Chapter 286: Won't Disappoint Her

Su Bin was left in a state of shock upon receiving Qin Zhenzhen's clandestine missive.

However, what caught her attention was the Emperor's disconcerting demeanor—it appeared as though he had fallen victim to a subtle, slow-acting poison. This insidious toxin was exceedingly challenging to detect, employing the principle of gradual consumption to surreptitiously advance its malevolent agenda. As time elapsed, finding a cure would prove to be a formidable task.
