Subjected to his own propaganda... Binghe never thought he'd see the day. He physically has to turn his head away from the other two and clamp a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing out loud at the sheer irony of it all.
"That... is the long and short of it."
He keeps his smart mouth shut about how sanitized the official story is to the historical realities - no need to antagonize Shen Luguang any further. Instead, he flashes the young scholar his most charming smile.
"As for how to manage our new little friends, I do know a... ah... fine, upstanding woman who may be able to help."
It is certainly one way to describe Madame Meiyin. She's about the only one he can trust not to betray him - or at least not consider his fall from power a good thing -after all, she and her girls will never eat so good again if something goes wrong.

All the more reason to head to Qishan.
