"No! Your Majesty!" Upon hearing that an autopsy was required, the Queen cried anxiously, "Your Majesty, Yu'er was already pitiful enough. Now that he is gone, we, as his parents, should let him go peacefully and stop torturing his corpse!"

The queen cried heartbrokenly, "At most...at most, I will not pursue the responsibility of the regent. I only ask Your Majesty to let Yu'er go on his journey in peace and let him rest in peace!"

Although these earnest words may seem a little abrupt, they are full of a mother's deep sorrow and reluctance for the death of her son, which is understandable.

The ministers watched the queen crying her heart out and dared not say a word. At this time, they could only wait for the emperor to speak.

Shen Wanwan shook her head at the poor acting.

No one speaking?

Then I’ll tell you!

Shen Wanwan broke the silence and said bluntly: "The Queen's words are too much of a cover-up of the truth. Do you really pity the Seventh Prince's body, or are you afraid that the autopsy will reveal the truth?"

She cast a sharp gaze at the queen without flinching.

Upon hearing this, the Queen's hatred suddenly increased, and she glared at Shen Wanwan: "Miss Shen San, what exactly are you up to? You do have a personal relationship with the Regent, and since I have already stated that I will not investigate, why are you still pressing me?!"

At this moment, the queen wanted to chop this man into pieces!

She regretted it! She had only thought of killing the Regent halfway, but she had not expected that the biggest variable would be Shen Wanwan!

If she had known earlier, she would have killed this little bitch first!

I won’t be so passive now!

Shen Wanwan remained calm in the face of the Queen's pressure: "Am I the one who is pressing me? Since the Queen knows the relationship between me and the Regent, she should understand that it is my prince who is imprisoned! I want to ask you, Queen, why do you want to put my prince in prison based on the accusation of a servant who made up a lie?"

This game is what you said it would start!

But now, you can't say it's over!

When Xie Jingchuan heard the words "my prince" come out of Shen Wanwan's mouth, his heart skipped a beat.

At the beginning, there was really no other choice but to let Zizhu go to find Shen Wanwan.

He admitted that there was a gambling element in his intention. He just wanted to see if he was that important in Shen Wanwan's heart.

Even if Shen Wanwan is unreliable, he has a backup plan!

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Wanwan would go to such lengths to protect himself!

Shen Wanwan's reaction in the court today can be said to have completely offended the Emperor and the Empress!

"Brother Emperor, I have no complaints. I only hope that the true cause of the Seventh Prince's death can be found out as soon as possible and a fair explanation can be given to the deceased. This is the top priority."

He spoke frankly, bringing the focus back to the case itself, downplaying personal grudges and emphasizing respect for the deceased.

Although Shen Wanwan wanted to protect Xie Jingchuan, her words were inevitably radical.

But Xie Jingchuan's statement won the resonance of many ministers.

They began to discuss privately that perhaps the death of the Seventh Prince had no direct connection with the Regent.

The Queen and Shen Wuwen looked gloomy.

How could such a deadlock be broken by an outsider?

The queen even lost a son!

At this tense moment, a voice saying "Father, I also think that the priority should be to find out the cause of my seventh brother's death" broke the deadlock.

A voice as gentle as jade sounded, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Even Shen Wanwan looked around curiously, wanting to see who was so brave?

"Who is this?" Shen Wanwan asked quietly in Xie Jingchuan's ear.

Xie Jingchuan whispered in her ear: "Prince."

There was a hint of surprise in his tone. After all, the first person Shen Wanwan asked was him rather than the system.

Shen Wanwan fixed her eyes on the gentle and elegant young man with outstanding temperament, and secretly praised in her heart: [Tongtong, this prince is really good-looking! ]

When Xie Jingchuan heard this, his face darkened and he glared at Xie Mingxu fiercely.

What did he hear?

The person who just mentioned my prince is now saying that other men are good-looking?

"Prince! That's your own brother!" The queen looked at Xie Mingxu in disbelief. Anyone could say this, but how could her own son stand against her!

Xie Mingxu ignored the Queen's shocked look and insisted on his own opinion: "Father, the cause of my seventh brother's death is full of doubts. Since Miss Shen firmly believes that an autopsy can reveal the truth, I also advocate an autopsy to restore the facts."

Shen Wanwan was stunned when she heard this, and secretly complained: [Why are you cueing me for no reason? ]

The system promptly reminded: [Host, you are stupid! This is to let you take the blame. If the cause of death is found after the autopsy, you will not get any benefits. If not! You are finished! ]

Shen Wanwan: [$%$,! Turns out he's just a smiling, dagger-hiding pretty boy! ]

Xie Jingchuan had a gloomy expression on his face. He quietly stood between Shen Wanwan and Xie Mingxu, intentionally blocking her sight.

Shen Wanwan couldn't help but protest: "My Lord, you're blocking me!"

Xie Jingchuan has read the random reply!

"Your Highness is wrong. Miss Shen is not a fortune teller. How can she predict the results of the autopsy? The body has not been examined yet. How can we know for sure that the cause of death can be found?"

Finally, the queen seized the opportunity.

The Queen pleaded again: "Your Majesty, since even the Regent said so, can this matter be dropped and Yu'er can rest in peace?"

After all, he was his own child, and the emperor was still somewhat moved.

But how can we catch the Regent's fault without an autopsy?

The emperor was in a dilemma!

Just as the emperor was hesitating, Shen Wuwen spoke up, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The emperor didn't want to care about anything else at this moment. "We'll discuss this later!"

Shen Wuwen insisted: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report, which is closely related to the Regent."

The emperor's heart moved. Perhaps this was a good time to overthrow the regent. "Oh? What do you want to say, my dear?"

I thought to myself that if you can overthrow the regent, I will give you the credit!

At this moment, Imperial Physician Liu seemed to have unloaded a huge burden and was secretly glad.

It’s really a fight between gods and mortals suffer!

"Here is a signed confession from Shen Wanwan!"

Shen Wuwen held up the so-called confession signed by Shen Wanwan in his hand and showed it to everyone, then handed it to Eunuch Li, who presented it respectfully to the emperor.

Xie Jingchuan didn't know about the confession letter and looked at Shen Wanwan in confusion.

The system in Shen Wanwan's heart could no longer hold back; [Host, here he comes! He is coming with the crime of killing all nine clans! ]

Shen Wanwan: [This old guy has been holding it in for so long. It must be hard for him. If it were me, I would be depressed! ]

The emperor sitting above saw the so-called confession, and the first thing he saw was a dirty footprint!

The emperor couldn't help but frown and glared at Shen Wuwen!

As he read deeper, the anger on the emperor's face gradually dissipated, replaced by an expression of joy that was difficult to conceal.

"Prince Regent, you are so brave!"

The emperor pretended to be furious and threw the confession in his hand to the ground!
