Mu Yunhan waited until dawn and felt extremely sleepy before closing his eyes.
However, not long after I fell asleep, I heard footsteps outside.
"Madam, the two princes are back!"
Da Mi hurriedly opened the door and brought some clothes for her to put on.
Mr. Mu Er and Mr. Gu were sitting in the flower hall having breakfast. Both of them devoured their food and were sweating profusely.
Mrs. Mu Er and others gathered around, talking all over the place, their eyes were red, and they kept arguing.
Mu Yunhan walked in and said in a deep voice: "Please step aside, let them eat quietly, and boil some hot water to prepare. I must not have slept a wink all night."
Master Mu Er drank the soup in the bowl, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Not only did I not sleep a wink, I only had a sip of water and food from yesterday afternoon until now."
Mrs. Mu Er began to cry again: "It will be great if you come back alive. What does it mean if you don't eat or drink?"
Mu Jin quickly stopped her: "I told you not to make trouble, why are you crying again? I was really worried, so I went to arrange hot water and make the bed so that dad could have a good rest."
Mrs. Mu Er then left.
Mu Jin and Gu Fengbo persuaded the others to leave, leaving a place for Mu Yunhan and others to talk.
Mr. Gu put down his bowls and chopsticks first and talked about what happened yesterday.
They arrived outside the palace gate together with Prince Li. A eunuch soon came out of the palace and invited them in.
It's not that we are not afraid, but at this point, everyone has no way out.
The ministers who stayed outside shouted that if they did not come out safely after an hour, they would think that the emperor had really been assassinated and someone was treasonous.
So they went in.
King Shou and Queen Mother Shen met with the emperor's eldest son and clearly informed them that Zhao Xing had been stabbed to death by Queen Zou.
Empress Dowager Shen cried and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and we orphans and widowers didn't know what to do. Because we were afraid of chaos, we ordered people to blockade the palace for the time being and summoned King Shou to the palace to take charge of the overall situation."
King Shou cried bitterly: "No one could have imagined that such a great misfortune would happen. As soon as I heard the bad news, I fainted from pain on the spot.
But what should we do? Among the close relatives of the clan, I am the only adult male left. Even if I am suspected and stigmatized, I still have to stand up.
The country cannot be without a master for a day. You have come at the right time. My opinion is to make Zhao Yan, the eldest son of the emperor, the emperor and inherit the throne."
There is no doubt about the establishment of Zhao Yan, the eldest son of the emperor, as emperor. Everyone has no opinion.
But Zhao Xing's death is an unsolved mystery. It is said that he was assassinated by Queen Zou. What was the reason for the assassination?
The motivation and the process are all things that need to be clarified.
Because this may be related to the matter of supervising the country. If this matter is related to King Shou, he should be punished to eliminate the danger of him taking power and stealing the country.
So King Lijun asked on behalf of the ministers: "The Queen is pregnant and the Emperor and the Queen are so loving. Why did this happen?"
King Shou kicked the ball to Queen Mother Shen: "I was outside the palace at that time, and the Queen Mother was the one who witnessed what happened."
Queen Mother Shen just cried. After repeated questioning, she said: "I heard that the two of them were arguing and hurried over. What happened has already happened. The Queen said that there was a traitor plotting to kill Your Majesty, and she is also a victim..."
When everyone heard this, they realized that there was a traitor plotting to kill the late emperor, which meant that there was indeed something wrong!
Just as he was about to ask more questions, he heard King Shou say: "What I mean is that the three ministers will interrogate the queen and get to the bottom of it."
