"The Emperor is the foundation of the nation, and the Empress is the foundation of the harem. Turmoil in the harem will inevitably affect the fate of the dynasty. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider."
"Since her investiture, Her Majesty the Empress has diligently managed the inner palace and has been a role model for all the ladies and ministers. Your Majesty must not make such a decision based on a momentary impulse!"
Mu Quan finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Feng Guche.
Feng Guche's lips remained tightly pressed together, unmoved in the slightest.
Once Mu Quan started speaking, the other civil and military officials also began to praise the Empress.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is dignified and virtuous, and should be the mother of the current Crown Prince. Your Majesty must not easily depose the Empress."
"Even if Her Majesty the Empress has done something wrong, she is now in the Cold Palace, which can be considered a punishment for her. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."
"Your Majesty's decision to depose the Empress is a matter of great importance to the nation. Your Majesty must think carefully before acting."
...
The civil and military officials spoke one after another, and their meaning was very clear: they obviously disagreed with Feng Guche's decision to depose Shen Biyun.
Seeing the officials in the court so united, the Empress Dowager felt a little relieved.
What exactly is Feng Guche doing? Could it be that he's really being controlled by that bitch Cang Xixue?
As everyone knows, Cang Xixue now controls the government of the six palaces. Shen Biyun has already retreated to this point. Is Cang Xixue still not willing to accept this?
Although Feng Guche did not publicly announce that he would depose Shen Biyun and then make Cang Xixue his empress, the meaning was already very clear.
Without the Empress, wouldn't the Imperial Noble Consort be the most powerful woman in the harem?
The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, then looked at Feng Mo Ran, who was standing ramrod straight.
This mother and son are both quite formidable.
One controls the harem, while the other stirs up trouble in the court. If this continues, the entire Tianzhao Kingdom will cease to exist!
The Empress Dowager sensed a serious crisis, and her expression became increasingly solemn.
Only after everyone had fallen silent did the Empress Dowager speak up and ask a question.
"Your Majesty must have made this decision for a reason. I want to understand why Your Majesty insists on deposing the Empress?"
"Since none of you know the reason, then I will explain it to you clearly!"
Feng Guche stood up, looked around at everyone, and then revealed to the public that Shen Biyun had poisoned his food that day.
After hearing this, everyone was once again dumbfounded.
The court today is truly in turmoil.
First the Prime Minister was convicted, then the Empress was deposed. Is the entire Tianzhao Kingdom really about to change?
While Feng Guche was speaking, the Empress Dowager kept staring into his eyes. Seeing Feng Guche's exasperated appearance, even the Empress Dowager dared not say that Feng Guche had not thoroughly investigated the matter.
But would Shen Biyun really do that?
At first, the Empress Dowager had heard some rumors, but Feng Guche never mentioned it to her, so the Empress Dowager assumed that the matter was over.
After all, when the emperor banished Shen Biyun to the cold palace, he did not revoke her title.
According to the way ordinary people think, even if there was some conflict between Feng Guche and Shen Biyun, the time when they were at their most angry was that moment.
Decisions not made at the time will gradually lessen your anger over time.
