Jin Fan, Lian Huishan, and Wang Chaojia paid a joint visit to Liu Ye'er. Sunlight streamed through the exquisite window lattices, casting a warm glow over the four of them and reflecting the worry etched on their faces. As an emissary of Li Sheng, Wang Chaojia had a clear purpose for this trip: he hoped to obtain valuable advice from the exceptionally clever Liu Ye'er.
Wang Chaojia detailed Li Sheng's current predicament at length. Serving as the Military Commissioner of Sili should have been a symbol of glory and power, yet Li Sheng was now merely a figurehead, a commander of an empty shell. Bereft of actual power, he was like a manipulated puppet, entirely at the mercy of others. But the moment he attempted to seize real authority, he feared incurring the imperial court's suspicion and bearing the stigma of disloyalty and betrayal. Li Sheng was walking a dangerous tightrope, with endless abysses on both sides, caught in a dilemma where every move was fraught with peril.
Though sharp and quick-witted, Lian Huishan also found this matter thorny. Hearing Wang Chaojia's account, Liu Ye'er could not help letting out a soft sigh. She knew deep down that what Li Sheng urgently needed right now was not merely an idea, but a comprehensive strategy that would allow him to land safely.
