ring her son to admit to rebellion, which truly chills her son's heart."And Mother, ask yourself this: even if your son handed over those two bags of explosives, would you keep your promise and releas...When he heard the two words 'Your Majesty', he paid a little more attention, but that was all.

Upon hearing about Lord Ye from the Ye Residence, he didn't pay much attention, so at this moment, he had no idea who Lord Ye that people were talking about was.

After all, he hadn't paid much attention to court affairs for some years, so he really couldn't guess who Lord Ye was referring to for a while.

Just then, Zhi'er asked about it, and he remembered Ye Da Ren.

"I'll have someone look into it and ask the palace informants to report on what's been happening there lately."

After he said that, fearing that Zhi'er would rush back to the palace with the antidote, he quickly added, "Zi Teng Phantom Poison doesn't take effect overnight. The antidote can be given later. If we can find out how long he has been taking this poison, we can also know what kind of antidote to use."

Chi'er nodded slightly, "Mmm."

She did indeed become impulsive upon learning of the poisoning, but now that she's calmed down, she naturally understands the potency of Zi Teng's phantom poison.

also know that Ming Deng is making a lot of sense now.

......

The Ming Deng's movements were also swift; his dispatched men would soon have the palace informants back.

This man had been lurking near the emperor for a long time. After paying his respects to Zhi'er and Ming Deng, he began to narrate what was happening around the emperor.

Over the years, countless events have transpired around the emperor. He cannot possibly recount them all, so he will only speak of those he deems necessary.

After an hour of talking, his mouth was dry, but he had finally finished.

Ming Deng looked at Zhi'er, "What else do you want to know"

Actually, she already knew what she needed to know. She couldn't help but feel self-deprecating at this moment.

Originally, she had no standing whatsoever in his heart.

That woman died, and her body was stolen. For a single corpse, he could deploy so many people and expend so much effort to find it.

And what about her

Although she and that woman disappeared almost at the same time, she's still alive. He didn't even bother to ask about her once throughout the whole thing.

Wasn't it the moment that woman died that he also considered her a stand-in, dead as well

How could he have gone so many years without a word, let alone looking for me or even asking about me

At this moment, all the deep affection she had held for so many years seemed utterly ridiculous.

At this moment, she finally understood what a tragedy it was to have experienced all the upheavals and loneliness she had in the past.

The most tragic thing is that she met him, and she repeatedly compromised and pleaded with him. She thought she at least had a little place in his heart, but reality slapped her hard in the face.

Let her understand that in his heart, she is nothing, not even as much as anything else.

Ming Deng now looked at her bloodshot eyes, his hand under the table clenching slightly.

He couldn't understand, for the life of him, what kind of magic that dog emperor possessed, to have her so bewitched, flying into his flames again and again.

If an ordinary person encountered such a thing, seeing through the emperor's treacherous and cruel heart, they would definitely take his life with their own hands if given the chance.

He understood Zi'er, and at this moment, seeing her state, he knew she was deeply saddened, but she had never once thought of killing the Emperor Dog.

So, no matter how angry he is now, no matter how much he wants to take the emperor's life, he can't express it.

The bright light saw that Zhi'er didn't need any questions about her eyeliner, so he gave her a look to signal the eyeliner to leave. He silently stayed by Zhi'er's side, waiting for her to calm down on her own.

Zier was lost in her own emotions, unable to extricate herself. She lowered her head, staring at the table, completely unaware that Ming Deng's gaze had been fixed on her face the whole time.

Seeing her sorrow for another man, Ming Deng's gaze gradually grew dark. The depths of his eyes, as deep and profound as a cold pool, seemed to churn with countless emotions, complex and subtle, impossible to fathom.

Not knowing how long she had been crying, Zhi'er finally came to her senses, realizing she was weeping hysterically in front of Ming Deng. She avoided his gaze and simply asked, “Who do you think poisoned him”

Even though Zhi'er didn't mention his name explicitly, Ming Deng immediately knew "he" referred to the puppet emperor.

From the previous lines, they also knew that the Emperor's most trusted person these past few months was Hua Guifei, a concubine who had just entered the palace and been named Noble Consort.

And then there was Ye, the official who was trusted by the emperor because of his father's influence.

These two are the most likely to have poisoned the emperor.

Ming Deng pondered for a moment, "Someone surnamed Ye would not easily give up the opportunity to serve the Emperor. Unless he had a deep blood feud with him, he wouldn't sabotage his own future."

"As for that Empress Hua, she being a concubine in the palace would find it easier to poison someone compared to that Ye person."

Zhi'er also considered this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, "And her origins are unknown."

This is what the eyeliner just said, this Hua Guifei wasn't from a noble family in Beijing, nor was she the daughter of an official. She was taken back to the palace by the emperor when he left the palace and made Guifei.

Therefore, compared to others, the most suspicious person is naturally the Flower Noble Consort.

Chi'er recalled what the eyeliner had said earlier, that the Emperor had been spending almost every night in Empress Hua's palace these past few months. She narrowed her eyes slightly:

It seems I'll have to make another trip tonight. Who is this Hua Gui Fei I must meet her.

“......”

The candlelight flickered across her lips as he silently reminded himself, wasn't it agreed that they wouldn't meddle in imperial affairs for the rest of their lives
