Who was Concubine Wen Ji?
That was the only question that kept appearing in the emperor's mind as he blankly stared at the names on the list in his hands.
There were a total of seventeen names on the list. Some of them were his sons and daughters, while the others were his wives.

Emperor Quan was not surprised to see this name; instead, he found it logical: "They are indeed playing a long game." He said with solemnity. "Instead of directly controlling me and taking a chance, they are targeting the next emperor."
Saying this, he let out a heavy sigh, burdened with emotions, "Which also means they either have plans to get me out of the way. But doing so this soon would only draw suspicion towards the prince."
