Chen Wangbei returned to Prince Zhao's residence and said respectfully,
"I have followed the Prince's orders and given Li Zhaoyuan a stern warning. She will certainly not dare to oppose you again."
Li Ji paid no mind to a foolish woman like Li Zhaoyuan.
He asked nonchalantly,
"Did you get to the bottom of the matter?"
Chen Wangbei replied, "Yes, I did."
He then recounted the entire story of how Li Zhaoyuan had come to suspect Hua Manman of placing a curse on people.
A dark glint flashed in Li Ji's eyes. "So you're saying it was because of Wen Zhaorong's and Yichongyuan's reminders that Li Zhaoyuan grew suspicious of Lady Hua?"
Chen Wangbei nodded. "Precisely."
Li Ji murmured softly to himself.
'Wen Zhaorong, or Yichongyuan... Which one could it be?'
Zilan had claimed she happened to overhear a conversation between Wen Zhaorong and Yichongyuan, and that the topic was, coincidentally, about Li Zhaoyuan.
Li Ji didn't believe in such a coincidence.
