"Our network relayed two pieces of news. One is that indeed within the harem of the Wei Emperor, there is a concubine who is pregnant, but it is not Princess Consort Jin, Wei Liuyu, rather it is Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi entered the palace only two years ago, and her family holds just a seventh-rank official position, yet because of her youth and beauty, she receives much affection from the Wei Emperor."
"The other news is that the Wei Emperor's health has considerably declined recently, to the point he even fell asleep during court sessions, which many people are aware of."
Uncle Li, having finished speaking, found this strange himself and his voice was low:
"A concubine being pregnant isn't a huge matter; why did they go to such lengths to assassinate the messenger delivering these news to us from thousands of miles away?"
Gu Lan asked, "Uncle Li, do you know who pursued the marquis mansion's informant?"
