"There's another son?" Prime Minister He exclaimed, "Isn't this new Modu Chanyu ruthless? Didn't he kill everyone related to the previous Chanyu? How did he leave the former Chanyu's son alive?"
Grandmaster Liu asked pointedly, "What is special about this son?"
"I've heard he is a sickly child, born with poor health and taking medicine every day, spending hundreds of days a year bedridden. It's said he won't live to twenty." The Emperor laughed softly, crossing his hands to support his chin, "So, the new Modu Chanyu spared him, letting him linger on in pain."
Prime Minister He inquired, "Is he truly sickly?"
Grandmaster Liu said, "I fear he might be faking it."
"I'll tell you a secret, this sickly child's mother is a Han."
"What, a Han?" Prime Minister He and Grandmaster Liu gasped, "What is going on here?"
