"Queen Dowager, my child was killed by the Empress. You must seek justice for the little prince!"
The Queen Mother's heart sank. She walked over with trembling hands. The moment she saw the child's body, she screamed, "Gone! Gone!"
Everyone in the palace knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, please depose this vicious queen who murdered the heir to the throne!"
Rushing to Su Lijin, the Queen Mother glared at her with red eyes, "Queen, your father is not a good person. Your Su family is not a good person at all. Today, I will clean up the mess for the royal family!"
"Empress Dowager, I did not kill the little prince. If you want to convict me, you must first produce evidence."
When her father was scolded, Su Lijin couldn't help but show anger on her face.
A maid from Concubine Shu's palace suddenly rushed over, pointed at her and said, "It was the Queen who killed the little prince. I saw it!"
"Before this servant could stop me, the Queen had already killed him. She was the one who killed the little prince!"
The Queen Mother immediately gnashed her teeth and said, "You vicious woman! Your Majesty, why don't you depose her?"
Xiao Shengxing frowned and glanced at the palace maid, who shrank back.
Looking at this palace maid who appeared out of nowhere, Su Lijin sneered: "If you really saw me taking action, why didn't you shout first and ask everyone to come over?"
"If you really saw it, would you still be so calm and wait until now to identify me?"
The palace maid froze and looked at Concubine Shu helplessly.
Concubine Shu wailed and threw herself on the swaddling clothes, her voice shrill: "My child is dead, and now I can't even punish the murderer. I will not live anymore."
She changed the subject in time, and everyone's attention returned to Su Lijin again.
The Queen Mother said bitterly, "Queen, you couldn't get pregnant, and out of jealousy and resentment, you killed the little prince. Don't even think of making excuses!"
"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? Capture her and depose her from the position of Queen!"
Su Lijin looked at Xiao Shengxing with a hint of sneer in her eyes.
If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. Concubine Shu is clearly trying to frame herself.
Although she didn't know why the little prince died, the palace maid who had just given false testimony was obviously instructed by Concubine Shu.
She had reason to suspect that Concubine Shu, who had made this preparation, had obviously known for a long time that the little prince was dead.
"I believe in the Queen." Xiao Shengxing said.
Su Lijin was startled and stared at him blankly: "Your Majesty, do you believe me?"
Xiao Shengxing nodded and said, "Let Imperial Physician Lu perform an autopsy. I don't think the little prince was strangled to death."
