Looking at him like this, Cai Wei felt a wave of heartache. These two days must be the hardest days of his life. The pain of losing his mother already made him feel unbearable, yet he also had to endure accusations that his mother was angered to death by the woman he loved most. His inner turmoil had no outlet, coupled with the pressures from all ministers, surely he was on the verge of collapse!
Nangong Yi looked at Cai Wei, his throat moved slightly, but when he spoke, his voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible: "Are you saying, Imperial Mother... was murdered?"
"Exactly!"
Cai Wei nodded heavily: "The murderer who killed Imperial Mother might be the same as the one who killed Zhao Yue, because their method was to insert long needles into the heart, causing death. So, as long as the needle in the Empress Dowager's heart can be removed, it will prove my innocence!"
Won't removing the needle from the heart require cutting open the stomach?
