Jiang Qingmei froze on the spot.
She couldn't very well say the Eldest Princess was behind it all. From any angle, she was the more likely culprit.
But—
"I knew of Your Majesty's old illness, but I truly didn't do any of those things!"
Jiang Qingmei was both furious and frantic. "What reason would I have to take such a risk!?"
Everyone exchanged glances.
'She... she seems to have a point.'
For all these years, Jiang Qingmei had enjoyed the Emperor's unending favor, and Xiao Chengxuan was held in high regard by His Majesty. As long as nothing went wrong, that position would have been his sooner or later.
Jiang Qingmei really had no sufficient motive to do this.
But if it wasn't her, who could it be?
The Eldest Princess and Emperor Muwu were born of the same mother and shared a deep bond. Furthermore, her status at court was exceptionally high, making it even more impossible for her to have done such a thing.
