He Hongzhao vaguely guessed that Qi Wuya was covertly inquiring about Sang Yan.
She pretended not to know and only spoke about the poisoning incident in Quanzhou.
"Time was tight, the poison wasn't entirely successful, but it was enough to create chaos in Quanzhou for a while."
"Mhm."
Having not heard what he wanted, Qi Wuya asked, "Anything else? How did Emperor Da He respond?"
Seeing his keen interest, He Hongzhao thought for a moment and then revealed, "I thought he would abandon the city and flee, but unexpectedly, he stayed to face the disaster with Quanzhou, and it actually earned him a good reputation."
Listening, Qi Wuya put aside He Ying and thought of Sang Yan.
It must have been her who insisted on staying to face the calamity with Quanzhou.
That woman was always kind-hearted.
Yet she was harsh to him.
Thinking of her, his mood darkened.
