"The mistress isn't that simple," Ye Zi'an stated. "Mu Shaoling's antidote hasn't been developed yet; that's one thing. Secondly, even if the antidote is developed, whether it would work on Prince Le is still uncertain. Thirdly, if the antidote is ineffective, who knows how long it will take to research a new one? And what if Prince Le takes action against us during this time?"
"Given the current situation, it's not impossible; at the very least, Prince Fu has already been dealt with. What's left are Prince Ping and Prince Zhuang. The other princes are too young to be concerned about. His next target isn't Prince Zhuang or Prince Ping, but if Prince Zhuang is deposed, we're all done for."
After a pause, Ye Zi'an added, "The best course would be to detoxify the Emperor first. That way, he can't use the Emperor to persecute us."
"Wait a minute, is Mu Shaoling's disappearance after the assassination attempt your plan to take the opportunity to go covert and detoxify the Emperor?"
