"What characters?"
Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe exchanged a look.
They both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.
The husband and wife had the same thought.
"Probably... Bingxu?" Xie Yunliu chuckled. "Strange, isn't it?"
Zheng Xiu nodded, feigning calm. "Where is Cheng Xiao?"
"He ran off." Xie Yunliu pursed his lips. "The entire Court is after Cheng Xiao now. There's even a rumor going around." Xie Yunliu's expression suddenly turned serious. "They say that whoever kills Cheng Xiao and brings back his head will be handsomely rewarded by the Court."
Zheng Xiu chuckled. "How handsome a reward?"
Xie Yunliu said, "Power over all but one."
Zheng Xiu: "But that 'one person' you'd be answering to... that seat is still empty, isn't it?"
Xie Yunliu: "Right now, the Second Prince, Wei Yanjun, has the most support. The infighting is intense, but from what I can see, he has the backing of many ministers. It's only a matter of time before he becomes Emperor."
