At night, when Nangong Yi returned, Cai Wei brought up the matter to him.
Although their relationship was intimate, Cai Wei still maintained proper discretion in some aspects. After all, Nangong Yi was a man of ancient times, his mind deeply ingrained with feudal thoughts, permeating into his very bones. He had already done many things that contravened feudal ethics for her, and she was very content. Therefore, she did not expect him to comply with everything she suggested, like pardoning Du Ruohai. She would mention it to Nangong Yi, but she would never interfere with his decision.
Upon hearing Cai Wei's words, Nangong Yi readily agreed, "This is nothing to worry about. I will issue an order tomorrow to demote these rebellious traitors to slaves and send them to Lingbei, never to leave Lingbei forever!"
Cai Wei, gratefully said, "Nangong Yi, you can go ahead and do it as you see fit. It was just a suggestion, and if you do not wish to pardon them, I will not be upset."
