Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu were familiar with each other, especially Shangguan Shu. Zhao Ying knelt down with a blank expression, "Your son acknowledges his guilt!"
Shangguan Shu was still seriously injured and Emperor Jianxi exempted him from the ceremony. Shangguan Shu pretended to be ashamed and said, "I know my crime!"
Seeing this, the old Duke also knelt down and apologized, "This old minister also knows his guilt..."
As he said this, the old Duke regretted it very much. Why did he enter the palace today?
Emperor Jianxi scolded Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu, but Prince Shou, who was standing next to him, remained indifferent. He would have spoken out to stop them in the past, but now he seemed to be very angry.
The three scolded children lowered their heads and said nothing until Zhao Ying realized that the time had come. Then he quietly argued, "Father, don't be angry. The children meant well. I heard that Yue'er originally wanted to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, but mistakenly thought she was a zombie, which led to such a joke. But the three children mistakenly thought the Queen Mother had become a zombie and went to save her. They are truly filial. The Queen Mother's stroke was also unexpected. If you say that the three children, who haven't even fully grown their hair yet, did it on purpose, then it's truly unjust. Since it was unintentional, how could they be blamed?"
Emperor Jianxi shouted, "You still dare to quibble?"
Shangguan Shu took over the conversation, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Side was buried today. The Queen Mother has been ill since her death. I believe that the Queen Mother is the mother of a country, the mother of the world, and has a broad mind. How could she be angry over the mischief of a few children? Could it be that Princess Side was so grief-stricken that she suffered a stroke?"
Shangguan Shu spoke so frankly and selflessly, and his arguments were so convincing that people who didn't know him would think he was not the biological father of the child who committed the crime!
Emperor Jianxi frowned and remained silent, as if he was thinking about what the two were saying.
Prince Shou sneered in his heart and said, go ahead and say it, who can argue with you two?
Prince Shou was worried that if they continued talking, they would put the blame for the Queen Mother's stroke on him. Anyway, there was nothing they could prove and nothing they could punish. If there was any responsibility, His Majesty himself was also responsible. The Queen Mother was already very angry with Emperor Jianxi.
Everything is fate. It's my mother and my brother's fault for losing.
The current situation is just a matter of winners taking all.
Prince Shou stepped forward and gave Emperor Jianxi a way out. Emperor Jianxi gave him a mild punishment, and the matter was over.
After the accountability, Emperor Jianxi was busy visiting the empress dowager.
As soon as the empress dowager woke up, she saw Emperor Jianxi. She stared with her eyes and opened her mouth wide, pointing at him and moaning for a long time, but no words came out, and saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth.
Emperor Jianxi stared at the empress dowager, a hint of mockery flashing across his dark eyes.
