Chapter 174: Poison II?

"If you had found out about the poison, then you must also figure out how it was given to His Majesty. Is the incense stick I sent you last time, the carrier of the slow poison that you are talking about?" Yang Ning didn't beat around the bushes and ask the question which has been bothering her for the past few days. 

After sending the incense stick given by the Empress to Master Jiang, she was curious about the results of the investigation. She wanted to know if Yang Liangxin was behind His Majesty's worsening condition or not. If she is, then why was she trying to harm her husband? 

Wouldn't it lessen her powers in the Empire after the demise of His Majesty and Zheng Liang taking over the crown as the next Emperor? That's complicated. 

Even though she has read the novel, there are still many details that are still not clear in her head and she remembers only a part of it. If she is not wrong, the Empress must be related to the condition of His Majesty.
