His implication was clear: "Your Highness, it's been several nights since you've returned to the main residence to sleep. The Prince is full of pent-up resentment, and the brothers at the Censorate's Black Armor Guard are being driven to the brink, crying out in agony. So, you should spend more time with the Prince and give the brothers some respite."
"Indeed, the karmic balance of the world is set, and I cannot alter it," Nanli sighed.
Then, she stood up, "I have many pills to refine and can't afford further delay."
"Your Highness, don't overwork yourself. Will you be returning to the main residence to sleep tonight?" Qing Feng asked expectantly.
"I still have a batch of talismans to draw. I haven't made any in a while, and our stock is depleted." Nanli counted on her fingers, already planning which types and how many talismans to create.
Qing Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, silently mourning for his brothers.
