Su Xinyi immediately thought of Li Ji, the son most cherished and valued by Empress Dowager Li. It was possible that Li Ji had been privy to some secret and in turn mentioned it to his wife.
Li Ji was indeed the true successor to Empress Dowager Li's wisdom. If it weren't for his complacent and arrogant attitude exploiting his position in the Salt Administration, he would not have given others a handle against him.
Therefore, such a cunning man as Li Ji would definitely have considered his own children before his exile. Perhaps this was the very life-saving strategy Li Ji had passed on to First Mrs. Li.
Su Xinyi merely thought this but, having no evidence, she did not bring it up to Zhu Chanyi or Tu Jingjia, simply saying, "Since that's the case, we'll just wait and see what happens. It probably won't be too long."
Tu Jingjia nodded, then added, "The Li Family's issue could be big or small, all depends on how Your Majesty decides to handle it."
