Hearing this, the eldest son of the emperor lowered his head and refused to look at Queen Zou.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Queen Zou's eyes, she looked at Queen Mother Shen, knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, I can't help you."
Empress Dowager Shen said with disgust: "I'm not the only one you're sorry for? I really regret marrying you for Xing'er! It's not an exaggeration to say that you have brought disaster to the country and the people!"
Queen Zou was lying on the ground, tears streaming from her eyes: "I didn't want him to die, really."
Prince Shou interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, your wish has been fulfilled. Can you tell us who the real murderer is?"
He gently pulled the emperor's eldest son over, gently stroked his tender neck with his hand, and said: "The emperor's eldest son will be enthroned tomorrow. He is smart and polite. My brother, the emperor, knows everything. He will be very happy."
Queen Zou's pupils shrank slightly and she sighed softly: "The real culprit is not King Shou, but a native of Qi."
King Shou suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Sister-in-law! I know you are afraid of affecting your reputation, but at this time, why are you still talking about what you have and what you don't?
You said he is from Qi, where is the evidence? This kind of matter involves diplomatic relations, and it cannot be settled by just talking!"
Queen Zou said: "That would be me."
Queen Mother Shen was surprised: "You..."
Empress Zou whispered: "It was me, yes, it was me, I was the one who caused it. I had a quarrel with His Majesty, and he wanted to depose the queen. In a fit of anger, I acted impulsively, and it was too late to do anything later..."
King Shou said: "Then can you tell the truth in front of all the officials tomorrow?"
"Yes." Queen Zou lowered her eyes without any expression.
King Shou sighed hypocritically: "One day is a blessing for a hundred days. You and the emperor are a couple in need. Why can't you think about it like this? Oh, poor emperor..."
He held the emperor's eldest son's shoulder and said: "The emperor's eldest son is tired, take him down to rest."
A powerful palace servant came up and pulled the emperor's eldest son out.
Queen Mother Shen's expression changed, humiliated and angry: "Prince Shou..."
King Shou raised his hand: "That's it. It's getting late. I'll have someone prepare a place for Mrs. Anguo and the others to stay. We'll go back after the enthronement ceremony tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he ran away like a dog chasing him and couldn't stop barking.
Mu Yunhan and others looked at each other in confusion.
King Shou was afraid that things would change, so he refused to let them leave. He was even more afraid that Mu Yunhan would be wrong if he tried to reason with him.
Empress Dowager Shen smiled bitterly: "Mrs. An Guo, if you want to leave the palace, I will risk my life to let you out..."
Mu Yunhan smiled lightly: "Don't worry."
She happened to have something she wanted to deal with. There were too many mysteries surrounding Zhao Xing's death, and how the jade seal fell into the hands of Queen Zou was also a question.
Queen Mother Shen then said: "Then you stay with me at night."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Mu Yunhan followed Empress Dowager Shen out. Empress Zou knelt in the courtyard blankly and was pulled up by the palace servants and pushed into the room.
When she walked to the door, she saw Queen Zou clinging to the door frame and looking in her direction with a gloomy expression.
Queen Mother Shen grabbed Mu Yunhan's hand and walked forward quickly with a sullen face.
When they arrived at the residence, Empress Dowager Shen let out a long breath, dismissed everyone, and fell down on the couch, telling Mu Yunhan: "Sit down too, everyone here is my people, you can rest assured."
Mu Yunhan sat down next to Empress Dowager Shen, thinking of all these things, he sighed: "You have suffered."
Queen Mother Shen's eyes were slightly red: "Thank you very much for your willingness to enter the palace. Have you hidden that thing?"
