"Why is the Empress in such a hurry? Let him finish speaking."
The little eunuch was so frightened that he was trembling all over.
"Your Majesty, this servant dares not lie. The news has spread far and wide, and... moreover, several censors happened to be drinking nearby and overheard it."
The empress, her face deathly pale, slumped into her chair.
Suddenly realizing what was happening, he quickly got up and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I will have my father investigate this matter. If it is true that my second brother was drunk and talking nonsense, I will be the first to not forgive him."
Looking at the table full of food with ulterior motives, Mo Yunzhao suddenly angrily overturned it.

The empress's carefully prepared dress was stained with soup, but she dared not take it away.
Mo Yunzhao was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

The Empress hurriedly knelt and crawled a few steps, grabbing the hem of Mo Yunzhao's dragon robe.
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Shaoqing."
Mo Yunzhao suddenly threw her away.

The queen collapsed weakly to the ground.
As Mo Yunzhao left Cining Palace, his face was filled with an overwhelming murderous aura.
The chief eunuch dared not speak and could only follow with his head down.
After walking for a while, Mo Yunzhao suddenly stopped. "Go, summon Mo Shaoze to the palace immediately."
