"The murderer isn't Consort Shu?!" The Emperor was about to have Consort Shu arrested, but then the situation took a turn.

"Your Majesty, look, the Eldest Princess said it wasn't me, Your Majesty." Consort Shu looked at Mo Qian with gratitude in her eyes.

Although the previous accusations had entangled her, she would be grateful to her as long as she was freed from them.

The people standing by were also somewhat confused.

However, what they had in common was that they all focused their attention on Mo Qian.

“Father, the murderer is not Consort Shu, but someone else.”

"Who is it?!" the Emperor asked with a serious expression.

"She is that palace maid's true mistress, the Third Prince's mother!"

"You didn't expect me to know, did you?" Mo Qian then turned her gaze to the Third Prince's mother, a smile playing on her lips.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I don't even know that palace maid. How could I possibly be her mistress!"

When the Third Prince's mother heard Mo Qian identify her, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly changed her demeanor and began to cry.

"Your Highness, please stop spouting nonsense!" The Third Prince, who was in the hall at this moment, was furious when he saw his mother being identified.

As for the others standing by, they were completely bewildered by this plot twist.

"Your Majesty, you should worry about yourself first," Mo Qian said calmly in the face of the Third Prince's reprimand.

"I'm perfectly fine, I don't need your kindness." The Third Prince's expression was very cold.

"Qian'er, are you sure?" The Emperor was no longer as certain as before. After all, the situation had already reversed once, and another one was not out of the question.

"Father, how could I possibly joke about Mother's health? Of course, the real culprit must be punished!"

"Princess, why are you framing me?!" Then, seeing that the Emperor was about to believe Mo Qian's words, the Third Prince's mother hurriedly looked at Mo Qian and asked angrily.

"Royal sister, that's enough!" The Third Prince also looked like a demon at this moment.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

They used to keep to themselves, but now they're utterly despicable!

There's a reason why Yuanyuan dislikes certain people!
