Chapter 64: Breaking the Cocoon 7 “This gift is given to His Highness, wishing His Highness long-lasting happiness…
It was already afternoon when we returned to the capital. Since we didn't have to work today, everyone went home to rest.
In order to avoid Zhu Lingye, Zhu Song locked the door and went to sleep when he got home.
After waking up, Zhu Song opened his eyes and saw moonlight coming in through the gap in the window, falling on the table. It was already midnight.
Zhu Song got up, washed up carefully, took out all the clothes from the bottom of the box, and dressed for a long time before hurried out.
Zhu Song came to the gate of the East Palace. In order to hide from others, Zhu Song came to the familiar wall and climbed up. As a result, when he showed his head, he saw Wen Fengxuan sitting in the yard. There was a wine glass on the stone table in front of him. Everything seemed as if he had just seen it for the first time.
Perhaps hearing the voice, Wen Fengxuan looked up. When he saw Zhu Song, he quickly stood up and went to greet him, "Sir."
Zhu Song jumped down from the wall and asked, "Your Highness knows I'm coming?"
Wen Fengxuan replied: "I don't know."
"Then why are you here..." Zhu Song didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear.
Wen Fengxuan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I want you to come."
Zhu Song smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you going to pretend to be drunk to trick me again?"
Wen Fengxuan pursed his lips, looking a little aggrieved. "I was pretending, but I wasn't trying to trick you. What I said to you was all from the heart."
There was no point in dwelling on the past. Zhu Song changed the subject and took out the South China Sea Shark Pearl from his arms. "This is a gift to Your Highness. I wish you long-lasting happiness and peace, and a prosperous harvest."
Wen Fengxuan looked down at the South China Sea Mermaid Pearl in Zhu Song's hand, his eyes reddened, "Wait for me a moment." Then he turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhu Song stared at Wen Fengxuan's back as he disappeared in the moonlight. He waited for a long time but he still didn't come back. He didn't know how long he had to wait, so Zhu Song sat down where Wen Fengxuan had just sat. When he raised his eyes, he could see the place where he had just climbed over the wall. It was very conspicuous.
After waiting for about an incense stick of time, hurried footsteps were heard. Zhu Song turned around and saw Wen Fengxuan. He was holding something in his hand, but the moonlight was dim and he couldn't see clearly.
Zhu Song stood up, and Wen Fengxuan came over and handed him the thing in his hand. Zhu Song then saw clearly that it was a jade pendant made of mutton-fat white jade with a coiled dragon pattern carved on it. It was only used by the royal family.
Zhu Song quickly declined, "Your Highness, this is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
Wen Fengxuan tilted his head and looked at him, "You don't like it?"
Zhu Song quickly explained, "This is for the royal family to use only. If I accept it, I'm overstepping my bounds."
Wen Fengxuan's eyes were somewhat unpredictable. He paused as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. He just lowered his head and said, "Then I'll choose another one. What do you like?"
Zhu Song thought Wen Fengxuan must have misunderstood, so he explained, "I simply wanted to give it to Your Highness, not to exchange it with Him."
"Then I simply wanted to give it to you." Wen Fengxuan rummaged through his sleeves and finally pulled out a key. "The key to the East Palace storehouse. This is for you."
Zhu Song looked at the key in Wen Fengxuan's hand and then at Wen Fengxuan's face in disbelief, and was very sure that Wen Fengxuan was drunk.
"Your Highness, although it's not nice to say this, you are actually ill, right?"
Wen Fengxuan frowned slightly, with confusion in his eyes, "What do you mean?"
Zhu Song spoke frankly, "You are very different now than usual."
Wen Fengxuan laughed, "Don't you feel like you've overstepped your bounds now?"
"A little bit." Zhu Song smiled happily along with him.
Wen Fengxuan spread out his hands, "Then choose the one you like."
"Really, it's not necessary." Zhu Song looked at the object in Wen Fengxuan's hand and took a step back. Wen Fengxuan took a step forward and said, "How can you give something like this unilaterally?"
What's going on? Zhu Song didn't understand what he meant at all. He had wanted to ask what the note meant, but now he probably couldn't ask clearly, so he said, "Your Highness, you are really drunk. Go back and rest quickly. I'm leaving now."
