Hu Lunzuomeng knew about the Military Symbol, but only the King knew the true appearance of the Military Symbol. This was also the reason why he could only besiege Hera and imprison her.

He had never seen the appearance of a Military Symbol before.

The North King was also wise. When he realized that the situation was serious and his body was sick to the point of being blind, he decisively handed the Military Symbol over to Queen Hera.

That was why Queen Heran was able to remain calm and collected in front of Hu Lunzuomeng.

His words just now caused the atmosphere in the side chamber to turn heavy. Mu Yanran laughed and said, ”Queen Heran is getting serious. ”Now that the situation has been decided, why would Queen Heran make things difficult for herself and Zo Meng? When the time comes, you will be Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and your glory and wealth will be inexhaustible.”

She smiled gently. Her words were clearly threatening, but it did not sound like she was resisting.

”I also know that you're waiting for Prince Yuerong to return, but he's not your son. Even if he becomes king and respects you as the empress dowager, what's the difference between that and Prince Zomeng?” As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree. You handed over the Military Symbol today, and thus, your Tribes can be titled the number one clan in the Northern Kingdom. On the other hand, if today you and Seventh Prince were to become strong, what benefits would you and your family receive? ”

The meaning behind her words was that the Crown Prince of Queen Heran had died in an accident in the palace long ago. Now that she didn't have a biological son, it didn't matter who she helped to ascend to the throne.

If anyone else had heard Mu Yanran's words, they might have agreed with it too. Or perhaps it was as everyone knew, Hu Lunzuomeng and Yu Lun Zuoying were both born of Northern King's concubine, the same as Queen Heran helping anyone to ascend to the throne, she might actually agree to it today.

But in reality, the crown prince under her name was not her. Her own son had been replaced by her since long ago, and no one would have thought that Queen Heran, after carefully gaining the trust of the king, would hand the Military Symbol over to her when the king was in critical danger.

And Seventh Prince's actions these days could be said to indirectly help her. She was now waiting for his own son!

After so many years of planning in her heart, Queen Heran was naturally unwilling to give in so easily.

She glowered at Hu Lunzuomeng and said, ”You also said that I can give the Military Symbol to anyone I want, but why didn't I give it to Prince Zuo Ying? If your royal father were to be imprisoned, if I hand the Military Symbol over to him, he would at least be able to legitimately summon the troops of the thirteen Tribes s to the Duke's side! ”
