Hearing this, Lin Wanyi finally understood.
The Emperor had mentioned earlier that the selection process was to be used to lure out the person behind the scenes.
She just didn't expect that these two were individuals she had carefully examined before, and there shouldn't have been any issues.
Yet, the Emperor had uncovered the matters behind them, which truly frightened her and filled her with doubt.
"Your Majesty, how could they..."
"Do not underestimate the person behind this; previously, I was indeed short-sighted and didn't see her abilities."
"Her?"
"Yes, an old acquaintance perhaps."
"Who?"
"Consort Qian."
"What?"
Lin Wanyi was clearly a bit shocked by this; over the years, she had almost forgotten this person.
If the Emperor hadn't mentioned it today, she would never have thought it was related to Consort Qian.
After some thought, she spoke.
"Is it for the Spirit King (Third Prince)?"
