Ye Weiming and his companions waited in the guest room for an entire night, and by the next morning, they still hadn't received any news of Li Qiushui's demise. Finally, they confirmed that Li Yuanhao intended to keep her death a secret.
"This was expected," Ye Weiming analyzed to his companions after receiving the news. "Firstly, if Li Qiushui passes away now, it would indeed be unsuitable to proceed with the wedding in Yinchuan. Moreover, if Li Qiushui's death were made public, Li Yuanhao would have no reason not to attend her funeral. How would he then manage to secretly ally with the Tibetan king?"
After a brief pause, he added, "Also, from what we've seen and heard since arriving in Western Xia, it seems that Li Yuanhao may not have full control over the situation. Even the capture of Li Qiushui seems to be very secretive, and those forces loyal to her may not even be aware of it."
