"Your Majesty, the one in the cold palace has been poisoned with the rare 'fragrant orchid' poison," Eunuch Gui secretly glanced at the emperor as he replied.
"What?!"
At that moment, the emperor was truly dumbfounded.
How could it be the poison 'fragrant orchid'? He hadn't leaked the poison to anyone except to Sui Zilin alone.
But how... how could Princess Consort Lian also be afflicted by this poison?
Once, he had thought that questioning Sui Zilin alone would suffice; if he died, then he died. He still had Sui Zijin.
Although Sui Zijin had been poisoned before and his body had not fully recovered yet, he would eventually get better, and besides, he felt it was better if the recovery took a while.
After all, he was still young, he could sit on the throne for a long time to come, and he didn't wish to have a sound son to compete with him for the position.
But now, someone was telling him that Sui Zijin's mother and Sui Zilin had been afflicted by the same poison!
