Back then, during the dragon boat race, Lady Chu's brother was determined to make a name for himself.
But he deviated from the path due to his narrow-mindedness, leading to his eventual obscurity.
After all this time, if the Emperor hadn't mentioned him, she might not have remembered this person.
"He was taken away by people of Hui Xian and given to that demon path, used as bait, becoming a pile of bones to extend the Prince Consort's life."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyi could immediately picture the scene.
She couldn't help but retch.
A perfectly healthy person, gone just like that.
Used as bait—a terrifying thought.
Once, due to the Dong Family's penchant for traveling to the Southwest in search of medicine,
Lin Wanyi had some knowledge of peculiar medical practices.
But using human flesh as bait was something she had never heard of.
"The Prince Consort must have a strong stomach."
"Perhaps he was still in the dark, deceived by Hui Xian."
