INT. TEAHOUSE
- PRIVATE ROOM -
EVENING
Shixiang enters the private room, where a few REFORMIST OFFICIALS are already seated. They greet him with quiet nods, their faces a mix of determination and concern.
REFORMIST OFFICIAL #1
"Shixiang, the pressure is mounting. We've received word that the Chancellor is preparing to tighten his grip. We need to decide our next steps."
SHIXIANG
"We push forward. Our goal is clear, and we have the support of key scholars and officials. The emperor must see that reform is the only viable path to strengthening the empire."
REFORMIST OFFICIAL #2
"But your father's influence is a powerful counter. He will not allow this movement to gain any more ground without a fight."
Shixiang nods, fully aware of the challenges ahead.
SHIXIANG
"Then we'll give him that fight. Every piece of information Aiyue provides brings us closer to outmaneuvering him. We'll need to act decisively, but with caution. Our time is limited, and we cannot afford mistakes."
