If the officials do not tolerate you, leave the Capital City; if the people do not tolerate you, leave the Li Kingdom. The world is vast, and there is always a place for you to exist. Why must you be burdened by the ways of the world?"
Ye Tianshu was carefree and unrestrained, but Shangguan Xi felt he could not do the same.
He could not, for the sake of his own selfish desires, force Yan Weichi to act in such a way that disregarded human morality, nor could he abandon his father, the Emperor, and leave him to his fate.
