The stakes in this passage operate on multiple levels and they keep escalating, which is why I couldn't put it down. At the personal level, we have Xun Shan facing an impossible choice: his grandson's life versus his own morality. The scene at the mass grave is devastating because it's not just physical danger — it's the violation of a grandfather's deepest instinct. He dotes on this child, takes him everywhere, and now someone is using that love as a weapon. When the masked figure starts shoveling dirt and the child goes from muffled struggles to being buried alive, the urgency is suffocating. Xun Shan's confession isn't just about survival — it's about buying time. Fifteen minutes. That's all he gets to either save the child or be complicit in murder. At the political level, the stakes involve Vice Minister Jiang's family, the Princess, and probably the imperial court. Lady Jiang's death wasn't natural — it was orchestrated, and Xun Shan was the tool. The question of who gave the order and why is a much bigger conflict than a single physician's dilemma. But what really raises the stakes for me is Feng Qingsui's position. She's a blind woman from the provinces in the capital, surrounded by people like Ji Peiyuan who see her as expendable, and Princess Shouyang who couldn't care less. Yet she's the one actively investigating, connecting dots, and operating independently. When she tells the Princess she needs time to think rather than giving a quick diagnosis, she's risking anger but also asserting control. She won't be rushed into saying what everyone expects. The internal conflicts are equally compelling. Ji Changqing is torn between suspicion and something softer — he watches his mother laugh with Feng Qingsui and feels replaced, yet he also ordered his guard to protect her. Madam Qi's anxiety about Feng Qingsui visiting the Princess mansion shows genuine maternal care, not just political calculation. And Xun Shan — the man who followed medical ethics his whole career, who was destroyed when his son made a mistake — now faces the ultimate test of those same ethics. What makes all this work is that the author never lets us forget what's at stake. The longevity lock on the floor, the puppet in the masked figure's hand, the freshly dug grave — every detail reinforces the danger. And Feng Qingsui, operating in the background, is the thread that might pull everything apart.
