King Jing saw the situation becoming increasingly chaotic and shouted angrily:
"If you don't want to die, shut up. Now get out of my way, or don't blame me for going on a killing spree."
He hugged Qi Yizhi and forced his way through with a sword in his hand, glaring at Dan Ruo with a warning look.
Dan Ruo was so frightened that she fainted in Su Tian's arms, and Su Tian carried her back to the Su family.
King Jing hurriedly sent a letter to Concubine Jing in the palace, asking her to deal with the aftermath.
Concubine Jing originally wanted to use her secret power, but this matter was too serious, so she could only use the child that Qi Yizi was carrying to plead with the Queen Mother, asking the Queen Mother to take action to calm the matter down.
She had just finished telling the Queen Mother about this in her palace, and she was in great distress.
Someone was sent outside to gather information, and then he heard that Concubine Su had returned to the palace and gone directly to the imperial study to find the emperor. Minister Su also knelt at the gate of the palace with his four sons, begging the emperor to try the case.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Jing and said earnestly, "Prince Jing has caused quite a bit of trouble this time, but he is, after all, the blood of the late emperor. The Emperor will treat Prince Jing with favor for the sake of the late emperor.
However, the child's biological mother disguised herself as a man to inherit the title, which was considered deceiving the emperor, and deceiving the emperor was a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family.
What's more, if she really harmed someone and cheated in marriage, it would be unbecoming of me, as the queen mother, to help her, and it would make all women in the world feel disheartened.
Besides, although this child is precious, King Jing is still young after all, and he will have plenty of children in the future. You should relax and go back to wait for the result."
When Concubine Jing heard the Queen Mother say this, she knew she was unwilling to help, and she cried heartbrokenly:
"It's all my fault for spoiling King Jing since he was young, and now I'm even harming my unborn grandson."
The Queen Mother felt a little guilty after hearing this, but there was nothing she could do. She said a few words of comfort and asked someone to send Concubine Jing back to rest.
Concubine Jing secretly resented that if that was the Empress Dowager's grandson, she would have saved him no matter what she said.
She immediately spread the news that the emperor had no heir, and asked the old ministers to protect their grandsons.
