This news shocked Zhao Yunzhu again.
It turned out that when Qin Yueyue's body was sent back to the palace yesterday, it was said that she died from accidental drowning.
How could the virtuous king believe this? His daughter was forcibly taken into the palace by the queen mother, and now what was sent back was a corpse. The virtuous king led his men to rush into the palace to ask for an explanation.

Song Shumin looked at Zhao Yunzhu with complicated emotions in her eyes.

Zhao Yunzhu looked at Song Shumin calmly, thinking secretly in his heart.
"I can only say I'll try my best."
Now that the Queen Mother has set her sights on Prince Xian's mansion, it is only a matter of time before she searches it.
But the wise king still wanted to keep the steward alive so that he could bite back at Queen Mother Liu in the future.
"Thank you very much."
