Li Wei had to admit that these people did have a few tricks up their sleeves.
They had hidden the thing in the botanical garden funded and built by the Calent Family. That way, once the truth came out, the Calent Family would inevitably fall under suspicion, and the Royalists would lose an important, reliable ally.
