Qin Xiyue said nothing more, a weary look on her face. Nanny Zhuo took one look at her and withdrew.
The moment Nanny Zhuo left, Qin Xiyue closed her eyes. 'The poisoning was real, and it was true that Chen Guoji had made a move. It was just that I wasn't her intended target.'
'No matter how they investigate, Chen Guoji won't be able to escape this. I don't feel I've done anything wrong. If it wasn't her, it would have been someone else. I was just using this incident to take a gamble before the Emperor.'
'Who would have thought Song Yunzhao would ruin everything!'
'Perhaps we never should have met, even back when we were outside the palace.'
Song Yunzhao followed the Emperor out of Huayang Palace. Partway there, she said tactfully, "Emperor, I will not disturb you any longer."
Feng Yi glanced at Song Yunzhao. Seeing her magnanimous look, he was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. "You should head back as well. I'm leaving."
