Do we know when she joined up with Zhu Jiu/Team Ye Zun? Was she with him from the start? I remember there was a crow in the web novelist case, but I can't recall one before then.

But she could also have discovered it on her own, from spying, and would likely have sooner or later if she hadn't known already.

*nodnod* That's what I figured. I'd love to read fic of her finding out, however she does...

or if not, she likely extrapolated from the Envoy enforcing the treaty she had already decided was holding the Yashou back. She likely thought of the Envoy as someone who's actually invested in the status quo - and, like the Snake and Flower tribes, maybe well-intentioned but still wrong.

And she's not wrong, there. Shen Wei doesn't give any indication of being up for revolution (as we've discussed elsewhere, that's not necessarily a bad thing), and the Yashou are not his priority... They're pretty much an afterthought for most humans and most Dixingren. :-/
