Soon, Shang Ruyi recounted to Yu Wenye the words the Empress Dowager had shared with her previously. After she finished speaking, her expression darkened even more as she said, "Actually, at that time, I had immediately wanted to come out and tell you, but unexpectedly, the fire started."
As she spoke, a glint of cold light flashed in her eyes.
"I don't know if this fire was meant to eliminate the Empress Dowager, eliminate me, or eliminate us who might know about this matter."
"..."
"But no matter what, there is still a chance now!"
Upon hearing her words, Yu Wenye's brows remained tightly furrowed, and seeing him remain silent, Shang Ruyi became a bit anxious – she had held back previously because she knew he would worry, worry about the Empress Dowager's health and her own. So she waited until the doctors had examined them both and confirmed they were safe before telling Yu Wenye, hoping he could leave immediately without any concerns.
But why hadn't he left yet?
