Chapter 1186: Prince Li’s Extra: The Queen’s Questioning

"Mother, I am telling you this because I want you to say a few words for me if my father is unwilling in the future."

Murong Kai wiped the tears of the queen and spoke, but it made the queen cry even harder.

Murong Kai, this child, always followed the rules. She always thought that this child would live a life of following the rules, but she didn't expect that he would make a big splash.

He asked for it, so how could she object? What's more, she was an enemy of the emperor in the court, and whether she could keep her position as queen was another matter.

"If there is a chance, mother will naturally be willing to fulfill your wish, but..." The queen hesitated.

Although Murong Kai's wisdom in recent events is comparable to that of an adult, she doesn't want him to know about the things in the adult world, especially the dark things.

"Don't worry, mother, my father will not abolish the queen." Murong Kai spoke in a very affirmative tone.

"It's different this time, but it's all adults' business, you don't have to worry about it."

"Mother, if my father didn't want the Grand Empress Dowager to come back, he wouldn't have deposed her." Murong Kai naturally understood the queen's thoughts, and his soft words gave the queen a reassurance.

The reason why the Grand Empress Dowager didn't care about the affairs in the court in Hanshan was because the queen was there.

If Murong Zheng wanted to move the queen, the Grand Empress Dowager would definitely appear. What Murong Zheng hated most was being constrained by the Grand Empress Dowager. In order to prevent this from happening, he would not depose the queen.

What's more, Murong Zheng did not have no feelings for the queen, but he had never realized it.

Murong Kai's consolation only made the queen's face more bitter.

"You go back first, your father will soon leave the court, and he will definitely come after the morning court." The queen patted Murong Kai's shoulder and signaled the people waiting in the distance to come forward and carry Murong Kai away.

Thinking of Murong Zheng coming, she was a little impatient to let Murong Kai leave. She was afraid that her beloved children would know how humble she was in front of Murong Zheng.

Murong Kai didn't want to get involved in the affairs of his father and mother. In his opinion, as long as Concubine Dong was still there, his father would not be rational. Even if he compromised, he would not let his mother see his true heart.

Or, his father didn't even know his true heart.

In the final analysis, he was spoiled by the old man Hanshan.

Not long after Murong Kai left, Murong Zheng hurried over. He rushed in with anger on his face and looked at the queen with disappointment on his face, but he hesitated for a long time when he spoke.

"What do you mean today? You promised me before that if there was a conflict between the ministers and Concubine Dong, you would mediate."

Since Murong Zheng broke in, the queen had been smiling. When Murong Zheng's questioning voice fell, the smile on the queen's face could no longer be maintained, and the grievance and tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled.

"Queen, you disappoint me."

The Queen's reaction was beyond Murong Zheng's expectation. He thought that when he came to question her, the Queen should be at a loss, guilty, and remorseful.

But the Queen's unusual behavior made him feel confused, and even a little regretful. Was his words just now too harsh?

But thinking about Concubine Dong who had been sent to Qingliang Palace at this moment, he still suppressed his uneasiness and said more heartless words.

"Your Majesty, you asked me why I didn't help you and Concubine Dong mediate? Then tell me, if I admit that it was me who set the fire and burned the princess of Bei'an to death, what would I do?"

Murong Zheng looked at the Queen and didn't know what to say for a while.

What was waiting for the Queen was definitely a reprimand, and it might even alarm the Grand Empress Dowager, or even depose the Queen.

He had never thought about these before, and just thought about saving Concubine Dong first.

"I never thought about deposing the Queen because of that incident, I..." Murong Zheng explained anxiously, but the more he explained, the more he felt guilty. In the end, he couldn't finish his words and just looked at the Queen awkwardly.

"If I were to fall into the same situation as Concubine Dong, would Your Majesty protect me as he did Concubine Dong?"

The Queen spoke again, her tone as calm as usual, but this calmness was more lethal than hysterical questioning.

Murong Zheng knew he wouldn't, and wanted to lie, but facing the Queen's calm look, he felt guilty before he even opened his mouth.
