Li Sheng wanted to meet, so Sang Qingxiao went. Qi Shuo kindly closed the door, allowing them some privacy.
Sang Qingxiao did not speak first. Li Sheng smiled and said, "Xiao Shisan, you've grown up, become beautiful, and gained some weight."
Xiao Shisan was what Sang Bai Jue called her in Exile Land. Her surname was Sang, and she was the thirteenth in the Sang Family's ranking. No one outside knew this, so she was indeed someone from Sang Bai Jue's circle.
Li Sheng continued, "In Jingjing City, you’ve done very well. He is proud of you and hopes you will continue. The pace of progress doesn’t matter; the child must experience life."
"Has Sang Bai Jue come out?"
There was no place that could keep him confined. Initially, it had been somewhat difficult, but now it was no longer a problem. However, he generally preferred not to come out; he found the outside world too complicated and preferred the cleanliness of being inside.
The recent chaos in the city was all caused by him?
He merely stirred up the muddy waters at the bottom of the city; the mud was too thick and blocked the entrances and exits, turning a stream of fresh water into a stinking ditch.
The dark forces in Jingjing City were complex. Wasn’t it a good opportunity to eliminate some undesirable elements?
So he designed the Mushroom Poison to kill the emperor and orchestrated the Crowd of Crows attack?
No, he did not participate in the design; he merely offered a few subtle reminders and cleverly connected several factions, making them mistakenly believe they were united. They then rushed into action without lacking strength, brains, or manpower.
But innocent people died—many innocent civilians.
He felt sorrowful too, but which place devoid of conflict had no casualties? Once the Court eradicated these forces, it would serve as an explanation for them.
An explanation? Ha! What good is an explanation when people are dead?
Seeing Sang Qingxiao's sarcastic expression, Li Sheng sighed. "In great matters, one must not think like a woman. Overall, this situation is still beneficial for the Great Jing Dynasty."
Beneficial? What does Sang Bai Jue consider great?
Li Sheng's thoughts were beyond someone like me to guess; he would never tell me. I only needed to maintain a heart of reverence and follow his instructions.
Sang Qingxiao continued to ask, "You just mentioned dark forces. Besides spies from various countries and inexplicably appearing cults, what else is there?"
"There are also remnants from the previous dynasty."
"Is it related to the Last Emperor? Did he deliberately expose the Imperial Tomb to tell us that he is not dead? Not only is he alive, but he also has descendants with Qin Xiaoxiao? Are these remnants his descendants?"
"Exactly. The Last Emperor is not dead. He is a capable and ambitious ruler but has been unable to exert his power due to the current situation."
"In his last year as emperor, there were signs of rebellion everywhere in the country. Faced with internal troubles and external threats, he found himself powerless and unwilling to be that ruler. He even entertained light thoughts but was dissuaded by Qin Xiaoxiao."
Qin Xiaoxiao told him that if there was no hope for salvation, then they should let those with the ability completely overthrow the current regime and rebuild from the ruins. As long as the barbarians were kept from trampling their land and the common people could live good lives, it didn't matter who became the Monarch.
