"Mo Ziqi, this venomous woman killed Yu'er, and you still dare to shield her?" Empress Dowager Mo looked incredulously at her nephew standing in front of Fei'er, her gaze brimming with anguish!
Mo Ziqi said, "Empress Dowager, I dare not show favoritism. However, the truth has yet to be unearthed. I humbly ask Your Majesty to let the investigation reach its conclusion before meting out punishments. I do not dare protect my wife. If it is truly determined that she caused the princess's death, I will willingly allow Your Majesty to deal with her according to national law. But before there is evidence, I ask Your Majesty to stay your hand. If you publicly humiliate her now, and it turns out the murderer is someone else, then how shall my wife and I preserve our dignity?"
