The Great Idle Person of the Zhenguan Era.

Summary

Li Su was accused of being "unscrupulous," and indeed, he had manipulated the situation to his advantage. He had spread rumors in the East Market, causing a huge commotion throughout the city, but then suddenly withdrew, and the people who had spread the rumors were sent to the Longyou region. Li Tai, the Prince of Wei, took over and blew the rumors out of proportion, trying to take advantage of the crisis and add insult to injury, ruining the Crown Prince. However, the officials in the imperial court suspected Li Tai as the mastermind behind the scenes, and Li Su was ruled out as a suspect due to his young age and lack of foundation. The Prince of Wei was accused of half the blame, but he had indeed done the second half of the deed. Li Tai had thought he had the perfect opportunity, but in the end, he was the one who had been burned. Li Su and Li Tai had collaborated on the same misdeed, with Li Su doing the first half and Li Tai doing the second half. They had worked together seamlessly, without any prior communication. The case that had involved Li Su had finally come to an end, but Li Su couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He was worried about the Crown Prince's next move, as the Crown Prince had been slandered and maligned by the people of Chang'an and the officials at court, yet had not made any statement or taken any action. Li Su felt like he was living in a nightmare, waiting for the other shoe to drop, and he knew that he had to be on his guard, ready for anything that might come his way.
