"I am merely suspicious," Princess Consort Zhuang said, her expression tinged with anger. "After all, the plans for the palace banquet were already set. For the perpetrator to strike tonight, it's clear they want to prevent the banquet from taking place tomorrow. Empress Dowager, An Pin was fortunate enough to survive and is still hanging on by a thread. But if she had really... do you think the banquet tomorrow could possibly go on?"
Of course, it couldn't.
The Empress Dowager couldn't be bothered to be angry with Song Yunzhao right now, temporarily forgetting her desire to put her in her place. Staring at Princess Consort Zhuang, she asked, "You mean the person who attacked Shutong just wanted to stop tomorrow's banquet? But why? What's wrong with holding a palace banquet?"
"I don't know either." Princess Consort Zhuang also couldn't understand why anyone would go so far as to harm An Shutong just to stop the palace banquet.
