Xue Zhiyi had no intention of arguing with him, so he simply asked, "Does the Marquis of Lin'an have anything important to say?"
Speaking of this, Huo Wuyou finally looked serious: "What you told me last time has come to fruition."
"oh?"
Xue Zhiyi didn't react for a moment to which one he was talking about. He just straightened his collar and sat up straight to listen to him.
Huo Wuyou saw through it at a glance: "I know what you didn't remember."
He lowered his voice and said, "Wutan Zun, there is a result."
Xue Zhiyi's brows sank: "How?"
With a cold laugh, Huo Wuyou said, "That black sandalwood jar is indeed poisonous. It's a slow-acting poison from the Northern Di people. They knew that my grandmother loved practicing calligraphy, so they put the poison in the black sandalwood jar. That way, she would be gradually eroded by the poison over time."
His eyes grew colder. "It's just that the person who poisoned the jar was very clever. They knew that if they put a poison in the jar that could last for several years, it would be discovered sooner or later. So they changed their method. As long as someone drops a few drops of poison on it from time to time, the tampered jar will absorb the poison and then slowly release it. The poison can only last for a few days, and after a few days, there will be no evidence left."
Xue Zhiyi frowned: Sure enough, it was almost the same as she guessed. The reason for the empress dowager's sudden death in the previous life was indeed related to the black sandalwood jar.

Xue Zhiyi was startled by the snap and said, "Have I seen it before?"
That person is from Jianzhang Palace, how could she know who it is?
"Can't guess it?" Huo Wuyou smiled proudly: "It's Shi Qi."
"Is it her?" The female official beside the Queen Mother, who seemed quite clever that day.
Huo Wuyou shook his head regretfully. "I never thought I'd be a spy after being by my grandmother's side for so many years, only one rank lower than Chai Yue, a palace lady-in-waiting. It's really surprising."
Looking at Xue Zhiyi, he asked again: "Guess again, who is Shi Qi's master?"
