Just as he hesitated...
Li Sheng suddenly said, "If we don't act now, when will we? Are you really planning to wait until your Marquis returns before making a move?"
Your family’s Marquis is currently in a dire situation, so how can he possibly manage the affairs of the Court? Besides, even if you can wait, you don’t know what kind of Yongxin Marquis you will be waiting for.
Qi Shuo grabbed him by the collar and asked sternly, "What do you mean by that?"
"You have your husband here threatening me; it would be better to resolve this matter quickly so you can lend a hand to your Marquis. If you delay, it may be too late."
When Qi Shuo pressed further, Li Sheng refused to say anything more.
"If I can't get answers from you, then I’ll have Miss Sang come and ask."
All I can say is that your Marquis will suffer some hardships, but his life will not be in danger.