Zhu Song bowed, turned around and ran away.
"Blessings."
Wen Fengxuan called out to him from behind. Zhu Song turned around and saw a mutton-fat jade pendant flying towards him. Zhu Song quickly caught it. Wen Fengxuan said, "I think this one is the most suitable."
Top-grade mutton-fat jade remains warm year-round. Zhu Song accepted it and there was absolutely no reason to return it, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Wen Fengxuan smiled gently in the moonlight, "Next time, go through the door."
Zhu Song replied honestly: "Maybe not in the near future."
As if thinking of his own situation, the smile on Wen Fengxuan's face faded, and then he asked again: "Will you come again?"
Zhu Song said, "It shouldn't happen recently. It's best to be cautious in these troubled times. Your Highness doesn't need to wait for me."
The smile on Wen Fengxuan's face completely disappeared, and he responded, "Okay."
"I'm leaving."
"good."
The gaze behind him was as real as a substance. Zhu Song turned back to meet Wen Fengxuan's gaze, feeling reluctant to leave. "Your Highness, you must take care of yourself and eat more."
Wen Fengxuan replied gently, "You too."
"Okay." Zhu Song responded, turned around, jumped onto the wall and left.
After landing on the ground, Zhu Song looked back, but saw only the dense palace walls, but no beauty.
Wen Fengxuan sat down again on the other side of the palace wall, holding the South Sea Mermaid Pearl in his palm. The South Sea Mermaid Pearl glowed with a faint orchid light under the moonlight. Wen Fengxuan's lips curled up slightly as he murmured softly, "So this is what my token of love looks like."
Time passed quietly and winter came in the blink of an eye. After two months of treatment, Zhu Song's hand finally healed.
This year's snow arrived late, with the first snowfall occurring after the Minor Cold. Every year, the palace holds a snow-viewing banquet, and this year was no exception. With both the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine gone, this year's banquet was hosted by the Concubine Shu, the mother of the virtuous prince.
The Snow Appreciation Banquet was scheduled for the 29th day of the 12th lunar month, and the wives of court officials and the children of aristocratic families were invited to attend. It was an annual banquet, and he had not felt anything when celebrating in the past, but this year he was particularly worried, for no other reason than that Wen Fengxuan was also going.
After returning from the autumn hunt, Wen Fengxuan still took sick leave and stayed in the Eastern Palace. A few days ago, Qin Shidong personally went to give Wen Fengxuan an invitation to the snow viewing banquet. Qin Shidong's going represented the intention of Emperor Liang, and Wen Fengxuan had to go.
Zhu Song knew that there would definitely be trouble at this snow-viewing banquet, so on the day of the banquet, he kept staring at Wen Fengxuan, and the farthest he was from him was no more than three meters away. Although in order to conceal their presence, the two did not even say hello to each other.
The venue for the Snow Appreciation Banquet remains the same every year: the Red Plum Garden. This season is when the red plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the white snow overshadows the red plum blossoms, creating a breathtaking beauty with hints of crimson against the vast expanse of white.
The most important thing about the Snow Viewing Banquet is the banquet. In the main hall of Hongmei Garden, the underground heating was burning vigorously, and the heat was abundant. It was as warm as spring, without a trace of chill.
The Snow Viewing Banquet is not as solemn as the palace banquet. All the attendees sit in the main hall, eating snacks and drinking fine wine. Familiar friends sit together and chat, enjoying the beautiful scenery through the clear windows. It is comfortable and pleasant. Those who are not afraid of the cold can also go outside to watch.
There are so many female relatives that there is always endless talk. The hall is very lively and everyone talks about food, clothing, housing and transportation, from matchmaking to how to raise children.
In previous years, Zhu Song was also keen on chatting, but today he didn't say much except for the necessary greetings.
Concubine Shu stepped forward to speak to him, "Master Zhu, I'm not in a good mood."
Zhu Song quickly stood up and said with a bow, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, Madam Shufei. I drank a couple of glasses too much and I feel a little dizzy."
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Master Zhu is not young anymore, is there a girl you like?"
