Murong Jie didn't wait for Murong Zheng's consent. After kowtowed a few times, he left quickly and ran hurriedly towards Murong Kai's bedroom.
When he broke into Murong Kai's bedroom, the queen was guarding Murong Kai, and Murong Kai was still sleeping.
"Mother." Murong Jie felt a little helpless when he saw the queen looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Are you here to see your brother?" the queen asked lovingly, not forgetting to look at Murong Jie while speaking. Fortunately, the child did not become decadent and lazy because his mother was severely punished.
"Mother, I'm here to ask my third brother for help. This time, it was my mother who did it, and my father has already decided..." Murong Jie hesitated to speak. Even if it was true that his father had sentenced his mother to death, he couldn't say it.
The queen didn't say anything, but just looked at Murong Jie, which made him feel a little ashamed.
"Mother, I have no other choice but to ask my third brother for help. I also know that it is not kind of me to do so, but she is my mother. I know how my third brother has been living these years without my mother's protection. So, I want my mother to live."
Murong Jie never thought that one day he would say such words to the Queen. His intention was very clear, which was to make the Queen soften her heart and plead for him to save his mother's life.
His mother had told him countless times that the queen was arrogant, cold and unkind. However, when she looked at him tenderly like a mother, he could not help but tell her everything that was on his mind.
"Your mother has now been abandoned by your royal father. Even if she were alive, I'm afraid she would have to stay in Qingliang Palace for the rest of her life. She would no longer be able to give you any protection and would be tortured every day." The queen gently took Murong Jie's hand and spoke softly.
What she said was the truth. She didn't want Murong Jie to still hold on to unrealistic hopes for the Dong family. That would do Murong Jie more harm than good.
"Mother, I know. I know that mother will never be able to leave Qingliang Palace in this life, but I still want her to live and atone for the wrong things she has done."
In Murong Jie's heart, keeping his mother alive is his greatest wish at the moment.
"Go tell your father that letting your mother live and seeing Imperial Concubine Jin shine and Akai happy is the greatest punishment for your mother."
Murong Jie was a little confused. He looked at the queen, but suspicion had already begun to appear in his eyes.
"Mother, Father is well aware of these matters. It will be useless even if I repeat them a few more times."
"Jie'er, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Your mother is proud and arrogant. What she cannot stand the most is that Imperial Concubine Jin is better than her. If your mother knew that Imperial Concubine Jin is doing well now, she would definitely be unhappy. This kind of torment is more painful than death."
"This is a heart-destroying technique. It can save your mother. However, even if she survives, her heart will be filled with resentment and resentment."
The Queen's words were very frank. This was a common tactic used by women in the harem. Although it was not very clever, it was useful.
Murong Jie understood the Queen's intention. This would indeed save his mother, because his father just wanted to see her unhappy. But did he really want to do this? Should he give her a quick ending, or...
Murong Jie knew best how arrogant his mother was, so after the queen said this, he hesitated. He was no longer sure what would be a good outcome.
In other words, after their mother entered Qingliang Palace, they were already isolated from any good outcome.
"Mother, I will go find father. Please save your life first. We can talk about the future later." Murong Jie made a decision quickly. After paying his respects to the queen, he ran towards the imperial study.
The Queen looked at Murong Jie's leaving back, her eyes filled with heartache.
This child was indeed spoiled before, but he grew up rapidly in a short period of time...
After Murong Jie left, when the Queen looked at Murong Kai again, he had already opened his eyes. Looking at the Queen's concerned eyes, he smiled gently.
"The person behind this time's conspiracy in the Ministry of Punishment is Dong."
The queen spoke frankly, and Murong Kai just nodded. In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago.
"If you think I can't handle the Dong case well, I will go and tell the emperor to execute Dong. Actually, I was soft-hearted just now. Ajie is still a child. It's too cruel for the emperor to kill his own mother."
Thinking about how he had just suggested to Murong Jie to save Dong, and Dong was the main culprit behind Murong Kai's coma this time.
