"Human feelings?"
Shang Ruyi paused for a moment, then thought again and said, "Are you referring to the Left Guard...?"
Yu Wenye nodded without showing any emotion.
Shang Ruyi said, "However, Father is not using the Crown Prince's troops, nor is he using your troops, clearly guarding against both of you. If it becomes known that you are making connections on your own accord—Father would surely be even more suspicious."
Yu Wenye said, "Things naturally have to be done without leaving any traces. Moreover,"
as he spoke, he turned to look outside: "Not now."
"Then when?"
"At least, wait until it warms up before discussing it."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi turned to look outside the hall following his gaze. Today was a rare good day; even though the winter sun offered little warmth, it brought a sense of brilliance in the icy and snowy landscape. Even the rustling sound of the cold wind brushing against the pines and cypresses at the corner of the wall became warm and pleasant.
