It was Jun Xiqing!
She managed to use such a simple ploy to get Ah Xiao to act like a fool, using Lu Yeming to get rid of Ah Xiao. Next, she used Mo'er to stall him, sending a text message to Gu Mohan.
More than anyone else, she knew exactly who he had planted those rosary peas for. It was for Mo'er.
She knew that he was besotted for the gentleness and companionship Mo'er had provided him over the years.
She knew that only Mo'er would be able to make him lose all of his self-control.
As she was held captive in the West Palace and couldn't plan anything else, she had staked it all on today. She really was intelligent and just this simple ploy was able to catch him by surprise.
She really played it well today.
He had fallen into her trap.
But there was something he just couldn't figure out. Mo'er was given the strongest aphrodisiac, how did Jun Xiqing manage to help Mo'er wear off the effects?
