Yan Junchu clearly also pondered over this issue, looking at Xin Yi he remarked, "Let me think about it since it involves the Li Family."
Su Xinyi understood the Crown Prince's worry. In the past few occasions, Your Majesty had let the Li Family off, but if they were to get away again this time, it would truly be infuriating.
"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. The Emperor showed mercy because of Empress Dowager Li's reputation. But it can't be like this every time. Moreover, smallpox is not a trifling matter. If we clarify it first and then inform Your Majesty, and he gets furiously ill upon hearing it, we would indeed be unfilial." Su Xinyi was very worried about the Emperor's health, naturally placing His Majesty's safety above all else.
As for Empress Dowager Li, to speak bluntly, she didn't have much longer to live anyway. At this juncture, the Emperor was clearly more important.
Yan Junchu patted Xin Yi's hand, "I know, don't worry."
