"What's wrong?" Mo Xi asked.
"I can't explain it...it's just intuition!" Mu Li pondered.
"Isn't it obvious? Prince Shun was defeated and imprisoned in the Sky Prison. In order to save her son, the Queen Mother had to make some noise. What noise could be bigger than a person's death?" The system's cold voice suddenly appeared in Mu Li's mind.
Mu Li was stunned and said anxiously, "Brother Crown Prince, please send someone to the Heavenly Prison to see if Prince Shun is still there."
The emperor who was walking in front paused when he heard this, and after a little thought he figured out the reason!
"Oh... what a great scheme!" the emperor was furious. "Come, go to the Heavenly Prison and take Prince Shun to the Cining Palace!"

"Drag him away and give him a thorough trial!"
"yes."
"Open the coffin! I want to personally see the empress dowager off on her final journey!" the emperor ordered.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that! The dead are the most important. The queen is gone, so let her go in peace!" The head nanny lay on the coffin and said sincerely.
"What a saying that the dead are the greatest! Then I will see whether she is dead or not! Go!" The emperor sneered.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that, Your Majesty..." The nanny lay on the coffin tightly.
"Take him away and keep him under strict watch to prevent any accidents from happening!" the emperor waved his hand and ordered.
"yes!"
