At the time, I thought it was because of palace affairs, but now I've discovered there's more to it than meets the eye.
“That’s right, it was her who did it,” Mo Qian said with certainty.
"Your Majesty, I have discovered signs of poisoning in you. You have been poisoned by Sleeping Beauty. In the early stages, you will feel drowsy, and then you will fall asleep without realizing it, and it will be difficult for others to notice."
"It was because of this discovery that I began the investigation."
"Then what were the pills before?" the Empress exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, those were pills that could strengthen the body, but the ones given to the Empress Dowager were mixed with Sleeping Beauty's antidote," Mo Qian explained in response to the Empress's question.
"Afterwards, through investigation, it was discovered that the Third Prince's mother, Consort Wan Qianqian, was somewhat suspicious. As the investigation deepened, it was found that the Empress Dowager's poisoning was related to her."

"Your Majesty, Qian'er was only concerned about me and lost her composure. If anyone is to blame, it's me." The Empress then said with a worried expression.
"Empress, I don't blame her," the Emperor said with a hint of helplessness.
However, thinking that the Empress had almost fallen ill again, I felt a little sorry for her and didn't want to worry her any further.
Afterwards, the Emperor inquired about some details and then dismissed Mo Qian.
There's still a ton of stuff to deal with afterwards!
A fierce glint flashed in the Emperor's eyes at the thought of Wan Qianqian.
