After Wen Wan returned to the room, she briefly explained Lin Xiaoyue's situation to Song Wei and then asked him, "When will Prime Minister Su return to court?"
Song Wei calculated the days and said, "It should be around the beginning of spring."
Wen Wan's heart tightened, "Once he resumes his official duties, won't he have to look for ways to deal with my husband everywhere?"
Song Wei said, "After all, he's the Imperial Uncle. The Emperor, for the sake of preserving the bigger picture, can't really let him step down. However, with that case already in place, even if he returns to his official duties, the Emperor has plenty of excuses not to use him heavily."
Song Wei's words were not fabricated out of thin air but were deduced from his time spent beside Emperor Guangxi recently.
Emperor Guangxi gritted his teeth in hatred for his brother-in-law, yet with the Empress still present, he couldn't immediately uproot the Su family's power and had to plan gradually.
