The commoners who were surrounding the area earlier were quickly all gone, leaving only Yin Fufeng and Zhi Lan, and the Emperor who was standing in the corner.
"Master Yin."
"Miss Zhi Lan, do you know why I gave up this opportunity to clarify?"
As Hu Xiao’s personal maid, Zhi Lan definitely knew something!
"Master Yin must be joking. How could we servants know what the master is like? I think it must be because we completely disappoint the empress, that’s why we gave up on him."
With an apologetic smile, he turned around to leave.
Smiling at Zhi Lan, she walked towards Qin Shuo who was still standing in the corner.
"Your Majesty, you saw everything just now. What should we do now?"
"Forget it, I finally understand the Empress’s intentions. Go and inform the Prefect and clean up this matter. If you don’t even have that little ability, you aren’t worthy to be a parent of this Sui City."
After leaving those words, she left. The few of them did not realise that Xue Mier was also standing behind them.
Clenching his fists tightly, even though he had heard some gossip about Hu Xiao over the past few days, it turned out to be like this behind the scenes.
"Cousin brother, what those people said just now made Mier feel that Empress seems to have done quite well."
After hesitating for a long time, Xue Mier spoke to Wen Fuchen who was standing by the side. It could be said that she had never heard of bandit theory before, but she felt that bandit theory was normal.
It turned out that a woman could leave her husband just because she couldn’t live with him. Although there were people who had thought of that before, in an era where males were inferior to females, if a woman left the husband’s family, her days in the future would definitely be pointed out by a thousand men.
"Mier! Why would you think that? Could it be that your brain was also brainwashed by the Empress? "
did not dare agree with Hu Xiao’s thoughts just now, she should have been married off to another man in her home, if she were to marry someone in her life, no matter how unbearable that person was, it would be the choice of a woman for the rest of her life, and she would definitely follow it.
"Cousin."
Wen Fuchen’s words seemed to enlighten him. Although he liked what Hu Xiao was doing, but it still wasn’t enough to cause a ruckus with his cousin who always cherished her.
"Cousin brother, Mier knows what to do."
Seeing the ugly expression on Wen Fuchen’s face, Xue Mier’s face turned even paler, as if she did not understand the meaning behind her words, and anxiously said.
"Since you understand Mier, then I will not say anymore, take care."
Even if she still wanted to say something, the current Wen Fuchen was incapable of doing so. Xue Mier’s pale face was reflected in Wen Fuchen’s eyes, the matter had to be thought through by her, but with her understanding of Xue Mier, she would definitely not do such a small thing like this.
But Wen Fuchen, who had turned around and left, ignored the hesitation that flashed across Xue Mier’s eyes.
Because there was no Hu Xiao, even if the man and the old lady were to quarrel loudly in the court, it would be useless. In the end, the yamen runners invited them out, and it was not disrespectful at all, but they also let everyone know that the emperor was protecting the Queen Hu Xiao.
This action was spread around once again among the court officials, especially when Wen Fuchen had added fuel to the fire.
"Your Majesty, although Empress has saved some women, they cannot spread it through the East Court. After all, this kind of action has never been allowed since ancient times, if a woman is unfaithful, she will have to fall into a pig’s cage. Mark, who sentenced her to prison, is now trying to have her follow his example because of the Empress’s actions, and not destroy everything left behind by her ancestors?"
Once again, the morning assembly was over, and for the past few days, they had not heard anything about Hu Xiao, so they were rather close now.
"Oh, but if there’s something wrong with what the ancestors left behind, you guys are going to imitate it too, right?"
Looking at the group of court officials below the ground whose faces were all for and who had good East Court, their haughty and aloof appearances caused Qin Shuo to feel extremely disgusted, instead of being as straightforward and at ease as Hu Xiao.
"Your Majesty, this will overturn my East Court!"
Seeing that Qin Shuo was still so stubborn, the man could not help but to resent him for failing. He did not know why Qin Shuo was so hard to talk to, it was clear that he was not like this in the past.
"Whatever, right now, the empress has said something unpleasant that can be said to be top-notch. If all of you are able to make things difficult for the empress, then I will agree to all of you."
They were just some idiots who prided themselves on being high and mighty. If they did not take it as a blow and left some trash in the imperial government, they might not need anyone else but themselves to destroy East Court.
"Your Majesty, are you serious? You want the empress to deal with all of us?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Seeing that, one of the court officials anxiously said, this was a great chance to take Hu Xiao down, and it was even admitted by the emperor himself.
"Nine words in one sentence."
"Have the empress come over."
He then told Wei Shi who was beside him to quickly leave after receiving his orders.
"What?" If I don’t show up, then why did His Majesty decide to send me? Furthermore, I remember that I already told His Majesty very clearly yesterday that even if those ministers wanted to do something or wanted to force me to do something, it would be fine.
Just as he was about to send this man away, Zhi Lan, who was standing at the side, was unwilling to do so.
Those court officials bullied the Empress too much, bullying her time and time again, did they really think that Hu Xiao would not retaliate?
"Empress!" "If you don’t go today, there will definitely be endless ways to bother you in the future. Why don’t you pinch their spirit and make it so that they won’t be able to catch up!"
Zhi Lan was easily rash, now that she had this group of people who had come to find trouble with Hu Xiao first, she hated that she couldn’t just go up and punch them a few times, so that they would all hide inside their houses in the future, not daring to come out and cause trouble.
"Esteemed Empress, His Majesty has just ordered the court officials to return. He seems to want them to go down and discuss the matter. Esteemed Empress can consider this as an opportunity to establish her authority."
After Wei Shi heard the eunuch behind him speak, he stopped Zhi Lan who was about to rush out to teach a lesson to the courtiers because he did not want to bother with the formalities.
Zhi Lan, I know what to do, do not be so impulsive. Eunuch Wei, please tell His Majesty, Chenqie will not disappoint His Majesty. "
She seemed to not put anything in her eyes, and also seemed to not want to pay attention to anything. However, felt that since Hu Xiao was able to say it out loud, she definitely had the confidence to do so.
"Then, I wish the Empress success, and this servant will take his leave first."
After saluting, he turned around and left.
Sighing, she said: "Zhi Lan, let’s go for a walk. Although we don’t want to care about this anymore, since the people support me like this, I will definitely do what I have to do."
