"From the beginning to the end, including Cheng Zhijie's conviction, no one from his faction stood up to stop him."
"This old fellow is very bad! We have to be careful."
" The Ministry of Works isn't under his jurisdiction," Zhang Ronghua said." Even if he were to act in the name of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, it has to be reasonable. Otherwise, the Minister of Works wouldn't agree if he were to extend his hand.""
"That's true, but I'm afraid they'll exchange benefits."
"Who is the Minister of Works?"
Ding Yi pondered for a moment before shaking his head."I'm not too sure! Since he was already qualified to challenge the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, he probably wouldn't get involved in the royal family's affairs unless he gave up."
"You can't look at things from the surface. These old fellows are hiding very deeply. Until the last moment, we will never know who they are."