Zhu Song pretended to be distressed, "The Red Luan Star remains motionless. My mother is almost dying of worry."
Concubine Shu said, "There is a young lady named Jiaojiao in my family who has long admired Master Zhu. Master Zhu, would you be so kind as to invite her to sit with you?"
At this moment, Zhu Song caught a glimpse of a palace maid spilling soup on Wen Fengxuan when she was serving the dishes. Wen Fengxuan got up to change his clothes.
Zhu Song's heart sank, but he remained calm as he dealt with Concubine Shu. "I drank too much today and I'm afraid I might have offended you, young lady. I'll dress up and sit here some other day."
Concubine Shu jokingly said, "Master Zhu is a handsome man with a great reputation. If he dresses up, he will outshine all the other girls."
She praised him, "Your Highness, your compliments are too kind."
Concubine Shu did not force him, but simply asked, "How about the day after tomorrow?"
Zhu Song was now worried about Wen Fengxuan, so he agreed, "Your Majesty, please make the decision. I will be there anytime."
Seeing him so straightforward, Concubine Shu was also happy, "Okay, I'll talk to your mother."
Zhu Song wished she would leave quickly, "Yeah."
After Concubine Shu left, Zhu Song accidentally brushed the wine pot with his sleeve when he sat down, and the pot fell on him. He immediately stood up again, pretending to tidy up his clothes, and hurried out the door.
The wind outside was bitingly cold, and Zhu Song shivered. He looked up and around. Fortunately, the palaces in Hongmei Garden were lined up in a row and were very spacious. He saw Wen Fengxuan in the distance at a glance, and he hurriedly chased after him.
It was freezing cold and there was basically no one outside. When they arrived at Nongmei Pavilion where Wen Fengxuan was, they saw a palace maid hurried back. Zhu Song recognized that this was the palace maid who had just brought Wen Fengxuan out, so he quickly hid behind a pillar and waited until the palace maid passed by before he hurriedly pushed open the door of the room where the palace maid had just come out.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Zhu Song was stunned. He saw Wen Fengxuan sitting on a chair with an indifferent face, and a palace maid in cool clothes was kneeling in the room.
The incense in the room was very strong. Zhu Song took a deep breath, and his head felt a little dizzy. He stumbled into the room and happened to bump into a palace maid. The moment the palace maid fell to the ground, Zhu Song knocked her unconscious with a knife.
The maid fell limply to the ground. Zhu Song then turned back to close the door and asked, "What's going on?"
Wen Fengxuan said: "They drugged me."
It was the same trick again. Zhu Song asked anxiously, "How are you?"
Wen Fengxuan said: "It's okay."
Zhu Song didn't quite believe it, "Really?"
Wen Fengxuan nodded. "I've taken more medicine than I've eaten since I was a child. They gave me a light dose, so I didn't feel anything."
Zhu Song murmured softly, "You don't feel it, but I do."
His voice was too soft for Wen Fengxuan to hear clearly, "What?"
Zhu Song pulled him out and said, "I've been hit, let's go quickly."
Wen Fengxuan frowned, "Have you been infected?"
Zhu Song gritted his teeth and said, "There's something wrong with the incense in this room. I haven't taken much medicine since I was a child, so I can't handle it."
Wen Fengxuan frowned, "What are you going to do when you get out?"
Zhu Song said, "Go find the imperial physician and get the antidote."
Wen Fengxuan urged, "Then go quickly."
Zhu Song asked him, "What about you?"
Wen Fengxuan shook his head slightly, "It's not worth it to leave like this."
Zhu Song understood what he meant. If this matter was made a big deal, it would be harmful rather than beneficial to Concubine Shu, so he gritted his teeth and sat down, "It's really not worth it." Since he had already suffered such a hardship, he must make a big deal about it.
Wen Fengxuan was worried about him, "Can you hold on? Why don't you..."
Zhu Song quickly extended his hand, "I can hold on, don't think too much."
"I didn't think much of it. We haven't seen each other for two months and twenty-seven days. Could you please sit closer?"
Zhu Song shook his head, "That's good."
Wen Fengxuan stretched out his hand as if to pull him, but Zhu Song dodged it, "Don't pull, the clothes can't be wrinkled."
