The sounds of discussions were not small. They were like bombs thrown into Consort Zhao's heart. She knew that her plan had failed completely today. Not only could she not save Lian An, but she would also implicate him. She had planned to use this incident to push the matter about Lian An and He Yuxiu onto Mo Xuetong and put her to death.
However, things did not go according to her plan.
First, the maidservant did not get Mo Xuetong's handkerchief, and instead, she got Ling Rui'er's handkerchief. This was already beyond Consort Zhao's expectations. It was fortunate that she could blame Mo Xuetong for this. However, unexpected things happened one after another. The situation had completely changed. She failed to put Mo Xuetong to death in one go, but she would draw the suspicion of Emperor Zongwen.
