Chapter 770: It’s Time To Give Them Back

When Ling Lihua noticed her gaze, she immediately knew what she was thinking and said sarcastically, "Well, am I sorry for staying alive and disappointing the Empress Dowager! She's really pulled out all the stops, hasn't she? She thought that I was dead, but then I came back alive, so she sent her henchmen to assassinate me again and again because she was afraid that I'd cure His Majesty, but little did she know that he'd already been cured before I even came back. And she was arrogantly waiting for the poison to take full effect too. How hilarious!"

Matron Chen was horrified – so the Emperor had already been cured of the poison long before Madam Ling's return? Before this, the Empress Dowager had been so confident that the Emperor would not live until the end of the year, but she never expected that while she was conspiring against him, her plan had already fallen apart.

No wonder the Emperor was so ruthless this time.
