Now the Emperor and the Song Family are at odds, naturally outraged and starting a thorough investigation into Song Xi's poisoning.

Mu Houchu pulled a corner of his lip: "That's how the imperial court works, with covert and overt struggles. It's about who can be more despicable, and who really cares? In the end, only the losing side knows how despicable the other party is, and outsiders only see the glory of the winners."

Mu Houchu curved the corner of his mouth; his little wife's thoughts were always in sync with his.
"Of course."
"What do you plan to do?"
