However, there are many different accounts from later generations regarding why a courtesan could make a king willing to sacrifice himself to make her empress.

Some people felt sorry for Lin Wushuang, but many more were unconvinced.

But this resentment quietly dissipated after seeing Xiang Wan.

The second princess has designs on the Empress!

The Empress Dowager showed no respect to the two princesses!

These two are going to have a lot to fight about from now on!

This reflects the truest thoughts of many ministers.

Seeing that they couldn't change the situation, they were still happy to see the Second Princess unhappy with the Empress.

After the ceremony ended, Xiang Wan left the palace without any hesitation and went straight to the Second Princess's residence.

Lin Wushuang took off her elaborate and heavy phoenix robe and walked into the Phoenix Palace alone, taking out something that was soaked with sweat from her palm.

It was a small pill wrapped in layers of paper, which visibly shrank in the air, and then a cool sensation spread from his brain throughout his body, making him feel much lighter.

Looking at the crumpled paper ball that had been torn apart, the writing was already somewhat blurred, but it was still barely possible to make out the characters.

"Antidote, be careful!"

Lin Wushuang silently placed the crumpled paper on the burning incense burner, watching it slowly burn to ashes. Then, with a snap, she swept the incense burner to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I will come and clean up immediately!"

A palace servant rushed in, knelt down, and prostrated himself on the ground, trembling all over.

She appeared to be a timid palace maid, not daring to even breathe loudly in front of Lin Wushuang.

Lin Wushuang's mind raced. She crushed the piece of paper, which had been burned to ashes but was not completely shattered, with her foot and calmly asked, "What is this?"

The palace maid raised her head slightly, glanced at it, and stammered, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is... lily incense."

"Oh? The lily incense burns out and looks like this? I'm so ignorant. Someone, please invite Physician Song over so he can take a look at what kind of incense this is."

"Your Majesty, spare me! I didn't do it on purpose; someone forced me to do it. Please, spare me..."

Lin Wushuang didn't speak again, her eyes fixed on the main entrance.

Even though he was no longer in the palace, he could still know what was happening around him.

Is it surveillance? Or care?

Lin Wushuang couldn't figure it out for a long time, but she didn't intend to let the person behind the scenes off the hook. She would just consider it the first warning she would give to everyone after becoming the Empress!
