Lin Qingyuan quickly brushed his hand off of her. "I know. I was just thinking aloud."
"You're not allowed to even joke about it." Long Xuan warned her. If such words reached his Royal Uncle's ears, he would end up in a rage.
"I know." Lin Qingyuan knew how serious this was.

The envoys from Southern Xinjiang were unhappy with Princess Man Li's murder at the hands of Chu Qi after they had calmed down. They submitted a complaint to Long Yang.
Long Yin had informed Long Yang about Man Li's death before the envoys had entered the Palace.
That was why Long Yang already knew the details.
"Do you think that Princess Man Li should not have been killed?" He sat behind the imperial table, marking the Palace Memorials. He shot them a grim glance.
The Southern Xinjiang envoy was initially full of rage, but the Emperor's gaze instantly made them cower.
