King Sheng's voice came to an abrupt halt.
He looked at Zhao Zhiyi, incredulous, and said, "I have watched you grow up since childhood. We have known each other for twenty years, yet you choose to trust an outsider you've known for half a year over your own elder brother?"
Zhao Zhiyi did not answer his question directly, and instead said, "Who gave you that Gu Insect?"
King Sheng looked into her eyes and saw something in her gaze.
His heart sudden grew cold.
She already knew that he was the one who planted the Gu.
That black-robed man clearly said this move would be foolproof: once she was poisoned, she would never wake up, and even the State Preceptor couldn't trace it back to him. Even if it failed, he could still be the most carefree prince of Zhao Country.
But those were two lies in one statement.
Not only did she wake up, but he was also exposed.
Looking at her in her magnificent Dragon Robe, King Sheng ceased his denials.
