Yaguba said earnestly:
"Shark's suggestion is to first go along with their wishes. The Empress wants to minimize the impact of this matter, worried that starting a battle in the Imperial Palace will make too much noise, so she patiently waits until the day the Whale's Mouth opens, first sending us to a neglected corner before finding a reason to strike.
"When that day comes, we'll use a Blinding Technique to deceive them, making them mistakenly believe we are trying to escape, thereby diverting their fighting force, and then we sneak into the Imperial Palace."
Li Qingping tilted his head.
"And then?"
"Then we enter the Imperial Palace, with the first objective being to obtain the White King's Staff, and the second to capture the Prince or the Empress... If we can't get the White King's Staff, or capture one of them, we'll launch the final plan, create chaos, and make a big enough scene that the whole court knows, embarrassing them."
