Qin He said: "The Queen Mother is extremely cunning and sly. I have never truly trusted her. I will be more careful of her in the future."
Although Lu Wan already knew that the Queen Mother wanted to kill her, she did not take any action. She did not propose to do anything to the two maids or intend to send them back to the palace, so as not to alert the enemy.
When the Queen Mother first heard the maid report that Lu Wan had poured out the sandalwood mixed with Tengqi, she thought she had noticed it. But a few days later, she replaced the sandalwood mixed with Tengqi again, so she was relieved.
But what she didn't know was that this Teng Qi was not the real Teng Qi, and the non-toxic spices prepared by Qinhe were just to paralyze the Queen Mother.
Shen Yan and Lu Changxin didn't know about this. Lu Wan secretly investigated the Queen Mother to see what she was planning.
Within a few days of investigation, she discovered that the empress dowager was ruling the country from behind the scenes not only because the little emperor was young, but also because she herself was extremely ambitious. She was no longer satisfied with staying in the harem, but wanted to take power and replace the little emperor to control the world.
The empress dowager often met secretly with several important officials of the court. In their view, these officials were completely the empress dowager's cronies. She also sent spies to the generals' mansions and the homes of officials who supported the young emperor under various pretexts to monitor them secretly.
Judging from the fact that she wanted to use Qinhe to kill herself, she wanted to kill far more than just herself, but all the officials who supported the little emperor.
However, this matter was of great importance and she was not too sure, so she did not tell Lu Changxin and Shen Yan.
Lu Wan, who felt like he had learned a huge piece of news, had been hesitating. Of course, he knew that if this matter was true, he must tell Shen Yan and his brother in advance.
But this matter is of great importance after all. If it is false, then their planning would be in vain.
After all, in order to prevent this incident from actually happening, my brother and Shen Yan must make some preparations to deal with it, for fear that it is another trap, waiting for them to jump in.
Just when Lu Wan was hesitating, the princess came and found Lu Wan.
"Lu Wan, are you in the room?" The princess' voice sounded very anxious, but she had to maintain her etiquette and would not break into other people's rooms at will.
Hearing the princess' voice, Lu Wan came back to his senses. He couldn't let such a thing trip him up.
Although this matter cannot be completely confirmed now, and there is no way for me to waste my brother and Shen Yan's time on this, I can completely come up with some countermeasures by myself.
