Ji Changsheng and Li Huanyan, along with guidance from Empress Nuwa, had essentially worked out the truth of the matter.
Li Huanyan lamented: "Changsheng, as I said, Zhen Wu is a formidable character. His recognition toward King Yuqing might be far greater than his recognition toward you."
The truth they gleaned was due to the greater amount of information they understood.
Zhen Wu didn't know that the King Yuqing of the past was Ji Changsheng.
Therefore, the sincerity of Zhen Wu's words in Empress Nuwa's Palace is worth questioning.
But Ji Changsheng laughed, "It doesn't matter. I'm not intending to be enemies with him or Heavenly King Yuan Shi. My mother's enemies are my enemies, the prime targets I must defeat are Primordial Monarch Doumu and Zi Wei. As for Zhen Wu and Yuan Shi, it would be as effective if they could become allies. Mum, you're not thinking of beating up Yuan Shi, are you?"
Empress Nuwa lovingly stroked her "filial son" on the head.
