Looking back, perhaps he was too reckless that night at Liushang Pavilion; he shouldn't have so easily tested his father's trust in Jingyan.
This has led to Jingyan and Jingshuo now being on the same team, and it's unclear what Jingyan sent Jingshuo out to do.
“Mother, Yongshou Palace has no one to care for her, and she is completely alone. She is the Empress Dowager’s wife, and Father is filial and will surely take good care of her.”
