She raised her head in confusion and looked at the night outside the window. Are they still discussing state affairs at this late hour? But the ministers were dressed in regular clothes, and it didn't look like they were discussing state affairs.
and……
Qiucao squinted her eyes and looked at the slightly angry expressions on the ministers' faces, and then moved her gaze to Mu Zi's embarrassed expression.
No matter how you look at this scene, it looks like the ministers are forcing the palace, rather than discussing state affairs.
Could it be that... the third prince is back so soon? [
Qiucao was startled, her hand holding the door frame did not tighten, and she continued to listen with bated breath.
Originally she shouldn't have listened, but looking at the sharp and oppressive gazes of the ministers and Mu Zi's frowning eyebrows, Qiucao found that she could not move at all.
She wanted to know what happened to make these ministers enter the palace together and face the king of a country with such expressions.
The huge square hall was silent.
After a long time, an old man with a gray beard standing in the front row said, "Your Majesty, by doing this, are you forcing us, the second prince's old men, to retire and return home early?"

They were all once ministers under the Second Prince. Ever since the Third Prince ascended the throne, they have been in constant fear, fearing that one day, now that they are the king, the former Third Prince would have them dismissed from office and ransacked their homes on a whim, accusing the Second Prince of being a party member.
