The statement shocked everyone present.
The painters all stopped their brushes, looking anxiously toward the Emperor.
The Empress couldn't help but ask, "How is this possible? Is there some mistake?"
Wu Wang spoke respectfully.
"Li Zhaoyuan said it herself. She's right outside. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can summon her for questioning."
The Empress was even more surprised. 'How is Li Zhaoyuan involved in this?'
She immediately ordered someone to call Li Zhaoyuan in.
Li Zhaoyuan entered Mingxiu Pavilion, supported by attendants.
She had clearly run here in a panic. Her face was covered in a cold sweat, and her eyes were wide with terror.
The moment she saw the Emperor, it was as if she'd seen her savior, and she dropped to her knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhao has been secretly hiding the Jade Seal! He plans to rebel!"
