Of the three in total, two are dead, and the last one is missing.
This left Song Yuanbao a bit desperate, "So is there one or not?"
Song Wei said, "Actually, inviting an illusionist to perform for the Imperial Concubine's amusement isn't quite appropriate."
On this point, Song Yuanbao was pretty clear. Currently, the position of Empress is vacant, and Princess Consort Qi has the most support but is also in the spotlight. Illusion techniques have been lost for so long, and to have an illusionist perform for her birthday seems overly grandiose. The Emperor is suspicious by nature, and one can't be sure he won't have some negative assumptions at that time.
But Song Yuanbao simply didn't want to let Zhao Xi down.
Before coming, he promised Zhao Xi he would try his best to find the illusionist.
