In the elegant room, Yu Changkong reminded Qi Qian, "Prince Zhao is a narrow-minded person who holds grudges and is difficult to get along with. Though he is foolish, Yu Boyin has been by his side for several years and may have schemed up some background. As I've said before, you must not be without people around you and should pay attention to those plots and intrigues you used to dismiss. Never underestimate trivial matters, as details determine success or failure, and an entire dyke could be breached by an ant nest."
Qi Qian said, "I understand, his gaze just now was as if he wanted to devour me. The fact that he values me—should I consider myself honored or not?"
Yu Changkong replied, "If they knew who is truly behind you, they would certainly attack in droves."
The influential bigwigs in the court are on his side, which easily incites jealousy. Even if the Saint knew, he would likely only be wary since not even he can fully control those people.
