Before Empress Dowager Yu collapsed, she stared intently with confusion and resentment at Ma Gu, who had always stood behind her. It was because of Ma Gu's presence that Empress Dowager Yu never worried about her safety.
But this time, Ma Gu did not warn her that there was poison in the bowl, and she never expected that this useless, cowardly Liu Ruijing would dare to poison her.
Not only was Empress Dowager Yu caught off guard, but so was He Buning, leaving him kneeling there with a blank mind.
Only the nanny attending to Empress Dowager Yu was terrified, rushing to support her and turning to shout outside.
"Someone...!"
Before the old nanny could finish, Emperor Ruijing picked up the paperweight on the table and smashed it, blood splattering on the spot.
Ma Gu lowered her eyes, and no one knew the expression on the face under the mask.
Struggling, Empress Dowager Yu, eyes bloodshot, grabbed Emperor Ruijing's hem and asked unwillingly, "You... why..."
