The father and sons split up to gather information.
Just as Prince Luling, Li Xing'an, and Li Xingsheng returned to the Wei Family and exchanged the information they gathered, Li Xingmao was still at the Cui Family, discussing matters of the palace in the study with Empress Cui's father.
Unlike Li Xing'an and Li Xingsheng, Li Xingmao did not need to disguise himself or hide his identity.
He went directly to the Cui Mansion.
Empress Cui was being suppressed by the concubine, Princess Consort Yu Wen, and was now entangled in the Emperor's poisoning incident. It was also found that Empress Cui had been poisoned too. The situation was confusing, causing worry and anxiety among the Cui family, who felt helpless.
The Lu Ling Royal Mansion and the Cui Mansion were on good terms. When Li Xingmao knocked on the Cui Mansion's doors, the Cui family welcomed him warmly as if they had seen a savior.
