Yu Wenquan's expression tightened again. After a moment of silence, he said, "Continue."
Chu Ruoyan said, "So, someone had already placed this lid in the herbs containing the clove powder beforehand, tainting it with the dust and scent of cloves. The first time, because the dosage was small, Yuan Qian's condition slightly improved after taking the decoction, but overnight he developed a reaction to the cloves, cried incessantly, and showed symptoms of convulsions."
"..."
"But this time, the mastermind increased the dosage, intending to kill Yuan Qian!"
Yu Wenquan said gravely, "Who is it?"
Upon his inquiry, Chu Ruoyan quieted down, while Shang Ruyi raised her head, solemnly meeting Yu Wenquan's serious gaze, and said, "The person who orchestrated these actions is the same one who falsely accused me of having an affair with Sun Xianyue. The purpose was to have Father Emperor confine me, so they could take this opportunity to act against Yuan Qian!"
"..."
