According to Liao Mu, this group of people had ambushed Shangguan Shu long ago. Could it be that they were heading for Shangguan Shu?

It seems that I have to wait for Shangguan Shu to wake up and ask him if he knows this group of people.

"How many interrogations have been conducted?" Zhao Ying asked the criminal officer.

"Your Highness, it's the sixth time."

"Still the same thing?"

"Yes."

Zhao Ying raised his finger and said coldly: "Then kill them all!"

The criminal officer was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "Your Majesty has handed this case over to His Royal Highness Prince Shou to preside over. Would you allow me to report to His Royal Highness Prince Shou..."

"No need, I will talk to the emperor's uncle."

"Then, I will obey your order."

When leaving the Ministry of Justice, Wei Fu laughed unexpectedly. Zhao Ying was puzzled and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The smile on Wei Fu's lips had not faded. "Nothing, I just felt that Yingmei was a little different from before."

Zhao Ying curled her lips slightly when she heard this, but did not comment.

There was a strong wind outside, so strong that people couldn't open their eyes.

Wei Fu was about to escort Zhao Ying to the carriage when Zhao Ying suddenly asked, "Cousin, if I am different from before, will you still treat me the same way?"

Wei Fu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Of course, no matter what you become, I will always...love you."

"What if there is a conflict between me and my father?"

"What?" Wei Fu was puzzled.

Zhao Ying didn't say anything more. She smiled softly and changed the subject. "Nothing. Just a joke."

There was no conversation along the way until they sent Zhao Ying into the palace. Wei Fu rode to Zhao Ying's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Sister Ying, no matter what you want to do, I will protect you."

After a long silence, Zhao Ying's voice rang out from the carriage, "Thank you..."

The next morning, Princess Side's family went to the palace to report the death of Princess Side.

At night, an arrow hit his chest through the window paper and he died on the spot.

Princess Side's husband was so frightened that he fainted.

There was no clue who had done it, but the captain of the police found a copper lock with blood on it nearby. He asked everyone in Princess Side's mansion, but no one claimed it. He thought the murderer must have dropped it without noticing.

When the news reached the Cining Palace, the empress dowager almost died from suffocation. Emperor Jianxi, Prince Shou, concubines, princesses, and other princes and nobles were guarding the Cining Palace. The empress dowager was about to wake up at 3 p.m.

As soon as she woke up, she pointed at Emperor Jianxi with red eyes and cursed him, saying that he had killed her son, so why did he want to harm her daughter? Her daughter died unjustly. Even if she went to hell, she would not let Emperor Jianxi go. She also omitted 10,000 words of curses at the end...

Emperor Jianxi felt wronged. He couldn't lose his temper with his stepmother in front of all his brothers. Moreover, Prince Shou knelt down and kowtowed to him, begging him not to bother with the Queen Mother, who was mentally damaged by the loss of her daughter...

Emperor Jianxi had no choice but to order a thorough investigation of the matter and to chop the murderer into pieces!

Then he left the Cining Palace and left the empress dowager to fend for herself.

Some things are just too scary to cause a fallout. Originally, Emperor Jianxi and the Empress Dowager maintained the mother-son relationship on the surface, and Emperor Jianxi did not dare to do anything to the Empress Dowager for the sake of his reputation. But this time, when the relationship fell out, Emperor Jianxi gave up completely and was unwilling to even put on a show. How could an Empress Dowager who was not favored by the Emperor have a good life?

Emperor Jianxi issued an order as soon as he returned, mentioning what the Imperial Observatory said, that the Cining Palace was in conflict with the Empress Dowager, which led to frequent murders in the palace. It happened that Princess Chengqian had just been assassinated... In order to ensure the peace of the Empress Dowager, he ordered to invite some magicians from outside the palace to perform rituals, and to visit her morning and evening, three times a day, until the Empress Dowager recovered.

The old man's illness requires quiet cultivation. Finding so many people to perform magic in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother must be crazy if she doesn't die. When the Queen Mother heard about this, she felt a little regretful. She had endured it for half her life, and now this happened...

Since the Queen Mother was unhappy, Prince Shou would naturally not be at ease.

The Queen Mother took out all the anger she had received from Emperor Jianxi on Prince Shou, scolding him for being useless, cowardly, and for watching his own mother suffer without doing anything. When she got too angry, she even slapped him a few times. Prince Shou had no choice but to endure it and remind the Queen Mother from time to time to take care of his body.

The Queen Mother cried, "It must be that Cheng Qian, that little bitch, was almost killed, and he thought it was me who did it, so he killed Si De to show me!"

"But I didn't do anything!"

"Perhaps the imperial sister was not killed by the imperial brother..."

"You!" The Queen Mother was so angry at Prince Shou's appearance, "How could I give birth to such a coward like you? If I had known earlier, I would have strangled you to death in the womb!"

"Mother!" Prince Shou growled, startling the Queen Mother.

Seeing the Queen Mother looking at him, Prince Shou became depressed again, "Mother, please be careful with your words..."

The Queen Mother sighed in dismay and said sadly, "He first killed your brother, then your woman, demoted your daughter, and now he has killed your own sister. When I am also pissed off to death by Zhao Rui, you will be satisfied. You can continue to be Zhao Rui's dog. Go away. I don't have a son like you! You don't have to come to me again in the future!"

"Mother!"

Prince Shou looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief. After a while, seeing that the Queen Mother was determined, Prince Shou slowly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you are sad. I will come to pay my respects when you feel better..."

At night, the Palace of Light.

Zhao Ying and the five children finished their meal. There was a commotion outside. Zhao Ying asked, "Where did the noise come from?"

Nanny Li replied, "Your Highness, it was from the Cining Palace..."

"The wizard is here so soon?"

"Your Majesty's order, how dare the people below neglect it?"

Shangguan Qingyue sat on a chair that was one level higher than the others, holding a large bowl in both hands, gulping down soup, his lips greasy. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Mother, I heard that there is a shaman dance at the Imperial Grandmother's place, I want to see it too!"

Zhao Ying had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and put some food into Shangguan Qingyue's bowl. "I can't even get into the Queen Mother's place. If you want to watch, when the Queen Mother is in a good mood, mother will call someone over to dance for you. How about that?"

Shangguan Qingyue thought about it, then shook his head, "Forget it then."

After saying that, the little guy lowered his head, [Who can dance the shaman better than my elder sister? Why should I watch others...]

Shangguan Qingwan: ...

Zhao Ying: ...

Shangguan Bailin: Phew…

Shangguan Qiyou: Wow, this elder sister is so amazing, she can even perform shaman dance.

"Shangguan Chengjing" held back from laughing. After all, her previous dancing moves were not very beautiful.

Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows and struggled with her words for a long time, trying not to hurt the child's self-esteem. "Wan'er, are you satisfied with the new dancer that mother hired for you? If not, mother will change you."

Shangguan Qingwan glanced at the culprit Shangguan Qingyue and shook her head, saying, "No need, mother. My daughter's dancing skills have improved recently. After dinner, I will dance for you!"

Shangguan Qingwan is full of confidence.

Zhao Ying still had some doubts.

Perhaps he understood what she meant, Shangguan Bailin said quickly: "That's right, mother, big sister really dances better than before. Big sister used to dance like a god, but now it's different..."
