While Yang Liu was dealing with passenger issues on the boat, Yang Mei had pulled Mrs. Li ashore, only to find that she had already stopped breathing.
Seeing this, Yang Liu was taken aback. How could it be Mrs. Li? Moreover, she looked so much older, her hair already half white, making her look like an old woman.
However, if this person was Mrs. Li, it would explain why she tried to assassinate the Princess. The fire on the ship was probably also set intentionally by her.
Someone earlier reported seeing her leaving the cabin in the middle of the night.
Gong Qinghua still wanted to see how Shangguan Xuanyi saved Princess Rui. He also wanted to witness the rumored effects of the medicinal pill.
He started walking toward the bamboo forest. Yang Liu had been keeping an eye on him. After all, people from different groups often have divergent intentions.
