Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Palace.
Qian Renxue did not carry out the Crown Prince's usual duties of reviewing the various troublesome memorials. She had even removed her disguise, cultivating with her eyes closed in the Crown Prince's chambers in her true appearance and white dress.

The overall situation in the Heaven Dou Empire had now basically been settled. The only surviving princes were Xue Qinghe, whom Qian Renxue was impersonating, and Xue Beng, who had been mentally broken by Mo Ning and driven insane. Undoubtedly, some ministers, such as Prince Xue Xing, believed that the deaths of the princes had been caused by Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue's disguise.
But now, Xue Qinghe was undoubtedly the only prince who could inherit the throne. Even Prince Xue Xing could not possibly place someone incapable of caring for himself upon the throne. He could only watch as Qian Renxue won over the people's hearts. The group of ministers he had originally organized and led had also been "dismissed" by him, leaving them free to remain neutral or join Qian Renxue's camp.
However, under these circumstances, Qian Renxue had not rushed to poison Xue Ye to death. Her plan to "steal the nation" now faced virtually no obstacles, but likewise had no "cover" left. If Xue Ye were poisoned to death, she would be the sole greatest beneficiary. Unless Prince Xue Xing took the opportunity to raise troops in rebellion, there was no way she could clear herself of suspicion. It could not possibly have been Xue Beng, that publicly acknowledged—and genuinely—idiotic fellow, could it?
Therefore, Qian Renxue did not use poison this time. Instead, she changed methods.
