"Even so, it's possible they didn't expect us to capture this mirror spirit so quickly?" Dongfang Chenyuan pondered as he stroked his chin.
"That's a bit too risky."
Yu Nianzhao shook her head, "The simplest method is to have Huawu identify them."
"Is this mirror spirit truly helping us?" Emperor Anqing doubted Huawu's motives, especially since it was nearly her fault that the empress's soul couldn't return.
"She doesn't have the guts to deceive me," Yu Nianzhao said casually.
The empress agreed, "I believe what Zhaozhao says! Besides, Nanwang Country and our Great Chao Country have been at war for so many years, and now peace has finally been established. We mustn't disrupt this hard-won harmony over unfounded issues."
"If we really arrest Nan Guili, we might be falling into a trap."
Xie Jiuxiao said, "Perhaps they're waiting for us to fight each other, and then someone else will reap the benefits."
