Wu Hire was poisoned to death, the poisoner is the king, Du Mingli and Hu Yongmei are not murderers.
Episode 71 of Flowering Moon explains the truth of Wu Hire's death. With the letters seized in Ronghe, Zhao Baishi carefully deduced that the truth of the old case back then surfaced.
After everything is tied together, the king is the one who really wants to put the Wu family's eastern courtyard to death. Whether it's Du Mingli, Shen Sihai or Cha Kun, they are all just pawns on this chessboard.
Looking at Cha Kun's weapon, Zhou Ying instantly thought of something and immediately ran back to the East Courtyard. Among all the things left behind by Wu Hui, there was a drawing that he used to track down the murderer back then.
Zhou Ying asked Fu Lai about the situation back then, and quickly understood that Wu Hai had mistakenly discovered that the real culprit was Cha Kun on the day of his death, which led to his tragic death.
If, Wu Hire did not ask that one more sentence, it will not die soon. Zhou Ying's eyes are all sighs and regrets. All of these things originated from the king alone. Although he was in a position of power, Zhou Ying's desire for revenge had not diminished by half.
She brought offerings to see Wu Weiwen, and as she approached, she found Shen Sihai kneeling in front of the grave. After all the ups and downs, he too is determined to rebel against the king for the humiliation he has suffered.
Despite being powerless and having a life like an ant, a mortal has his own mortal persistence. Shen Sihai secretly collected all the accounts about the king for the coming day.
