Probably out of fear of being embarrassed if he stayed any longer, Mu Zhaozhang led Qiucao out without saying anything and returned to the palace.
So in the palace, the scene was once again staged where the emperor and the empress walked in front, while the palace servants followed behind.

Qiucao felt really embarrassed and ashamed towards the Queen Mother, but she couldn't say anything. After all, Mu Zhaozhu was still the Queen Mother's biological son. Even if he was a bad person, he would still rise up to protect Mu Zhaozhu after hearing the news that he might assassinate her.
Bar.
So after the ceremony, Qiucao didn't say anything, and followed Mu Zhaochu out.[
Along the way, she didn't look at Mu Zhaozhu, so she didn't know what his expression was like, let alone what his mood was like. The only thing Qiucao was interested in knowing was where Mu Zhaozhu kept Mu Zi.
So as soon as he returned to the palace, Qiucao immediately asked Mu Zhaochu for his previous promise and let Mu Zi go without waiting for the etiquette officer to explain the next thing.
However, Mu Zhaozhen just glanced at her, said, "If you don't want anything to happen to Muzi, it's best not to ask so many questions," and left.
Qiucao sat there slumped in a daze. Even though he knew before entering the palace that Mu Zhaozhang was not a trustworthy person at all, and had thought about such an outcome, things really happened as expected, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.
Seeing Qiucao sitting there in a daze without any anger, Xiao Hong quickly comforted her, "Queen, don't be like this. Even if your majesty... doesn't say anything, we will definitely have a chance to find out where King Mu is being held!"
Qiucao didn't answer her, and was stuck in her own thoughts. Seeing her like this, Xiaohong couldn't say anything more, so she could only stand there quietly to accompany her in her sadness.
However, God did not give this master and servant extra time to feel sad, because that night Mu Zhaochu visited Qiucao at the Lizheng Hall and did not give her a chance to ask questions, saying "I am very tired and not in the mood to listen to her nonsense."
He made excuses to reject all Qiucao's questions and fell asleep with her in his arms.
Qiucao was not used to such intimacy between the two, and subconsciously wanted to break away. However, although Mu Zhaochu had fallen asleep, her arms were still tightly locked on Qiucao's waist like iron pliers, making her unable to move.
