"Unfortunately, Lord Chiang has many enemies." It was truly ironic. Her father had sent her to court - effectively sold her to court - in order to keep her safe, but that very court was a pit of vipers. Besides the enemies without, who were probably more likely to have sent the black notes, there were plenty of enemies within as well, both enemies of Chiang, and enemies of Mei herself. Concubines jockeyed and jostled for position, and as such, Mei was another adversary to be dealt with through means both fair and foul, though she supposed that the other women of the court probably didn't plan to kill her - so there was that anyway. But it did mean that political acumen was very much a survival skill all the same.<br/><br/>"The real question is which of those enemies have the ability to do this. These are powerful magics at play, and that requires a powerful sorcerer." Mei sighed. "And magic is not something I am particularly familiar with. It does mean that who we are dealing with is not someone to be taken lightly. But I suppose you already knew that. My apologies that I cannot be of more assistance here."