Wen Fengxuan stared at Zhu Song without saying anything. Zhu Song followed his gaze and covered his mouth. "You can't kiss me, my mouth can't get swollen."
"oh."
"Your Majesty, I saw the prince break into Xiao Cui's room, and I heard crying coming from the room. Please save Xiao Cui." A palace maid came hurriedly and knelt in front of Concubine Shu. Her voice was so loud that it drowned out the voices of everyone else in the hall.
The hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Xiao Cui. Some female members even covered their mouths in shock.
Concubine Shu was furious. "It's outrageous! How dare you force a palace maid in broad daylight? Lead the way."
"yes."
There were a lot of people watching the fun, and basically everyone present followed suit. It was a huge crowd.
"My lady, this is it."
"Kick the door."
The guard kicked open the door and was stunned when he saw the scene inside the room. He quickly stepped aside, revealing the scene inside the room.
I saw a palace maid lying on the ground motionless, and Zhu Song was sitting on a chair not far away, leaning on the table with his hands on his temples, looking listless.
Meng Xiaohe screamed and rushed in first, "Ah, son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Concubine Shu and Prince Xian were also confused. They looked at each other, both puzzled.
Zhu Song opened his eyes when he heard Meng Xiaohe's voice and shouted, "Mother." Then he pointed at the palace maid on the ground and said, "Someone wants to harm me. This palace maid wants to kill me."
The blessing was so loud that everyone outside the door gasped.
Meng Xiaohe's eyes turned red after hearing this, and she quickly asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Zhu Song shook his head. "Although she gave me a muscle softening powder, I was on guard and knocked her out before she could do anything."
Hearing this, Meng Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the virtuous king with righteous indignation, "Your Highness, my son has suffered so much. Please give him justice."
"What happened?" A puzzled voice came from the inner room. Then Wen Fengxuan appeared in everyone's sight. Zhu Song stood up suddenly when he saw him. "Prince? Why are you here?"
Wen Fengxuan explained, "A palace maid spilled noodle soup on my clothes, so I came here to change." Then he asked, "Why is Master Zhu here?"
Zhu Song replied, "The wine has been spilled. Come here to change clothes."
The virtuous prince and the virtuous concubine stared at the two men with frowns and gloomy expressions.
The virtuous king could only agree, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Lord Zhu an explanation."
Meng Xiaohe persisted, "Although this incident occurred in the harem, the victim was a court official. It should be investigated by the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple."
The virtuous king looked at Zhu Song, who quickly said, "Mother, I'm drunk and my mind is a little unclear. I must have made a mistake. She didn't come to assassinate me. It was a misunderstanding. Let's just let it go."
Meng Xiaohe refused to give up, "No, I've already taken the soft muscle powder, how could it be a misunderstanding?"
Zhu Song was extremely anxious, "Mom, I already said it was a misunderstanding."
"That won't work either."
Concubine Shu tried to smooth things over, saying, "Since it's just a misunderstanding, just talk it out and don't spoil the fun."
Zhu Song said: "Yes, mother..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard someone outside shouting, "Doctor Li is here, make way, make way."
The Concubine Shu and the Prince Xian looked unhappy, but they couldn't stop the inspection now, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
Despite Zhu Song's fake attempt to stop him, Doctor Li quickly finished checking the incense in the room. "It's an aphrodisiac incense."
"Ah." Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. This method was the most despicable.
Zhu Song angrily asked, "What?"
Upon seeing this, the virtuous prince quickly stepped forward to appease him, "Perhaps the maid accidentally ordered the wrong one. I hope your Excellency is not hurt."
Zhu Song turned off the engine and said, "Yeah."
Concubine Shu took the opportunity to speak, "Come here, drag this careless maid out and give her twenty lashes as a warning to others."
"Yes." The guards stepped forward and pulled the palace maid out.
Concubine Shu comforted Zhu Song, "It's my fault for not disciplining him properly, and I frightened Master Zhu."
Zhu Song said: "The servants were not careful in their work, how can you blame the queen?"
The virtuous king asked, "Is Lord Zhu feeling unwell? Why don't you go back and rest first?"
