How did she know he could hear her?
Seeing that he looked doubtful about life, Su Man kindly answered, "Guess why you were poisoned?"
"Don't say it!"
Di Zixiao covered his ears.
However, Su Man did not let him go so easily. She pried Di Zixiao's hand away and said word by word, "Because I was the one who poisoned him."
Di Zixiao's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"
"Why?"
Su Man seemed to be looking at him, but also seemed to be looking into the unknown distance.
...
She had also asked this question when Dayong Kingdom was broken and Diman was humiliated by the soldiers.
But how did Di Zixiao respond at that time?
Su Man grabbed Di Zixiao's collar and said word by word, "Because I've never loved you. If you weren't still useful, I'd feel sick just looking at you."
After saying that, she left the hall without caring about Di Zixiao's reaction.
When she reached the door, she ordered, "Seal all the doors of the palace. No one is allowed to enter or speak to him."

After pacifying the previous dynasty and dealing with Di Zixiao, there was only one task left: to catch the traitor.
Fortunately, Di Zixiao gave her a lot of useful clues. She first returned to the Qinzheng Palace and compared the notes of the female prime minister, the vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel one by one.
Unfortunately, no one's notes matched.
Could it be that the traitor is not among the three of them?
Su Man did not give up and compared the letter she received from Di Zixiao with the memorials from all officials. Although there were similar handwritings, they were not from the same person.
Just as she was trying to find the difference, Wu Xia came to report.
"Your Majesty, the palace servants from the Ministry of Punishment tortured Nong Shuang severely, but she refused to say anything. Then, when no one was paying attention, she hit her head against the wall and committed suicide."
"Where's Xiao Lu?"
"Xiao Lu confessed everything, but he didn't know much. He said he had met the adult once. Although he was wearing a hood, it was clear that he was a man."
"man?"
Su Man suddenly realized what she had overlooked. People with high positions and power are not necessarily just officials.
For example, family.
