After all, they still had to worry about what would happen to the Wei and Wang families if they bet on the wrong person and lost.
When Zheng Quchi couldn't find Wei Yao and the others, he hurried to the Liu family's house.
Liu Fengmian is at home, but Duke Liu has also entered the palace. It is said that it is for the matter of Empress Ye. He has not left the palace yet, and the specific situation is unknown.
"Empress Ye hasn't been arrested yet. It seems there might be more twists and turns in this matter. The palace is now completely surrounded. Could it be that the Crown Prince has lost and has been placed under house arrest by Empress Ye?" Zheng Quchi was getting anxious.
Liu Fengmian asked, "What if he wins?"
"How can he win? The Imperial Guards are mostly Empress Ye's men, and most of the palace guards are also her people. With the few men he has, he'll probably be beaten half to death and locked up."
Liu Fengmian's lips twitched upon hearing this.

“Nobody’s stupid. Putting aside the suspicious aspects of this matter, given Empress Ye’s long-standing power, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.” Liu Fengmian understood the mentality of these courtiers best. He then asked her, “So what do you plan to do now?”
What else can we do?
Now that things have come to this, Zheng Quchi steeled his heart: "Since they don't listen to laws and regulations and only believe in whoever has the strongest fist, then we can also bully others by relying on our power. Let's see who holds more power in Shengjing!"
