But why would Princess Yongning target her?
In her ears echoed the cold words of that stranger, "Only the dead can keep a secret."
What secret did she hold? She had but one secret, which was adding something into Xue Fangfei's wine during Mother Shen's birthday feast.
That was her secret!
Instantly, it all became clear why Princess Yongning would want her dead! Someone mysterious had threatened her to act against Fangfei, making her believe she was using poison, when it turned out to be something far more insidious. The identity of that person was unknown, but now it seemed very likely to have been Princess Yongning!
