The Empress Dowager believed that things would develop in a better direction.
Perhaps it won't be long before Feng Guche issues an order to allow Shen Biyun to return to her previous residence instead of remaining in the Cold Palace.
However, Feng Guche's actions today have greatly surprised the Empress Dowager.
He actually wants to cripple Shen Biyun?
At this point, even the officials who had previously spoken up for Shen Biyun were at a loss for what to do.
"Your Majesty, this is ultimately a major matter, and I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."
Among the crowd, an oblivious official suddenly stepped forward and spoke again.
Feng Guche was furious.
"What could be more important than poisoning a king? So, you mean to let this wicked woman continue to plot against me?"
"What are your intentions in allowing such treacherous people to lie on my bed? Do you resent that I survived my serious illness?"
"I tell you, it is inevitable that Empress Shen Biyun will be deposed today, and no amount of pleading will help!"
Feng Guche's voice resounded throughout the entire hall, and no one dared to make a sound anymore.
Now, even the most confused person can understand one principle.
If we continue to speak up for Shen Biyun, we are going against the Emperor.
You should know that Shen Biyun was the one who wanted to poison the Emperor!
"I know you may not believe what I'm saying, so I'll bring you witnesses!"
After Feng Guche finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved.
Then, Imperial Guards led several palace maids and eunuchs into the main hall, and the one in the lead was Chen Quan.
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt in the main hall, their faces filled with fear.
In front of everyone, Chen Quan recounted how Shen Biyun had tried to poison the Emperor that day.
Everyone was terrified and didn't dare to utter a sound.
By the end, Chen Quan was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Your servant Chen Quan swears with his own life that everything he has said is true. I beg you gentlemen to ensure His Majesty's safety."
While everyone was still wondering why Chen Quan would say such a thing, and before they could figure out what was going on, Chen Quan suddenly stood up and slammed his head against a pillar in the main hall.
It moved so fast that no one had time to stop it.
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, Chen Quan collapsed to the ground.
Everyone saw that Chen Quan's forehead was covered in blood and flesh, and he had already fainted.
"Good heavens, this little eunuch is just trying to prove his innocence by dying, afraid we won't believe him!"
"Poor little eunuch, this is a life! He's even using his death to prove what he said is true. It seems this matter can't be fake."
"How could Her Majesty the Empress be such a person? Was her former dignified and virtuous demeanor all an act?"
"This is His Highness the Crown Prince's birth mother! No wonder the Emperor is so determined to depose Shen Biyun from her position as Empress. With a mother like this, His Highness the Crown Prince will really be misled!"
"His Majesty did this not to vent his anger, but for the sake of the entire country and the entire court!"
"Your Majesty is right to do so. Such a person should absolutely not remain by Your Majesty's side!"
The wind direction suddenly shifted to the opposite direction.
At this moment, almost all the civil and military officials were speaking in favor of Feng Guche.
Mu Chenshuang's face remained expressionless as she coldly watched everything unfolding before her.
