The Empress Dowager was furious upon hearing that her daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter had all been poisoned.
When Princess Duanhui mentioned that the Imperial Physician was at a loss and suggested seeking treatment from the Princess Consort Zhenbei, the Empress Dowager's face lit up with a mix of emotions like someone had spilled a palette of colors.
Nanny Li suspected that the poisoning of Princess Duanhui and the others was orchestrated by Su Jin.
But there were too many victims, not just them, but also maids and servants.
While they had contact with Su Jin, the maids and servants did not.
Moreover, the Imperial Physician had discovered that the poison was applied to the lanterns, and there was no way this could implicate Su Jin.
In front of the Empress Dowager, Princess Duanhui scratched incessantly, the sound making the Empress Dowager's scalp tingle.
Princess Duanhui desired to save face and thus went to the palace to seek the Empress Dowager's help.
