"Consort Jing probably never dreamed that things would go this way."
Even Jun Yuyan couldn't help but sigh.
Murong Jiu laughed and said, "Our Consort Jing expects too much. Her life has been too smooth, so she's become arrogant."
She arrogantly believed that Master Mei would remain unmarried for her, and that he would definitely agree to help her and The Third Prince.
"Husband, what shall we do then?"
"Naturally, we agree to it and lend him our support."
What Master Mei asked for was simple: he just hoped to protect every member of the troupe but not himself.
He was willing to go to his death in order to drag Consort Jing down with him.
However, since he was prepared to go to that extent, Jun Yuyan thought about doing his best to save him too, leaving the Emperor to focus on punishing only Consort Jing.
Master Mei had taken Consort Jing's plan and made another plan out of it.
He and Murong Jiu were discussing it together, perfecting the plan.
In the palace.
