A cry of "The Emperor is wise" pierced through the clouds.
It echoed within the spacious grand hall.
The faces of the Empress Dowager and the Empress turned purple with anger.
What a wise Emperor!
What a wise Emperor siding with the bandits!
The Empress's gaze was chilling, her heart filled with resentment, yet she couldn't argue back.
That day, the Emperor favored Su Jin but heavily punished the Duke Zhen's Mansion.
The Emperor acted on the first day, and they responded on the fifteenth, insisting that the wasp nest fell from the tree, leaving the Emperor helpless against them.
But despite all their calculations, they didn't expect their scheme would fail, and it would be Princess Shouning and themselves who would suffer.
It was already infuriating enough, but the Emperor even deducted her salary!
