He thought it was just an accident, until Qing'er told him that he might have been poisoned by Crescent Moon Grass. Back then, the late emperor had also passed away because of this herb, and Imperial Physician Sun had failed to treat him in time. He had always felt guilty and blamed himself, and later devoted himself to studying strange and unusual diseases.
If anyone knew about this herb, besides Dr. Sun and him, only the person who administered the medicine could.
Sun Yuanzheng was on good terms with him and inadvertently told him about this. At the time, he thought it was a joke, but after learning the truth about the late emperor's death and considering the emperor's hasty ascension to the throne, he inevitably began to suspect the emperor.
However, he never expected that the same trick would be used on his grandson, Cheng Yuqing. If it weren't for the fact that Dean Sun had been involved in such matters beforehand, he would never have made the connection.
However, after the princess saved Qing'er, he dispelled his doubts and went to the palace to speak privately with the emperor about the matter. But the emperor knew nothing about it, so he then placed his suspicions on Yun Qishan.
However, before he could verify it, Yun Qishan acted desperately, which was something he hadn't expected.
"Who told your son to refuse to help me?" Yun Qishan said sternly. "I consider Cheng Fang a close friend, but what has he done? I've tried to win him over time, but he hasn't wavered at all. He only wants to be Yun Qitian's lackey. If it weren't for your interference, would Cheng Fang have refused me? I'm going to make you taste what it's like to lose your wife and children and live a lonely life."
"But Qing'er, he's still just a child. What would you gain by harming him?"
Cheng Zheng was overwhelmed with grief, and his arms began to tremble.
This time, he was filled with unbearable regret. A single wrong decision nearly led to the destruction of his family. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not hesitate to show compassion.
"Ah, it's just that Cheng Yuqing was too lucky to have died in the princess's mansion."
"So, Wan'er was only saving Cheng Yuqing?"
The empress's hands trembled, and tears streamed down her face.
She still thought that her daughter had always only ever caused trouble.
Seeing Xiang Wan's pale face, the Empress was filled with grief. If saving someone meant certain death, she would rather her daughter remain that troublesome little girl for the rest of her life; at least then, she could ensure her daughter's safety for life.
"I wouldn't have acted prematurely, but I have to thank you for giving birth to such a wonderful daughter, ruining my years of planning. Don't worry, you won't be alone on your journey to the underworld, hahahahaha..."
Xiang Wan couldn't stand hearing him make so many excuses for trying to seize the throne.
She coughed twice and slowly woke up.
Now that the person behind the scenes has revealed themselves, let them stay here forever!
