"Given the Emperor's temperament, even if Master Yuchang personally pleaded on our behalf, it is likely he would just give a perfunctory response," Master Yuchang sighed. "I've heard that the Heng Commandery Prince is quite fond of Li Yao, and he still holds some influence in front of His Majesty. If he could intervene, there might still be a chance."
"Ultimately, the Heng Commandery Prince is a junior; we must ask a more venerable and respected Prince from the Imperial Household to step forward."
"Rather than that, it might be better to seek help from the Azure Dragon Old Ancestor again, after all, the Old Ancestor from Ding Xuan had a good relationship with the Azure Dragon Old Ancestor in his day."
"That connection is too old and too distant, especially since in recent millennia, our Wang family has become quite distant from the Azure Dragon Old Ancestor."
