This was exactly the scene that Mu Yunji saw when he brought Zhu Xianyue and Su Wanqing here.
"Father, Emperor..."
Mu Huaiqing was so frightened that his eyes were bloodshot.
He quickly pushed Huo Yunqiu away and knelt down with a plop.
"Father, please listen to my explanation...
My mother almost fell down, and I, your son, was in a hurry to support her...
Your son has only respect for your mother, and no other thoughts, Father!
Please enlighten me, Father!"
Mu Huaiqing was really scared this time.
His head hit the ground hard and blood came out of his forehead.
If Mu Yunji didn't calm down, he would be labeled as "coveting the queen". Not to mention the position of crown prince, even his life would be in danger!
After his death, there will be millions of people who will spit on his grave!
He doesn't want this!
But Mu Yunji only believed what he saw.
In addition, he and Huo Yunqiu had been married for many years and could see through Huo Yunqiu's eyes—
Mu Huai was less respectful than Huo Yunqiu, perhaps for ulterior motives, but his thoughts were never on love between men and women. It was more because he was coerced.
Huo Yunqiu, on the other hand, had a morbid possessiveness towards Mu Huaiqing. This possessiveness was based on the mother-son relationship, but it also seemed to be accompanied by other expectations.
Mu Huaiqing had the opportunity to refuse with righteous indignation, but he chose to acquiesce.
Neither of these two people is innocent.
"Huo Yunqiu.
You disappoint me so much.
I will not punish you.
You know what to do.
As for Mu Huaiqing——
Imprisoned in the clan house, awaiting punishment!
Su Wanqing, you have suffered too. I will see to it that you return to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a clean slate, and I will grant you a good marriage in the future."
Su Wanqing suddenly knelt down, her eyes bright, as if she could see through everything, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. But...
After this incident, I have seen through the world and do not want to enter it again.
Please allow me, Your Majesty, to practice Buddhism in the temple under the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I would also like to warn everyone that my actions have nothing to do with the other female members of the Su family."
She has seen through the world and wants to become a nun.
Mu Yunji temporarily agreed and told her that because of her special situation, she could return to secular life at any time if she wanted to.
-
Mu Yunji withdrew most of the palace servants from the Pepper Palace, leaving only an old nanny and an old eunuch to guard Huo Yunqiu.
This old nanny is Mu Yunji's wet nanny and also Mu Yunji's confidante.
That night, she approached Huo Yunqiu with a cup of poisoned wine.
"Empress, it's time to get going."
“No, don’t…
I am the Empress of the Mu Dynasty! I am the mother of a nation! How dare you, old slave, lay hands on me? Do you think your skin isn't loose enough?
Get out of here, don't, don't come over here!"
Although the old lady is old, she is still full of strength due to years of hard work.
Huo Yunqiu couldn't resist at all.
Gradually, her voice lost its confidence and even turned into a plea for mercy.
"Empress, don't you understand?
Even if you didn't do anything with the Crown Prince, the fact that you fell into his arms and even aroused the Crown Princess's suspicion is already unclean.
The emperor is magnanimous and has spared your dignity.
To prove your innocence, you should die immediately!"
Huo Yunqiu's face turned pale.
——Mu Yunji dismissed the six palaces, leaving only her as the queen. Even the later Concubine Rui was taken into the harem out of pity.
Concubine Rui was favored and she lost her mind.
Behaved in an inappropriate manner.
The heart of an emperor has always been cold and ruthless.
How could she forget that Mu Yunji was first the ruler of the Mu Dynasty and then his husband?
