To prove that he didn't kill the person, the murderer must be found.
“Yes, Bi’er, you must be careful. Now that you hold great power, there are many people who resent you. Don’t fall into their trap.” Yi De said worriedly. “Your father doesn’t even see me anymore, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you are well, it doesn’t matter what grievances your mother suffers.”
"Father?" Zhao Bi's mind raced. He quickly thought of all sorts of things based on the hints Yi De had given him. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. What if it was Emperor Mingde who was using someone else to do his dirty work?
He shook his head, not daring to think any further, but his mind kept wandering uncontrollably. Now that he was acting as regent, his father must be furious but powerless to do anything about it. With the New Party officials resigning one after another, he had no one to rely on and had no choice but to let him take charge of the country.
But what if he dies? If he dies, the emperor can regain power.
The more Zhao Bi thought about it, the more likely it seemed. As for Zhao Yi and Zhao Shu, he didn't even consider or doubt them, because he was so arrogant that he thought neither Zhao Yi nor Zhao Shu were his match.

"You don't need to tell me about this; you handle it yourself," Emperor Mingde said, repeating his previous statement.
Zhao Bi pondered for a moment before replying, "Father, someone is framing me, trying to use me as a tool to kill. I can't figure out who has the ability to harm me. Please enlighten me, Father."
Emperor Mingde sneered and looked at him, "Whoever you think did it, then they did it!" He neither explained nor denied, nor admitted it; he was almost completely silent, but Zhao Bi already had the answer in his heart.
He stood up. "Father, please rest assured and recuperate here. Spend more time with Mother when you have time. I will take care of the affairs of the court. Please don't worry about me!"
