The thin official shouted angrily: "Who was drinking and joking with that thief? Why did you frame me, Mrs. Anguo?"
Mu Yunhan waved his hand: "Why is it a frame-up? You are a group of grown men in important positions who do not want to serve the country when the country is in crisis. Whether it is stealing the country or supporting justice, it should be your business. You are planning to use me as a woman.
Talking about things is really looked down upon. You keep saying that I am troublesome, but what did you do?"
Xiaomi said loudly: "The priest is not in the capital, but our wife did what she should do, and it is obvious to all. Do you think the reason for the two houses crying in the past two days is because someone suddenly couldn't figure it out?"
This is tantamount to pointing out that Mu Yunhan personally planned the incident.
Several officials looked ashamed.
Xiaomi flicked out a piece of yellow silk and said loudly: "On the order of the Queen Mother, our wife went to the palace to hear the Queen's assassination case. King Shou allowed our wife to come and go freely. What else do you want to say?"
Liang Tianshui interrupted Xiaomi unhappily: "Mrs. Anguo, it's time for you to enter the palace."
Mu Yunhan directly named Prince Li and Pei Youzhong: "You two are ministers and leaders of hundreds of officials. You must be willing to bear witness for me and ensure my safe return, right?"
Prince Li nodded: "My wife and I entered the palace together and came back together."
Pei Youzhong's eyes flickered and he said vaguely, "Yeah."
Mu Yunhan's move is equivalent to proving that her life safety is threatened by King Shou, and the rumors are self-defeating.
An official stood up, bowed deeply to Mu Yunhan, and said loudly: "I am willing to wait outside for Madam to return safely!"
Many officials followed suit and saluted: "We are willing to wait for Madam to return safely!"
Mu Yunhan returned the courtesy and said to Prince Li, "Your Majesty, please!"
Shen Guang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, hurried over at this time, wiping his sweat and saying, "I'm sorry, everyone, something has delayed me. I have kept you waiting for a long time."
After saying that, he winked at Mu Yunhan to reassure her.
Shen Guang had always been on good terms with Gu Fenglin in the past, and he was also someone Zhao Xing trusted very much. When Mu Yunhan saw him, he was determined.
The four of them entered the palace together and first went to pay homage to Queen Mother Shen and King Shou.
Empress Dowager Shen was half leaning on the phoenix chair, her hair was completely white, her expression was sluggish and very haggard.
Prince Shou sat on the chair to her left, looking full of energy and contentment, but deliberately frowning, showing a worried look.
"My beloveds, please come to your senses as soon as possible. I have to ask you to do your best in this matter." Empress Dowager Shen cast her gaze on Mu Yunhan with a sad look in her eyes.
Mu Yunhan made eye contact with her, looked straight ahead calmly, and said, "Being loyal to the country is what you should do."
Empress Dowager Shen nodded and said with some embarrassment: "This matter involves too many secrets and is embarrassing. Please think carefully when dealing with it. Don't let the murderer go, but don't damage the reputation of the late emperor."
Prince Li said sincerely: "That's natural. Don't worry, Madam."
Empress Dowager Shen said: "Okay, you go."
King Shou suddenly said loudly: "Everyone, you must get to the bottom of this matter and let the truth be revealed to the world! Avenge your majesty!"
Queen Mother Shen said angrily: "Prince Shou, what did you forget to promise me?"
King Shou refused to give in: "Are we going to let the late emperor die in an unknown way? Rumor has it that I committed regicide to seize power, and I don't want to bear this infamy!"
