want to protect you, I will definitely protect you.
The reason why I asked you is because the people who threatened you are already suspected by me.
This is your only chance to get rid of them.
Think carefully.
If you can’t produce evidence, I can’t deal with that group of people.
You and your son will never have peace in your lives!”

The Empress’s worries were right.
Madam Tan did not dare to betray her and the State Preceptor Hall because the Helian family could not resist them.
However, the Emperor was clearly telling her that the once glorious and favored Empress had lost favor with the Emperor.
As long as she did not have the Emperor’s love, what was the Empress?

In just an instant, Madam Tan walked out of the shadow of the threat.
She bent her knees and knelt on the ground.
“Yes, I did it.
I poisoned the general and crippled his martial arts.”

Even though he had guessed that this would be the outcome, when he really heard Madam Tan admit it herself, it still shocked the Emperor.
“Why did you do this?”

Madam Tan lowered her eyes and said bitterly, “Will His Majesty believe me?”

The Emperor looked down at her and said, “Whether I believe it or not is my business, but if you don’t say it, I won’t even have a chance to believe you.”


Madam Tan was convinced.
She nodded and said sadly, “Because if I don’t cripple his martial arts, they’ll take his life!”

“You believe this?” The Emperor frowned unhappily.
Helian Beiming was the Divine General of Nanzhao.
His martial arts were peerless.
Was he so easy to scheme against?

“They have already poisoned him,” Madam Tan said.

The Emperor was stunned.

Madam Tan said self-deprecatingly, “Your Majesty, do you still remember that not long before his accident, you invited him to the imperial study to discuss military affairs? At that time, his tea had already been poisoned.”

That was indeed the case.
That year, there were bandits in the east.
The Emperor planned to send Helian Beiming to eliminate the bandits and summoned him to the imperial study to discuss the day of the expedition.
Because something happened to Helian Beiming a few days later, the Emperor still remembered that summoning.

The Emperor frowned fiercely.
“Why is there poison in my tea?”

Madam Tan said sarcastically, “Did the Empress come?”


The Emperor felt as if he had been hit in the head.

The Empress… was here! She brought over a plate of snacks.
They were made by the chef in her bedchamber.

Did-did she actually poison Helian Beiming at that time?
