Qiucao stood there, unable to recover for a long time.
Outside the house, there was a buzz of people, and you could vaguely see the light of colored lanterns dyeing the sky a warm orange-red.
Qiucao stood there with a dull expression, looking at the sky quietly, and did not regain consciousness for a long time.
After a while, Qiucao finally moved. She slowly turned around and walked back to the room step by step.[
Mu Zhaoxu, who was changing her clothes, was startled when he saw her dejected look. He stopped what he was doing and went up to her, "Queen? What's wrong with you?"
Qiucao raised her head and looked at him for a while before calmly asking, "Did the Queen Mother... kill King Mu?"
Mu Zhaozhu's body trembled slightly and he did not answer her. He could probably guess where Qiucao got the news that King Mu had been executed by the Queen Mother, but he did not know where Li Gongchui got the news.
Was it the Queen Mother who handled it carelessly, or was the executioner in charge of the execution that day bribed?
Before Mu Zhaozhang could answer, Qiucao's hands began to tremble, and his hands and feet became weak, almost unable to stand. Qiucao gritted his teeth and held on, asking word by word: "Didn't you promise to let him go?"
?Why?"
Before she finished speaking, her vision went dark and she fainted.
Qiucao blinked and saw the familiar hibiscus tent, quilt, and Mu Zhaochu's frown.
She has returned to the palace.
Qiucao, who had no trace of blood on his face, struggled to sit up. After dismissing the palace and the imperial doctor present, he spoke in a low voice, seeming to ask but also seeming to blame himself, "Didn't you agree to let King Mu go?
Why is that right! I know, we must have shouted to leave the palace, so you killed him, right?!"
Mu Zhaochu pursed her lips tightly and wanted to open her mouth to tell the truth several times, but warnings kept ringing in her mind.
No, he couldn't say it. This matter was too involved. He didn't know what to say and couldn't say it.
His silence gave her the best answer. Qiucao's throat tightened and she growled like a wounded animal, "Answer me! Answer me that's not what happened!"
Mu Zhaozhen's face was expressionless and he didn't say a word.
