Due to panic, Luo Yiyun was even more eager for Baili Kai to die sooner so that Baili Qi could ascend to the throne before the heir to the throne is taken away.
Thus, when she poisoned Baili Kai, she doubled the dosage compared to the original plan.
The heart of a venomous woman, she exemplified it perfectly.

Baili Qi had his work reduced significantly, leaving him more idle, while Baili Mu became exceptionally busy.
Baili Qi dared not cause any trouble and spent his days with a group of dissolute friends, drinking away his worries, only to endure all sorts of criticism and beatings from Luo Yiyun after getting drunk.
His life suddenly became more aimless than before, and Luo Yiyun was filled with frustration and resentment, ultimately becoming more determined to take Baili Mu's life.
Only with Baili Mu dead would no one contend with her son for the heir to the throne.
