"Cough."
Lin Caisang coughed lightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"When I first entered the National Teacher's Mansion, I thought of using poison to control the National Teacher, so I put a little bit of poison in his wine. Little did I know, the poison mysteriously disappeared later.
It was only later that I discovered he hadn't drunk the wine at all; it was meant to be presented to the Emperor."
So, the Emperor was actually poisoned.
Indeed, being poisoned, the ice silkworm garment was intended to suppress the toxicity.
However, perhaps the poison I administered was too mild. It didn't negate the poison in the ice silkworm garment, and thus, the Emperor still showed symptoms of poisoning.
"I had almost forgotten about this affair myself. It seems, in the end, I inadvertently saved the Emperor; otherwise..."
"No worries, he won't live long."
Prince Mo raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek as he spoke.
"Mm."
Lin Caisang nodded.
