Zizhen nods his agreement, sipping the tea thoughtfully.
Yuan is quiet, staring silently into his tea cup and worrying. Surely if it was something to do with Jin Ling they would tell him, wouldn't they?
"Who do you think the letter was from?" he says quietly
"Looked like maybe Jiang colours?" Zizhen says "Hard to tell from this far."

Who knew the Jiang sect leader was capable of such beautiful words of his own? Huaisang wonders if it's too soon to call his ex-fiancee an idiot. He does so anyway, to himself at least, and wonders if it will be too much to drape himself smugly all over the man the next time they're in her company.
Jiang Cheng would never allow it, and Huaisang really needs to stop getting ahead of himself when he doesn't know what this is, but it's fun to daydream, and he can save the awkward questions for when Jiang Cheng isn't dealing with a clearly stressful family crisis.
Dearest A-Cheng,
This is the work of men, not gods, I promise you that. You deserve no such punishment. I have enclosed a list of people who do deserve punishment, though by all accounts you should be rest assured that none of these people have been able to get near your nephew since you arrived with him.
I'll do anything else I can for you, A-Cheng, simply say the word
Your Nightingale
Enclosed with the letter is a list of all the plotters that his spies have managed to ferret out. He can't do much about the illness, but he can prevent anybody else attempting anything while Jin Ling is weak.
