Song Hong acted out of an overwhelming emotion for a moment and couldn't help but cry out. Now, with Gu Changqing's reminder, he quickly came to his senses.
He took a deep breath: "So, what should we do?"
Gu Changqing pondered and said, "I've always had suspicions in my heart, and once, when my mother was sick at home, I took the opportunity to subtly inquire about His Majesty's health from Director Du when he visited. Director Du has always been tight-lipped and didn't reveal a thing, only saying that His Majesty is healthy."
"You know, it's a grave crime for a subject to pry into the sovereign's health. I couldn't ask much more. Fortunately, from what I've seen in the Imperial Court every day, His Majesty looks fine, so I dared not think much of it. If Lord Qin hadn't sent me this letter, I probably wouldn't have thought much of it either."
