Ye Jiushang sat on the main seat and took a sip of tea before saying coldly, "Speak."
Heilong opened his mouth after receiving the order. "The poison was administered by Her Highness the Consort Dowager herself. She switched the Empress's poison and feigned ignorance. Apart from Her Highness the Consort Dowager, her personal maid, Fuling, also knows about this. Her Highness the Consort Dowager likes Fuling. Especially in recent years, she almost treated her as her own daughter."
Heilong paused and glanced at Xue Fanxin before continuing, "Fuling is interested in Master and often revealed her feelings to Her Highness the Consort Dowager. She even said that she was willing to be a concubine. Her Highness the Consort Dowager knew the purpose of the Empress poisoning her, so she beat her at her own game and used the same method to lure Master out so that she could make Fuling happy."
