Outsiders thought it was just a rumor, but she knew very well that the Seventh Prince was not sick at all, he was poisoned. The Emperor had many princes, but he only had one legitimate son, so he naturally became the target of public criticism. If he wanted to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince, the first person he had to get rid of was the legitimate son of the Empress.
Speaking of which, the death of the Seventh Prince was somewhat related to her. Thousands of people searched everywhere for the antidote, and at the last moment only two ingredients were missing, and one of the two ingredients was with her. But even with her, he would still not survive if one was missing, so it didn't have much to do with her.
Thinking all this over, she could save herself a lot of trouble if she supported the Seventh Prince. After all, he was the Empress's eldest son and was very much loved. He was also a capable person. Moreover, it was said that the Emperor had been teaching him how to govern the country. Now that the Seventh Prince was in good health, it was only a matter of time before he was named the Crown Prince. Her biggest difficulty now was to find the last medicinal ingredient for him. Otherwise, he would die, and all her plans would be in vain.
She could also use the herb in her hand as a token of her allegiance. This was something that could be planned and there was no rush. The emperor was in good health now and could remain firmly on the throne for another five or six years. Five or six years was enough time for her to make plans.
She sent a pigeon to ask Shuohua to deliver the medicinal ingredient. The competition for the throne was not so obvious yet. With her advantage as a forefather, she could make a lot of preparations in advance.
