He scooped two bowls, gave one to Lian Changhe, and, recalling a certain matter, felt somewhat heavy-hearted, "Brother Changhe, about Mu Su's affair..." This matter was sensitive and must not be overheard.
He cautiously glanced around and leaned closer to Lian Changhe before lowering his voice and saying, "The thing about Mu Su impersonating someone else to take the imperial examination, I fear it won't end well. I've been pondering over these past few days, and no matter how I think about it, I can't come up with a good solution. The lightest consequence will still hinder his official career..."
Now that Lian Mu is known to scholars everywhere, if one day someone finds out he sat the exam under a false name and it gets exposed, I'm afraid even the Emperor won't be able to save him. If things get more severe, backlash from the public could even endanger his life.
