"What do you mean by asking so many questions? What does this have to do with the Zhao family?" Li Linfeng asked angrily.

Tian Yu smiled and said, "Don't rush! I'll finish the story for you. Your sister, this Dowager Consort, traveled abroad for ten years. What did she do? I guess she persuaded the nobles of various countries to join forces against the Wu Kingdom. As for how she convinced them, the Dowager Consort is so beautiful and charming, she must have had many methods. I won't guess them all; you can use your imagination! Now Your Majesty knows why you met what you thought was your true love in the Wu Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, stop spouting nonsense!" Consort Li slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily.

"Speaking nonsense? You harbor resentment because you couldn't marry Zhao Moyan's father, so you took revenge on the entire country and ruined him! You dare say you didn't do it?!" Tian Yu glared angrily at Consort Li. She was betting that, based on what she had learned before and the records in the palace archives, the timing of everything matched perfectly. The only suspicious person was Consort Li, but she had heard that the Zhao family were old friends, and that she left right after Zhao Zhongyi's wedding. This puzzled Tian Yu. The only explanation was that she loved Zhao Zhongyi, but for some reason, she couldn't have him. Tian Yu deduced that the culprit behind this was Consort Li, driven by love turned to hatred!

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I thought you knew something? It turns out it was all just your wild guesses. I did have feelings for Zhao Zhongyi, but I let it go after he married someone else. Why would I take revenge on him? Besides, our two families have always been on good terms. You can ask Lord Li if you don't believe me."

“The Dowager is right, she wouldn’t do that.” Li Linfeng had obviously thought of something, but still insisted that it wasn’t his sister who did it.

“I can testify that Consort Li once entered and left the Qiu Kingdom’s palace. Although I was young at the time, I saw it with my own eyes,” Qiu Xue said, looking at Tian Yu.

"The Empress Dowager has been to Che Kingdom and Qiu Kingdom, she's really busy. I wonder if she has also been to Meng Kingdom and Chen Kingdom?" Tian Yu said.

"I have been there, but so what? Do you think you can frame me based on just a few guesses?"

"It's quite a coincidence," Tian Yu said. "When you went to those countries, Wu was defending against a foreign enemy. For some reason, these countries suddenly turned against Wu, causing Wu heavy losses. The Zhao family was wiped out, and most of Wu's generals died. The late emperor had no choice but to send his own son as a hostage to secure temporary peace. Speaking of which, Your Majesty, when you were oppressed in Che, didn't you ever consider that you might have been manipulated by someone else?!" Tian Yu wanted to enlighten him, thinking she was giving him one last chance!
