See, I think the Regent and Attendant are too busy scheming to bother going to the archives, and I'd be quite safe. I could always hide in a back room or in the stacks if someone scary came in. I'd be more nervous in the streets with the palace guard patrolling and occasional public executions. /o\

Visiting Wu Tian'en is a fabulous idea, excellent thought!

He's seen different stages in Dixing's history, too!
