According to Lady Chaoyan, Duke North was poisoned because he fed himself the drug? That was why he had the antidote with him?
Then what made him do that?
Because he failed the battle, or because he had inherited his father's rank? Was it because his father used to be so ferocious and capable, and he failed to live up to his father's reputation, so he wanted to receive less humiliation?
That was the only explanation he could come up with.
However, as he thought about this, he still did not understand. After all, General Liu lost a battle, so did the Crown Prince. He should have no problem losing just one battle, so what was the point of putting on a show? Duke North should not be like this…
Gu Chaoyan took a sip of the tea.
