"Proceed with the original plan," Lu Jiu replied. "The key is when Prince Cheng will make his move and by what means."
"The altar." Jih Heng interjected. "On May 18th, when the Emperor ascends the mountain for the Heavenly Sacrifice, it's a good opportunity."
"So Prince Cheng is planning to take out the Emperor on the mountain?" Kong Liu made a throat-slitting gesture. "That works. It's ruthless enough to be Prince Cheng's style!"
"Should I perform spirit writing later, to see if there will be any bloodshed on May 18th?" Wen Renyao chimed in.
"Spare us the charlatan act, everyone knows your divinations are unreliable," Kong Liu said dismissively. "It's useless, better to rely on ourselves."
"In any case, all parties have now entered the scene," Lu Jiu tapped on the table, "but if the Emperor deals with Prince Cheng this time, will the Jiang Family be next?"
"No," Jih Heng was very certain.
Everyone in the room turned to look at him.
