Half a month later, in the capital!

"Send someone to check, why hasn't the princess arrived yet!"

Shen Qiuchi was upset.

These days she often sent people to wait outside the city to see if Shen Qingxu and her companions' carriage had returned.

As time passed, Shen Qiuchi became so anxious that he wanted to go south to look for Shen Qingxu himself.

She had been waiting anxiously for more than twenty days.

Afraid of getting some bad news!

"Empress, Empress!"

The eunuch who reported the incident fell to the ground in a hurry. He climbed up from the ground using all four limbs, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Empress, the princess is back!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiuchi immediately strode outside. She looked anxious and wished she could fly directly to Shen Qingxu's side.

When Shen Qiuchi saw Shen Qingxu being carried down, his heart broke.

My sister, who was full of life when I left, is now so weak and unconscious!

"Carry the princess to Fengyi Palace, and call all the imperial doctors to me!" Shen Qiuchi's eyes were red with anger. After Shen Qingxu was carried away, she glared at Xu Xingyi with bloodshot eyes.

"I asked you to protect her, is this how you do it?" Shen Qiuchi was furious and kicked Xu Xingyi.

Mu Yunzhou was also kicked!

He was kicked two meters away, rubbing his sore butt. It was no wonder that his cousin didn't dare to look for other women!

If he dares to look for her, the Queen's cousin will probably tear him to pieces!

"And you guys, why do I keep you here?"

Whenever Shen Qiuchi thought of Shen Qingxu being abused, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

Qingfang, Weiyu, Yilan and others knelt on the ground, waiting for Shen Qiuchi's punishment.

It was indeed their fault for failing to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!

"Go to the Military Education Department to receive your punishment!" Shen Qiuchi's voice was so cold that it was outrageous.

Yilan and the other two helped Xu Xingyi leave in the direction of the Military Education Department.

Mu Yunzhou remained silent and followed Shen Qiuchi to Fengyi Palace. After the imperial physician told Shen Qiuchi that Shen Qingxu was fine and just needed to rest well and would wake up soon, Shen Qiuchi finally put his mind at ease.

"Come with me!" Shen Qiuchi calmed down and took Mu Yunzhou towards the prison.

On the way, Mu Yunzhou looked at Shen Qiuchi in confusion, not understanding why she took him to the prison?

Do you want to just chop off his head?

Her own people are going to receive the punishment?

Is he going to be thrown into prison? Or beheaded?

This is so unfair!

But shouldn't beheadings be done at Xuanwu Gate and Caishikou? Why go to the prison?

Or maybe Shen Qiuchi wanted to know what kind of abuse Shen Qingxu had suffered in the past?

And then demonstrate it on him?

Mu Yunzhou felt that this idea was more reasonable.

When the two arrived at the prison, the emperor was there too.

Not only the emperor was there, but his father was there too. To be precise, the entire Mu family was there.

"Dad, are you plotting a rebellion? Are our entire family going to be exterminated?"

"I, um, Dad, is it too late to get out of the family tree now?" Mu Yunzhou asked three questions in a row, making Prime Minister Mu so angry that he wanted to break out of prison and beat Mu Yunzhou up.

"You, you, you bastard!" Mrs. Mu calmed down for her husband.

"Alright, Dad, cousin the Emperor, stop teasing me. Let my parents out. They are old, and this dungeon is damp. They can stay here for a while, but their bodies won't be able to bear it if they stay there for too long." Mu Yunzhou knew in his heart that no matter how traitorous someone was, his father would never betray the country!

So even though he saw with his own eyes that his family had been thrown into prison, he still felt that the emperor and the Mu family were playing a joke on him.

"Mu Yunzhou, we're not kidding you."

Seeing the emperor's serious expression, the smile on Mu Yunzhou's face gradually froze.

I don’t know what they talked about in the prison, but I know that when Mu Yunzhou came out, he looked like he had lost his soul.

Why did he deserve to be abandoned?

His whole family is in prison, can he go in too?
