Perhaps it was because she was getting older, or perhaps it was the sudden passing of the master she had served for many years, but Mother Xia's mind was becoming increasingly stubborn.
She thought that Wuya suddenly appearing in Cining Palace, causing the Empress Dowager to die of anger, must have been Su Luo's idea.
And that bowl of poison was not intended for the Empress Dowager, but to kill Lin Jin.
In this way, Su Luo would have no more rivals in the Inner Palace.
This matter, from every angle, benefitted Su Luo the most. She was the primary beneficiary, making her the most likely suspect behind the scenes.
Before the Empress Dowager died, she hoped to have Su Luo removed from the position of Empress.
Her unfulfilled wish now fell upon her faithful old servant to accomplish.
Mother Xia had worked in the palace for many years and was always the most reliable person for the Empress Dowager. Even His Majesty and the Empress had to show her some respect.
