In the past, the king once told Ye Xunhuan that Qin Rumeng had something in her possession that could compel the protector to do her bidding.
Even though Ye Xunhuan had neither heard nor seen Qin Rumeng mention it, since these words came from the king's mouth, it was most likely true.
He wanted to reclaim it, take everything away, leaving Ye Xunhuan with no cards left in Huaxia. Then, dealing with Ye Xunhuan would be much easier, perhaps even twice the result with half the effort!
Faced with the king's ruthless calculation, Ye Xunhuan was utterly helpless.
Of course, if the king had truly been poisoned earlier, there might still be room for maneuver, but unfortunately, the poison had already been extracted by Lin Yuhai; everything was the king's act, all part of his scheme.
Moreover, he had completely cornered Ye Xunhuan, leaving not the slightest room for recovery.
