"Eunuch Guo, Zhen wants you to report what you found out just now," Emperor Xianglong Wei said in a cold, freezing voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Guo said, then began explaining. "A soul-entangling grass was found at the bottom of the pond in Qianhua Xianchi Garden," Eunuch Guo said.
Mei Liang wasn't too surprised, because she had discovered the soul-entangling grass when she was trying to "save" Imperial Concubine Jing and Xia Meiren. She just hadn't known which of the two was responsible, or whether they had planned it together.
It doesn't matter who did it. The fact that the soul-entangling grass was hidden there means one or both of them were prepared to kill her today.
She turned her gaze toward Imperial Concubine Jing, observing her face carefully. She only saw a look of shock there—almost too perfect. Then she turned to Xia Meiren, who also wore a surprised expression.