Zhu Song declined politely, "It's alright. It's so rare to see such a beautiful view. Wouldn't it be a waste to go back so early?"
Concubine Shu dismissed the crowd, "It was just a misunderstanding, everyone please continue enjoying the scenery."
At the same time, the palace maids also heard about this matter. All the palace maids and eunuchs from the six palaces were summoned to today's gathering. There were so many people that they gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
"Empress Shu went to catch an adulterer? Who did she catch?"
Someone who had returned from the scene said, "It seems to be the Crown Prince and Lord Zhu."
"Which Lord Zhu?"
"Master Zhusongzhu."
"Oh my God."
This exciting news spread quickly like a dandelion blown open.
At that time, the two protagonists of the rumor were enjoying the scenery in the Red Plum Garden. Although they were a hundred meters apart, they were in the same place and could be considered to be enjoying the scenery together.
The afternoon sun was just right, the warm sunlight filtering through the gaps between the trees, casting sparse shadows horizontally and slantingly, with tiny specks of dust floating and surging in the golden light, which was incredibly beautiful.
Zhu Song felt hot all over and a little too excited. He leaned against a tree trunk, and snow fell on his neck, feeling cool and comfortable.
□□Xing came over with a smile and patted his shoulder, "Brother Song, it's okay."
Zhu Song raised his eyes to look at him, "What?"
□□ Star God was mysterious, "I won't tell you, it's a big secret."
Zhu Song was just worried about having no one to give him orders when he happened to come over and hooked his finger at him, "I have a big secret too."
□□Xing came closer curiously, and Zhu Song whispered in his ear, "See that tree?"
□□Xing looked up at him and followed his gaze. "I see."
Zhu Song said, "Go check and see if there is anything mysterious."
□□Xing replied, "That tree has a strange fragrance."
"Um?"
Zhu Song was surprised that he actually knew that. □□ Xing explained, "I just came from there and smelled it."
Zhu Song shook his head, "There must be something else, take a closer look."
If that were the case, Wen Fengxuan would not have been able to keep staring at the tree.
"Okay."
□□ Xing moved quickly and left as soon as he finished speaking. At this moment, Zhu Song noticed that Wen Fengxuan had shifted his gaze and was no longer looking at the tree. Not far away, a little palace maid was staring at the tree and walking towards it.
Zhu Song stared at the little palace maid. The little palace maid noticed his gaze and stopped in her tracks. In just a moment, □□xing had already reached the tree.
Zhu Song turned and met Wen Fengxuan's gaze. He frowned slightly, a look of worry on his face. Suddenly, □□ Xing yelled, "What the hell is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Fengxuan, who had been fine all this time, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the snow-white ground and was extremely conspicuous. Zhu Song was anxious and wanted to go over immediately, but Wen Fengxuan shook his head slightly at him, so Zhu Song stopped and walked towards □□xing.
Someone here was shouting, "Oh no! The prince is vomiting blood."
Someone over there was yelling, "Oh no! It's a voodoo doll."
The scene was in chaos. Wen Fengxuan was sent away urgently. Zhu Song went over and saw that the thing still on the ground was indeed a voodoo doll. The strange doll exuded a strange fragrance. Its body was full of black copper nails and wrapped with red silk threads. There was a note stuck on its back, but it was not visible.
Everyone present was frightened. No one wanted to get involved with something like this, so no one moved. Only Zhu Song stepped forward, but Meng Xiaohe held him back, "No."
Zhu Song patted her hand. Although Meng Xiaohe was worried, she let go of her hand.
Zhu Song went forward and picked up the voodoo doll. He looked at the talisman on the back and saw the eight characters of Wen Fengxuan's birth date written on it.
The voodoo doll is placed in a hollowed-out tree hole, and the bark is pasted back on tightly. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see any traces, or the bark will grow back over time, and the doll will never see the light of day again.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Qin Shidong's voice rang out, and everyone came forward to see him.
Emperor Liang's hair had turned completely white. He sat in the sedan chair and asked in a weak voice, "What happened?"
Zhu Song stepped forward with the voodoo doll and replied, "Your Majesty, someone is practicing voodoo in the palace and intends to murder the Crown Prince."
