Empress Zou pursed her lips and said: "The person who killed your majesty was a person from the Qi State. King Shou colluded with the people of the Qi State in an attempt to usurp the throne and steal the country!"
Pei Youzhong said sternly: "Queen, please be careful what you say! There are rumors in the palace that you are having an affair with someone..."
"I didn't!" Empress Zou suddenly screamed and tried to get off the couch in excitement, but she had no strength and fell directly to the ground.
Without the cover of the brocade quilt, everything was exposed to the public.
Mu Yunhan took a breath of cold air.
Queen Zou's skirt was wrinkled and dirty, with old and new blood stains all over it, and it smelled terrible.
There were blood stains everywhere on the couch, which had dried and formed into dark brown lumps.
And when she moved, new blood soaked out.
All the men turned their heads sideways, not daring to look further.
The two palace guards stood aside indifferently.
Queen Zou lay on the ground, unable to recover for a long time, just gasping weakly.
Mu Yunhan took a step forward and stretched out his hand towards her.
Queen Zou looked at the slender hands that were as green as jade in front of her, and she was a little distracted. After a long time, she said softly: "No, it will make your hands dirty."
She stretched out her hand, and her fingertips were covered with dried blood. The occasional clean nails were also bluish-white with gray in them.
"In the past few days, I have never washed my hands, face or changed clothes. If I were not afraid of dying, I would probably not have any medicine, water or food. The meaning of my life is to clear the suspicion of King Shou."
Queen Zou struggled to sit up, leaned against the couch, and smiled miserably.
"When I was in Qi State, I thought I was miserable enough. But today I know that I was really happy before."
She cried bitterly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Brother Xing, Brother Xing, I'm sorry for you, I was wrong, I was wrong... I regret it so much..."
She cried so hard that she had long forgotten what the queen's etiquette was, and she had lost her former pride and domineering attitude.
Shen Guang and Prince Li couldn't bear to look any further, so they both lowered their eyes and sighed silently.
Pei Youzhong frowned impatiently: "Queen! Are you admitting that Your Majesty was stabbed to death by you?"
Queen Zou ignored him and just mourned and cried.
Pei Youzhong looked around, suddenly rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and slapped Queen Zou hard, and cursed angrily: "You vicious woman! Your Majesty loves you so much, but you kill your king and your husband, how can you be the mother of the country and worthy of being the mother of the country?"
wife!"
Queen Zou was beaten so hard that she fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Pei Youzhong wanted to fight again, but Prince Li grabbed his hand and frowned: "Prime Minister Pei, the truth has not yet been determined. She is still the mother of the country, so you should not take action."
Pei Youzhong threw away Prince Li's hand and said angrily: "Everyone who finds a traitor and a traitor will punish him..."
Shen Guang said calmly: "Do you want to kill the rebellious ministers and traitors, or do you want to take advantage of the situation and use force to intimidate and prevent the real culprits from being exposed?"
Pei Youzhong sneered: "What do you mean?"
Just as Shen Guang was about to continue arguing with him, Mu Yunhan took a step forward and said, "Prime Minister Pei has a big idea. How about you try this case alone and we take the first step?"
What King Shou wanted was to use the hands of Mu Yunhan and others to clear him of the charge of regicide. Pei Youzhong was the only one to try the case, so this goal could not be achieved.
Pei Youzhong immediately stopped his hand and said with an apologetic smile: "Madam, you are joking, this is everyone's business, how can I do it alone? It's all my fault for having such a bad temper. I have tolerated her for a long time!"
After saying that, he glared at Queen Zou fiercely and said in a vicious voice: "Queen, I advise you to think twice before you act."
