As all eyes suddenly focused on her, Liang Wan's brow twitched. She fought to suppress her panic and knelt again. "Today, I acted rashly and without decorum. I not only offended the young mistress of the Cao Family, but I also frightened the Empress. I admit my wrongdoing."
Gao Qian settled back into his seat, studying her for a moment before speaking with a thin smile. "You don't seem to fully understand what you've done wrong, do you?"
Liang Wan's back stiffened. His words clearly had a hidden meaning.
She composed herself and looked up at him, her face a mask of confusion. "I must ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."
Gao Qian propped his head up with one hand, glanced at the Empress, then let his gaze fall back on her face. "Why did you poison the Empress?"
Liang Wan was stunned, her eyes wide as she was rendered speechless.
