The coronation ceremony of the new emperor was held in Huangji Hall.
When Mu Yunhan arrived, the ceremony had already passed, and a group of people were hooting, just in time to argue about who was the real murderer.
As soon as Mu Yunhan stepped into the hall, he heard Pei Youzhong shout loudly: "Mrs. An Guo is here! Listen to what she says!"
Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan walked in slowly and took in the full view of everyone's performance.
But when I saw Yan'er Xiaoxiao sitting alone on the dragon chair, her eyes were empty, her expression was blank and dull, and she was indescribably pitiful.
Behind the beaded curtain on the left side sits Queen Mother Shen, and on the right side sits King Shou.
Queen Mother Shen's expression could not be clearly seen through the curtain. King Shou was serious but could not hide his excitement.
Mu Yunhan walked to the front of the dragon throne and saluted: "My wife, I see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Yan'er's eyes suddenly showed a bit of light, and he widened his eyes and stared at her intently.
Mu Yunhan smiled at him, tears welled up in his eyes, he jumped off the throne and was about to walk towards her.
King Shou quickly grabbed him, stretched out his big hands and forced him back to the dragon chair, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we are discussing this matter now, you can't wander around!"
Yan'er glanced at King Shou timidly, her lips pursed and ready to cry.
King Shou raised his eyebrows unhappily: "Your Majesty! Have you forgotten what I said to you?"
He lowered his voice and whispered a few words into Yan'er's ear. Yan'er pursed her lips and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were full of fear and she didn't dare to move or cry.
Only then did King Shou let go of his hand with satisfaction, looked at Mu Yunhan and said, "Mrs. An Guo, you came just in time. Just now everyone asked who the real culprit was who assassinated the late emperor. No one believed the words of Prince Li and Prime Minister Pei. Can you please You tell them what the truth is."
Mu Yunhan looked around, but saw that everyone was either filled with indignation, some were frightened, or some were hesitant and worried, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and said, "I don't understand what the prince and Prime Minister Pei just told everyone?"
Prince Li said: "To be honest, let me tell you, the queen said that the real culprit was not King Shou, but a native of Qi. She also said that she should be the one."
This statement obviously did not please King Shou. Since it is not him, why should he be involved?
What do you mean, it's her, right? She looked like she was giving in.
The officials once again made a buzzing sound of discussion.
Mu Yunhan said: "Why don't you let the Queen explain this issue in public?"
King Shou had the same plan and said: "That's fine."
He threatened Queen Zou again last night. He thought that woman was afraid of death and did not dare to speak nonsense for the sake of her own life and that of her family.
Not long after, Queen Zou was carried up.
The ministers looked at her with complicated eyes, and many loyal ministers really hated her.
Empress Zou lay on the soft chair and said expressionlessly: "If you ask me about the truth about the assassination of the late emperor, I will tell you now in front of everyone."
She looked at King Shou and said, "This matter has nothing to do with King Shou. It was the hand of my maid Xifu."
King Shou raised the corners of his lips slightly, as long as it was proven that he had nothing to do with him, then he would be the regent.
But I heard Queen Zou continue: "As far as I know, Xifu had an old relationship with King Shou in his early years, and he even had contacts with people from Qi..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" King Shou suddenly realized that something was wrong, stood up suddenly, glared at Queen Zou and threatened her in a deep voice.
Empress Zou smiled strangely: "This is a conspiracy. The late emperor was kind and never thought of guarding against his relatives..."
