It turned out that Xiao Junzi was just making up for his mistake.

While stroking his forehead and sighing, considering that the thing has already happened, the key is to try every possible way to properly resolve it.

"Is Xiao Junzi reliable? Can you guarantee that the news won't leak out?"

"Of course he's reliable. Besides, he's also involved in a murder case. There's no way he'll reveal a single word to anyone."

Hearing this, he felt a little relieved and ordered someone to take care of Xiao Junzi.

In fact, the death of the imperial concubine did not cause much commotion. After all, even the emperor had intended to kill her.

The real headache is that no one can take over her task of dealing with King Xian'an...

After a while, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and Shen Muxue straightened up and laughed out loud.

This sudden accident may be used cleverly.

She called over Nanny Yang and whispered a few words to her, then waited patiently for the emperor to arrive.

After learning the news that his beloved concubine had unfortunately drowned, the emperor was briefly distracted but soon returned to normal.

After all, the imperial concubine was just a chess piece used by him to balance the situation.

If it did not have some special value, it would have disappeared in the long river of history long ago.

Now, her departure can be regarded as a comfort to the many victims in the palace.

What concerned him even more was the feelings of his beloved. He hoped that this grief would not cause excessive impact on her.

After the court affairs were over, he hurried back to the bedroom to comfort his beloved. Shen Muxue immediately threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Gently comforting the sobbing figure in his arms, "Don't be sad."

After a moment, she stopped crying and raised her head, saying seriously, "Your Majesty, please understand. My sister's unjust death was caused by her dissatisfaction with the slow handling of the relevant departments, so she sought justice on her own."

Upon hearing this, the emperor suddenly realized that there was indeed a reason for the incident. There was no doubt that Miss Yuwei was involved in the death of the nobleman. No matter which force was responsible, he finally got an explanation for the deceased.

Since the core of the problem is no longer there, the liquidation of the Xie family should also be put on the agenda.

"Order the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to investigate this case promptly and set the record straight."

He responded with a smile, "Your Majesty treats me so well..."

The two of them spent a few moments together intimately, and then the Imperial Study issued an order to expedite the trial.

This change undoubtedly caused a huge response both inside and outside the palace.

The imperial concubine held great power in the harem for ten years and held a high position of authority. Even though she was only left with the title of a good wife in the end, she still commanded awe.

As for the Xie Mansion, everyone was severely damaged by the thunderbolt...

A few days ago, the Xie family was still the most dazzling and prestigious family in the capital. Any disturbance would make the entire capital tremble.

But who would have thought that not long ago, the status of the imperial concubine was suddenly demoted, but the Xie family was not overly worried at the time. After all, the imperial concubine had served the emperor for more than ten years, and they believed that the emperor must have an inseparable affection for her.

At this time, His Majesty, who has lost his way because of the temptation of Concubine Shu, will eventually change his mind, and then Concubine Gui will surely return to her former glory.

Unfortunately, before the news of the imperial concubine's restoration came, we heard the sad news of her unfortunate death.

After hearing the news, the entire Xie family fell into chaos and panic, and hurriedly sent people to investigate what had happened.

In fact, there was no need for them to actively look for the answer, as an astonishing version had already spread among the neighbors.

That's because on the seventh day after Miss Shen's death, when Prince Xian'an, who loved his deceased wife deeply, went to the lake to pay his respects in person, he was suddenly interrupted by the imperial concubine who was supposed to be imprisoned and under surveillance.

For some reason, the conversation between the two sides caused Prince An, who was grieving and remembering the pain of his spouse, to become extremely angry.

Out of the desire to avenge the lover who died for him, this former favorite concubine ended up drowning in a tragic way.

"That's right. Now everyone in the city is talking about this. Everyone says that the heartbroken man personally pushed the concubine into the water to comfort his wife's spirit in heaven!"

When this horrifying news reached the Queen Mother, the old lady could not bear the blow and fell unconscious.

There was chaos in Yixiang Palace, and the emperor was still unable to regain consciousness until he knew the whole story and arrived with his new favorite.

"Don't worry too much! Queen Mother is sensible and will naturally understand Xue'er's concern. But her health is more important."

The emperor said with concern.

Mu Xue gently grasped her husband's strong hand and replied, "I have been orphaned since childhood and have no one to rely on. Seeing the Queen Mother is like seeing my own mother's face. How can I feel at ease if I don't see her in person?"

Since shortly after Prince Xian'an's coming-of-age ceremony, the Queen Mother's health has been deteriorating and the monarch has become accustomed to it after several twists and turns.

"What has caused Mr. Buddha to be so agitated this time?"

The emperor asked for the specific reason.

Even the usually trustworthy wet nurse showed fear: "Your Majesty, I heard some rumors about the dispute involving His Highness and became so excited that I lost control of my emotions and fainted..."

"It's still him? What kind of trouble has he gotten himself into?"

As an old maid who grew up with the late emperor for decades, Nanny was well aware of the deep emotional connection her master had with the younger generation. She had no choice but to endure the heavy burdens she had suffered recently, so she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.

"It's fine if you're usually negligent in fulfilling your filial duties, but you always let your elders clean up your messes. That's really too willful and mischievous!"

Then he told the current emperor the version that was widely circulated outside without any concealment.

When His Majesty first heard about this, he could hardly believe his ears. Could it be that he really committed the murder just to avenge Wei Mei?

The man's intuition told him: judging from the other party's true emotional attitude towards his ex-lover, the possibility of this happening is extremely small.

Just as she was about to refute his words as absurd and unbelievable, Mu Xue calmly replied: "I never thought that the prince brother could show such deep affection and loyalty."

As soon as the words were spoken, those who were about to question had to temporarily suppress their doubts.

"After all, we can't insist on saying that he is heartless and ungrateful. Isn't this the same as puncturing the last bit of hope in his heart?"

After a long time, the Queen Mother slowly regained consciousness. The first words she uttered upon opening her eyes were: "My son is a coward and timid person. He would never commit such a murder."

Facing his mother who was clearly much weaker, the emperor could only patiently comfort her: "I understand, mother, please rest assured and take good care of yourself!"

After obtaining His Majesty's promise, the Queen Mother lost consciousness again.

Shen Muxue stood by, filled with worry, and softly said to the emperor, "The Queen Mother is deeply concerned about Prince Xian'an and is trying hard to protect him. Even if the prince has committed a crime and should be punished like ordinary people, for the sake of the Queen Mother's health, please show some mercy, Your Majesty."

Your Majesty is upset at the moment, on the one hand because he thinks that King Xian'an may not have done anything wrong.

On the other hand, he felt unhappy to see that the Queen Mother, who was on her sickbed, was still thinking about him.

It was all because of King Xian'an. In the past, no one noticed that his behavior was so inappropriate.