Emperor Liang frowned, "Zhu Song, come with me. The rest of you, please disperse."
Zhu Song responded, "Yes."
Zhu Song handed the voodoo doll to Gu Huaiyu and followed Emperor Liang into the room.
Emperor Liang was in poor health and could not even sit still. He could only lean back on the chair. He stared at Zhu Song and asked, "Who do you think did this?"
Zhu Song bowed and replied, "Without evidence, I dare not speak without reason."
Emperor Liang said, "It was done by the Crown Prince."
Zhu Song's heartbeat stopped. He looked up at Emperor Liang in shock, "The Crown Prince cursed himself?"
Emperor Liang said, "This could only have been done by the Crown Prince."
Zhu Song frowned, very confused, and said with a folded hand, "I do not understand what Your Majesty means. Please explain clearly."
Emperor Liang sighed, "I am old, and I don't have many days left. With so much power in my hands, I can't even depose the Crown Prince. Why would I go to such great lengths?"
Zhu Song said: "Your Majesty is only temporarily ill and will definitely get better."
Emperor Liang shook his head. "Don't lie to me. I know my own health. Are you still unmarried?"
Zhu Song replied, "Yes, I am not married yet."
Emperor Liang said, "The girls of the Jiang family are all very good-looking and kind-hearted, and they are worthy of you."
Zhu Song said, "I have never met the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Her Highness the Concubine also mentioned this matter today, but I think marriage is a matter that needs to be handled with caution. Your Majesty, please take good care of your health. Once you have recovered, I will definitely ask for your permission to grant us marriage."
Emperor Liang waved his hand and said, "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, so don't try to beat around the bush with me. Do you know why we're coming to the Northern Desert?"
Zhusong said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Emperor Liang said, "I want you to assist the virtuous king with all your heart."
Although Zhu Song already knew this, he still felt heartbroken for Wen Fengxuan when he heard it from Emperor Liang himself.
Emperor Liang continued, "You have a strong character and are very clear about what you love and hate. The children of the aristocratic families are all on good terms with you, but your Zhu family is still not considered a prominent family in the capital. If you seize this opportunity, your Zhu family will also soar to the sky with you."
Emperor Liang had already said this, and Zhu Song asked the question in his heart, "Your Majesty only needs an imperial decree, why go to such great lengths?"
Zhu Song couldn't understand why Wen Fengxuan had to be removed from office just for the issue of a succession decree?
Emperor Liang said, "As long as the Crown Prince is not deposed, the virtuous king will ultimately be unjust and unjust."
It turns out that not only does one have to get to the top, but one also has to get to the top with legitimacy and make everyone convinced.
Oh.
That's ridiculous.
Zhu Song felt a chill in his heart, but he bowed respectfully and said, "I agree to marry the daughter of the Jiang family."
Emperor Liang nodded approvingly, "You are a good child. I was not wrong about you."
Zhu Song replied, "When I was young, I loved to play and caused many troubles in the palace, but Your Majesty never reprimanded me. To be honest, Your Majesty is like my own father. I will accept any arrangements Your Majesty makes."
Emperor Liang said again, "Good boy."
Zhu Song continued, "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and I have been unable to sleep or eat. I had previously wanted to recommend the Ghost Valley Divine Doctor Su Li to Your Majesty, but Su Li's background is unknown, and I was uneasy. Hearing Your Majesty's words today, I am deeply distressed, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to meet Su Li. If I am wrong, I am willing to die as an apology."
Emperor Liang was quite delighted, "Did you find Su Li?"
Zhu Song replied, "I just found it the day before yesterday."
Emperor Liang said, "Bring him into the palace."
Zhu Song said: "Su Li is still on her way to Beijing. She will arrive late at night. Tomorrow morning..."
Emperor Liang said, "No, no matter how late it is, I want to see him sooner."
Zhu Song bowed and said, "Yes, then I will go back early to prepare."
Emperor Liang nodded and said, "I leave the matter of witchcraft and sorcery entirely to you."
Zhu Song responded emphatically, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Emperor Liang showed appreciation and said, "Go ahead."
"I'll take my leave."
