The Emperor hurriedly picked up the note to read, and his expression suddenly changed, seething with anger.
"What happened?" Princess Lianchun asked urgently when she saw the Emperor's expression.
The Emperor looked at Xie Pan'Er, who quickly leaned her head over and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Suisui said she overheard Lu Zezhong's inner thoughts. The Empress Dowager's analysis concluded that once Lu Yunsheng's identity was confirmed as the bloodline of the Prince of Qing and inherited the Prince of Qing's title, Lu Zezhong would plot to assassinate His Majesty. After the Emperor's demise, Lu Yunsheng would ascend the throne as the most suitable successor!"
The Emperor was so furious that he slammed the table, "What audacity!"
The Emperor's outcry wasn't quiet, and the sound of him slapping the table reached the few people kneeling in the Imperial Study.
