Fortunately, after so many years, the people she wanted to protect also protected her in some way. The people she wanted to protect also helped her a lot to a certain extent. This was enough for Shen Moyu.

"Everyone, don't be restrained. Today is my birthday. You have come to the palace to celebrate my birthday. Don't treat it like a court session. Just do as you please. Come, I will have a drink with you."

Emperor Mingzhen looked very happy, and his condition was in great shape. However, his appearance made Shen Moyu feel extremely ironic.

With Concubine Ruan and Queen Su Mojie accompanying him on his left and right, and several beautiful concubines accompanying him on both sides, Emperor Mingzhen's life was really comfortable.

But only she knew that this kind of life would soon no longer belong to Emperor Mingzhen.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has arrived, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has arrived."

Emperor Ming Zhen was drinking with everyone when he heard the eunuchs singing at the door. His face changed noticeably, and it seemed that he was unhappy about the lateness of his sons.

But his unhappy expression did not last long and soon froze on his face, because when they came in, they were all covered in blood.

Everyone present seemed to have forgotten to breathe for a moment, and the hall was incredibly quiet, as if one could hear the sound of a needle dropping.

"My son, I will meet my father."

When Crown Prince Xiao Qi knelt down, his legs went weak. If the Fifth Prince Xiao Ling hadn't supported him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

When the Seventh Prince Xiao Ting looked up at Emperor Ming Zhen, his eyes were obviously red, "Father, your son...your son has something to report."

"Forget about other days, today is my birthday, don't you want me to worry less?"

Emperor Ming Zhen was so angry that he was about to explode. Anyone would be unhappy to see such a disturbance at his birthday banquet, especially by his three most valued sons.

At this time, Xiao Ting didn't care whether Emperor Mingzhen was happy or not. He raised his trembling hand and pointed at the woman in the phoenix robe on the left of Emperor Mingzhen, who was the current queen, Su Mojie.

"Father, the Queen Mother...she wants to kill me. I am really terrified. Please help me."

Xiao Ting's words made Queen Su Mojie panic. She never thought that Xiao Ting would be so bold as to say such a thing directly in the hall.

She had been calm just now, but she stood up hastily and walked to Emperor Mingzhen, anxiously defending herself, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

"Mother, if it weren't for my fifth brother who arrived in time, what you and father are looking at now is my son's corpse. I don't understand. Aren't we blood relatives? Why can you be so cruel and do such a cruel thing to me?"

Xiao Ting's words were extremely clear, but to Queen Su Mojie, they sounded like a death warrant. She turned her head with an obvious warning in her eyes.

"Seventh Brother, I have always fulfilled my motherly responsibilities to you. Why did you harm me like this? For no reason, you caused such a thing to blame your own biological mother. Is this how you fulfill your filial piety?"

"Yes, mother, you know that I am your biological son. I wonder if you really care about me?"

Xiao Ting was extremely depressed. He had never expected that he would be forced to this point by his own mother. However, he did want to take this opportunity to completely dethrone his mother from the throne of Queen.

Since the queen is immoral and cannot help him, what is the point of having such a queen?

"Xiao Ting, please explain clearly. Why did you bring up the Queen? You are all covered in blood, and you barge into the palace like this? How can you be so disrespectful!"

Emperor Ming Zhen was furious. Such a nice birthday banquet was ruined by these rebellious sons. He felt so aggrieved.

"Eunuch An, why don't you quickly order someone to change the outer clothes for these rebellious sons?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch An naturally accepted the order with trepidation, feeling somewhat uncertain in his heart. These three princes were considered the most promising among all the princes, so how could they behave so recklessly? It was truly surprising.

"I was going to come to celebrate Father's birthday a long time ago, but the birthday gift I prepared for Father happened to be outside the palace, so I sent someone to get it. But they didn't bring it back after a long time. I left the palace in a hurry to look for it, and just as I left the palace, I ran into the assassins of Marquis Wuyang's mansion. If it weren't for my fifth brother, Father, you would never see me again."

Xiao Ting's voice was choked with sobs, and there was an obvious cry in his voice. This was not considered as him pretending. He was indeed frightened, and he never thought that Queen Su Mojie, his biological mother, would really kill him.

So no matter how Xiao Ting guarded against it, he had never been on guard against Queen Su Mojie. It seemed that he felt confident that even if Queen Su Mojie did not care about his son, she would never do anything to harm him.

But Queen Su Mojie was really stupid. If she was going to do such a murder, how could she do it so openly and directly use the death squads from Marquis Wuyang's mansion? Was she afraid that her death was not thorough enough?

"No...this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Queen Su Mojie shook her head desperately, but in her heart she cursed Wuyang Hou Su Boyan, thinking that he was more of a hindrance than a help.

Since everyone knows that this matter is dangerous, why do they still use their own people? They are really useless.

"How is it impossible? I am afraid that Queen Mother will not admit it, so Fifth Brother has already sent people to bring those assassins back to the palace, and also used some tricks to prevent them from committing suicide. I believe we will know soon whether Queen Mother did it or not."

Every word Xiao Ting said frightened Queen Su Mojie so much that she was at a loss. She frantically thought of a solution in her mind, but unfortunately she couldn't think of one even if she racked her brains.

"Where is Wuyang Marquis Su Boyan?"

Emperor Ming Zhen's gloomy expression actually showed that he had almost completely believed Xiao Ting's words. He raised his voice to ask about the whereabouts of Su Boyan, Marquis of Wuyang, because he actually just wanted to get to the bottom of it so that he could make a later conviction.

"Your Majesty, only Old Madam Su and Second Miss Su came to Wuyang Marquis's residence this time."

Eunuch An whispered a reminder from the side, and in his heart he had already made a big cross out on the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. He thought that after this birthday banquet, the Wuyang Marquis Mansion would no longer exist.

The old lady Su and the second young lady Su Moli, who were named, were so scared that they dared not raise their heads, let alone think about what consequences this incident would bring to them! ?

"Come here, bring Su Boyan, Marquis of Wuyang, to me. I have something to ask him in person!"
