Queen Mother Shen was slightly surprised: "What did you do?"
Mu Yunhan dipped his hands in tea and wrote a line on the table: "The second son of the emperor has been sent away."
The second son of the emperor, Zhao Qing, was born to Concubine Xi. Ever since Zhao Xing's accident, the mother and son had been under house arrest in the palace and were not allowed to show their faces.
He was not even allowed to cry for Zhao Xing. The reason given by King Shou was that Concubine Xi was causing trouble to Lord Mei. In fact, he did not want others to see the second son of the emperor.
In this way, sooner or later the second son of the emperor will die silently.
In this way, King Shou lost another threat.
Mu Yunhan has not made any big moves these days, and even has a tendency to lower her profile and make peace with King Shou, but she has been planning this matter in private.
The Jade Seal of the State is gone, but not all edicts require the Jade Seal of the State. It can be delayed for a while if it is kept secretive.
But the safe escape of the second son of the emperor is another matter. Even if Yan'er dies, the others can still support the second son of the emperor.
Rather than having an uncontrollable little emperor, it is definitely better to grasp the ready-made one in hand.
Yan'er's safety is further protected, and it can also give the Zhao royal family an extra chance of survival.
Concubine Xi was originally Gu Fenglin's person, so this matter was done smoothly and without any resistance.
Queen Mother Shen's eyes were complicated: "When did you do it?"
Mu Yunhan had never discussed such a big matter with her, or even let her know the slightest bit. It was hard not to think too much about it.
Mu Yunhan whispered: "There are too many people and it is not safe in the palace. I was afraid that if I told you in advance, the news would leak out and ruin the matter, so I didn't mention it. Please forgive me."
Empress Dowager Shen thought the same thing and said: "How can I blame you? It's too late to thank you. But don't let others know about this, otherwise it will be detrimental to you."
Just as he was talking, someone from the palace said: "The Prince Regent is here."
The two of them calmed down and sat upright. Mu Yunhan quickly arranged the appearance of Empress Dowager Shen, and then said: "Please."
Prince Shou walked in slowly, glanced at Mu Yunhan first, then cast his gaze on Queen Mother Shen's face, and gave a false smile: "I heard that Queen Mother Feng was unwell, so I came here to visit her."
Empress Dowager Shen said calmly: "The Prince Regent will say it directly. There is no need to say these polite words."
King Shou then darkened his face and said with a hint of threat: "There are no outsiders here. How on earth do you want to agree to negotiate peace?"
Empress Dowager Shen said: "Since you asked me, I will tell you directly. This morning, I was ready and wanted to agree, but something happened before leaving the house, which forced me to I had to change my mind.”
It’s just that Grandma Lu is dead.
This was an important person to Empress Dowager Shen, and his life and death were all matters of concern. King Shou had known about it for a long time, and he could even vaguely guess who did this.
He smiled complacently: "It's just a trivial matter. The queen mother wants to seek peace for the Shen family and the people around her, right? I should do my best to do so."
"I want Lin Mi's life." Empress Dowager Shen said unceremoniously.
King Shou's face froze, this was a bit embarrassing for him.
Empress Dowager Shen said contemptuously: "Don't you dare? The Lin family has the final say now? You are a small woman who has used your name to cause trouble several times, but you have tolerated it. This shows that the Lin family is really powerful.
Just treat what I just said as if I didn’t say it, and don’t come to me in the future. If you push me too hard, I’ll jump off the Chengde Gate. For the time being, your surname is not Zhao in this world.”
