"Master?"
Shi Qin noticed Empress Dowager Li's distress and hurriedly stepped forward, looking at her with a tense expression.
The master's mood was usually not good. Would she lose her temper this time? Even if she did, Shi Qin could only follow along and endure her wrath. If she dared to talk back, the anger might not subside.
"It seems I was wrong..." Empress Dowager Li took a deep breath, admitting her mistake for the first time, "I should have had them investigate first before making a move. Now..."
She looked at Shi Qin as she spoke, "Does Qi Junmu know that I sent people to assassinate him?"
Shi Qin thought for a moment and shook her head, "We did not expose our tracks or identities, but I can't guarantee he doesn't know. After all, he is so clever. Master, do you think he wouldn't have considered it?"
Empress Dowager Li fell silent for a long time before saying, "So he must already know we did it?"
Shi Qin nodded slightly, "At the moment, that's likely the case!"
