As Wufu had anticipated, since the matter involved the Emperor, much evidence was destroyed, and the situation was complicated. Besides Ah Jiu's investigation, both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were also looking into it, and a few inconspicuous eunuchs and palace maids had died for various reasons.
These different groups clashed, making the investigation somewhat unwieldy.
"Where were those people serving?"
"There was a palace maid from the Consort's palace, the rest were doing odd jobs and not serving directly in front of the noble guests." Yi Er glanced at the summary of information he held and said, "By the way, Lady Wan has suddenly taken to bed."
"Lady Wan?"
"In the middle of the night, the imperial physician was summoned, saying she had been poisoned by conflicting foods at the Imperial Banquet," Yi Er replied.
Ah Jiu and Wufu exchanged a look, could it be such a coincidence?
