Lu Sangyu said, "I think that Princess Haiyan and her husband are of good character and are deeply loved by the emperor. They are well-known in the court and the public. It is hard to believe that this matter was suddenly reported."
Zhao Liren continued, "I dare to speculate that perhaps someone deliberately framed her to cover up some unknown truth. I implore the Queen Mother to be discerning and not be misled by rumors. Instead, she should find out the truth to set things right and prevent innocent people from being wrongly accused. I am willing to personally take orders and work with the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and other government offices to thoroughly investigate the matter and give justice to the princess and her husband."
The Empress Dowager was so angry that her face turned black, and her deathly look became even more pronounced.
She never expected that the death of Emperor Mingde could not calm these officials. Shouldn't they be crying now? Why are they all entangled in whether the princess and her husband were wronged?
We can’t keep this group of ministers anymore!
It was also at this time that she realized that no one from the Li family had come.
None of the civil and military officials she trusted came.
There was not a single official in the court whom she could rely on.
The Queen Mother felt strange, but now was not the time to think about it. In addition, the pain in her legs was like thousands of needles, piercing her bones mercilessly, making every move she made extremely difficult and restless.
He should be surrounded by ministers and hold power, so why is it different from what we imagined?
Her eyes flashed with rage, "We'll discuss this later, first..."
At this moment, a eunuch hurried into the hall and sang, "Princess Haiyan and her husband have arrived!"
As the eunuch finished speaking, a pair of beautiful people appeared outside the palace gate. They were Princess Haiyan and her husband.
The lovely couple slowly walked into the palace, just like the people in the scroll stepping into the mortal world.
The princess was dressed in a simple brocade palace dress, dignified and calm. Her hair was like a waterfall, and a white jade hairpin simply tied it into a cloud of hair. She was clearly not wearing any makeup, but her face was as rosy as peach blossoms and her eyes were as clear as autumn water, showing the unparalleled elegance of the royal family.
The man was wearing a black brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and an upright posture. He had a handsome face, deep eyes, and a look of majesty without anger.
When the two of them walk hand in hand, anyone would have to praise them, saying that they are a match made in heaven.
And behind them, there were Huang Wanqian, Fang Yuchu and other celebrities and scholars following in a mighty manner.
The Queen Mother's pupils trembled, "You! You guys!"
She wanted to say, shouldn't you be in jail?
As if he had read her mind, Shi Anxia's calmness carried with it a dignity that could not be ignored. "The Queen Mother's prison is not solid enough. Do you think it can hold us?"
The Queen Mother was furious. "How dare you! How dare you speak so outrageously! Someone, someone, someone!"
None of the court officials moved.
Instead, Shi Anxia asked calmly, "The Queen Mother accused me and the Prince Consort of plotting something illegal. Do you have any solid evidence?"
"Evidence? You and your husband secretly colluded with court officials with ill intentions. This is an obvious fact! As the queen mother, I don't need solid evidence to correct you. But today I will let you die knowingly!" The queen mother snorted coldly, her expression crazy, "Secret Guard!"
The secret guard Xie Dagui came in a hurry, holding a wet box in his hand and presented it, "Queen Mother, this was just fished out from the lotus pond in the Young Master Luo's residence."
The Empress Dowager's leg disease flared up and she was in severe pain. She wanted to return to the palace to take the longevity ointment.
Her voice was urgent, her eyes sparkling, "Open it!"
The secret guard carefully opened the lid of the wooden box.
The Empress Dowager showed a smug smile on her face and slowly took out the imperial seal, which symbolized the highest power of the country, from the box.
She stroked the patterns on the seal with infinite affection.
This jade seal has passed through the hands of several generations of emperors. It is the most authentic jade seal. She has kept it in her hands and is reluctant to hand it over to Emperor Mingde.
She said with tears in her eyes, "The emperor gave this jade seal to me for safekeeping, but it was stolen recently and was finally salvaged from the Luo family's young master's mansion..."
