Chapter 2514 It is most appropriate for you to preside over
"Empress Dowager Shen refused to interrogate the empress together, and was only willing to order a few veterans to interrogate the empress alone."
Mr. Gu sighed: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Empress Dowager Shen is very afraid of Prince Shou. She has not yet finished speaking. I want to try to see her alone, but unfortunately I have never been able to do so."
Mr. Mu Er also said: "I have the same view. I quietly reminded Prince Li in private, and Prince Li said he knew it."
Then everyone's attention fell on which people would interrogate Queen Zou, and how to stabilize the overall situation and organize the funeral.
This dispute lasted until dawn.
Empress Dowager Shen suffered from exhaustion several times and fell asleep leaning on her chair, only to be woken up by King Shou.
"The King of Shou held the eldest son in his arms all the time. He never put the child down whether he was eating, drinking or sleeping. He would only let him go a little when he was about to relieve himself."
Mu Yunhan frowned. This was coercing the emperor to order the princes. Everyone must have seen it, but the current situation is that no one can catch the flaws and mistakes of King Shou.
This is going to be fatal. The emperor's eldest son is only two or three years old, the emperor's second son is still in his infancy, and the other fetus has not yet been born. It is not yet known whether it is a boy or a girl.
Under such circumstances, how could Queen Mother Shen dare to challenge King Shou?
"How is the eldest son of the emperor?" Mu Yunhan thought of Yan'er's cute appearance, and felt a pain in his heart.
Mr. Gu said: "The eldest son of the emperor is very sensible. He never cried once and was very quiet. He was playing with toys in his hand, as if he didn't understand adult matters at all.
But I think he may not understand at all, otherwise it is very common for such a big child to cry. If he is held for a long time, has difficulty sleeping, or feels uncomfortable, he will cry.
If you don’t cry, you’re either scared, or you’re too sensible to cry.”
Mu Yunhan sighed: "Who will be appointed to interrogate Queen Zou?"
Mr. Mu Er said: "Prince Lijun, Shangshu Shen Guang of the Ministry of Punishment, and Prime Minister Pei Youzhong were appointed by the Queen Mother, but King Shou has not expressed his position, saying that it needs further discussion."
These three people were the most trusted people by Zhao Xing when he was alive. Empress Dowager Shen chose them to interrogate Empress Zou, most likely to convey information and hope to turn things around.
If King Shou doesn't express his position, it will definitely be unsatisfactory.
Mu Yunhan said: "This matter still needs to be dealt with, let's just watch."
Just as he was talking, Xiaomi came in and said: "All the imperial guards guarding the door have retreated. We have ordered all the wives of officials above the fourth rank to enter the palace to mourn."
Immediately afterwards, Cui Yuan, the chief steward, came quickly: "The palace envoy is here and wants to see my wife."
Mu Yunhan looked at each other, Mr. Gu and others, returned to his residence and lay down before ordering someone to invite the palace envoy in.
The one who came was Liang Tianshui, Eunuch Jin's apprentice, who was also familiar with Mu Yunhan in the past.
Accompanied by Mr. Gu, he stood in front of the couch and sighed to Mu Yunhan: "Why did Madam fall ill at this critical moment? The priest is not here, and many important things are waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation."
Mu Yunhan said feebly: "The Queen Mother and the ministers are involved in everything. What can a little girl like me do?"
Liang Tianshui sighed: "Madam, you are too humble. You must have heard about the reason for His Majesty's assassination. Now we need to interrogate the Queen to find out the truth and calm people's hearts.
After discussing with Prince Shou and other ministers, the Queen Mother agreed that it would be most appropriate for you to take charge of this matter."
Is she here to preside over the interrogation of Queen Zou?
Mu Yunhan had a cold face and remained silent. This was because he was persistently trying to win her into the palace.
