He didn't even hear Mo Yunhan's sarcastic remarks, and nervously issued the order.
"Your Majesty, bring the captured person back to me immediately."
These words were like pouring tung oil on Mo Yunzhao's already raging anger.
He was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Have they become so blatant about having an affair?
What do they consider his dignity as emperor!
Just then, a sharp, aged shout came from outside the door.
You truly have no sense of propriety or shame!
Mo Yunzhao was shocked and immediately turned around.
Then they saw the retired emperor walking in, supported by the old eunuch.
I don't know how much of it I heard.
Just as he was about to step forward to pay his respects, the Emperor Emeritus had already walked up to the Empress Dowager.
Slap him!
The old eunuch bowed slightly and slapped the Empress Dowager across the face.
The Empress Dowager was so badly beaten that she staggered and almost fell over.
She was on edge from the series of events that happened early in the morning, and this slap felt like a snapping string.
She stood there, stunned, covering her face, unsure of what to do.
Granny Gui was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been wronged. We beg Your Majesty to show mercy and see the truth."
The retired emperor gave a cold laugh.
"She's been wronged? Everyone in this courtyard saw it; that naked man came out of her bedroom. What injustice does she have?"
The Empress Dowager finally came to her senses.

"How could you accuse me like this? You knew perfectly well..."

He could only lower his head in resentment.
They thought the retired emperor would just give them a few words of reprimand, but unexpectedly, a cold and aged imperial edict rang out above their heads.
"From this day forward, the Empress Dowager's imperial edict and seal are to be withdrawn, the Kunning Palace is to be sealed off, and all palace maids and eunuchs are to be imprisoned. The Red Armor Guards shall take over."
The Empress Dowager turned ashen-faced and collapsed to the ground in disbelief.
The retired emperor once again turned his gaze to her almost wrinkle-free face.
"You are the emperor's birth mother. For the sake of the Great Zhou's reputation, I will not issue an edict. You should take care of yourself."
After saying that, he took the old eunuch's hand and left.
As he passed by Mo Yunhan, he said calmly, "Come with me."
