All the evidence pointed to Empress Dowager Du. Yao Shiyu thought about it and realized that someone who could act so recklessly was the one to do it.

It is likely that it really was Empress Dowager Du.

The sword stabbed her quite hard; her arm still hurt a little.

She looked at Gu Boyuan with a pitiful expression, and Gu Boyuan quickly took a spoon and fed her a spoonful.

Yao Shiyu was then happy, and she said seriously, "Empress Dowager Du!"

Gu Boyuan's eyes narrowed. "What about your mother-in-law's matter?"

Yao Shiyu gritted her teeth, "It's her too!"

Gu Boyuan slammed his fist on the dining table. "If it really is her, I will make sure she dies without a burial place."

Yao Shiyu persuaded Gu Boyuan and fed her another half bowl of rice. The two then discussed the matter.

Gu Boyuan then entered the palace to express his gratitude to His Majesty for his great favor.

Yao Shiyu's maidservant sent another letter to Jiang Luoluo while she was out shopping.

Jiang Luoluo watched as Yao Shiyu and Gu Boyuan, step by step, followed the route she had planned, and turned their attention to Empress Dowager Du.

She gently placed the plum blossoms into the vase; well, everything was under her control.

Inside the study of Prince Yi's residence, the sound of a zither filled the air.

After arranging the flowers, Jiang Luoluo went to the study.

Upon entering, one sees the tall figure sitting upright at the table; Xie Yizhi is wearing a moon-white outfit today.

This further accentuated his youthful spirit; his slender fingers flew swiftly, and the melody flowed gently along the strings.

Jiang Luoluo moved a chair over and sat down in front of him, listening quietly.

But as I listened, I couldn't help but find that this person's long, slender hands incredibly alluring.
