Wu Wang was cunning, but at the end of the day, he was just a servant. Li Ji didn't plan on wasting too much thought on him.
Li Ji planned to pin a trumped-up charge on Wu Wang. He would arrest him without a second thought and then use the opportunity to thoroughly investigate his background and connections, hoping to unearth the true mastermind pulling the strings.
As a mere servant, Wu Wang had no reason to sow discord between the Emperor and Prince Dongyang. There was nothing in it for him.
The only reason he would go to such great lengths to stir up trouble was that he must be plotting something for the true mastermind behind him.
However, what Li Ji hadn't expected was that a major incident would occur in the Imperial Palace that very night.
This incident threw his plan into disarray.
That night, the Emperor was staying in the Moon Viewing Pavilion.
