Helan Lian furrowed his brows, then quickly relaxed them, "No worries, now that we're collaborating from inside and out, passing messages will be much more convenient."
Mingshu nodded, and the two exchanged some information they had on hand. Suddenly, she thought of something, "That cat going crazy out of the blue, was it because there was something wrong with the wine?"
Helan Lian touched his chin and gently nodded, "Yue Fuguang knew the Empress Dowager would tamper with it, but since she couldn't leave herself, she asked me to assist you. I didn't know what was in the wine, so I just switched the wine cups between the two of you on a whim."
He hooked his lips with interest, "The Empress Dowager should be thankful that the wine wasn't any lethal poison, otherwise she would be the one suffering the consequences right now."
Mingshu couldn't help but smile, "Getting clawed by a cat is punishment enough for her."
