Actually, Zheng Fan didn't much care what impact his advice would have on Ren Juan's future. He had only said those things to Ren Juan to show that he was on their side.
As soon as he returned to his sleeping quarters, Zheng Fan immediately summoned the Blind Man and the others, assigning them the task Lord Jingnan had given him. Then, he found a relatively empty room in the side hall adjacent to his quarters and began to rest.
By the time he awoke, it was nearing dusk.
Stretching languidly as he woke, Xue Three hopped down from a ceiling beam. "My lord, you are awake?"
Zheng Fan nodded, glanced at the sky outside, and said, "I slept a bit long."
"You were tired, my lord."
