Oh a quick Tgcf question: Anle is described as being not just from Xianle, but from the royal lineage (unless I got it wrong and he’s from a noble family disparate of the imperial family), so where did he come from? I don’t think either Qi Rong (son of the empress’ sister) or Xie Lian had siblings, so did the emperor have any siblings with any children? Unless it is that Qi Rong had children of his own and colluded with his descendant but I don’t think any of could ever be true…
Also when did Qi Rong die originally? How old was he? I thought he was supposed to only be a couple of years younger than Xie Lian but the flashback makes him look a lot smaller.
The punishment I used on the criminals in the Ministry of Justice was somehow lacking. I heard that Official Ren has a knack for corporal punishment. Hence, I want to seek her advice.
I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I want to apply medicine for you. I don't know what kind of poison was applied to the arrow. If medicine is not applied in time, I'm afraid this arm will be useless in the future. Please be dignified. We're in public. I'll do it myself.
