Everyone heard Feng Mo Ran's voice clearly.
What's puzzling is that Feng Guche didn't refuse at this moment.
So the Imperial Guards standing not far away didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Your Majesty, even if the Prime Minister has committed a crime, you should wait for Your Majesty to determine the punishment. The Prime Minister has not yet been demoted and is ill in court. How can Your Majesty sit idly by?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Feng Guche, her tone full of questioning.
Feng Guche frowned slightly and said in a muffled voice, "Then let's take them away first and rescue them."
Soon, the guards at the door and several imperial guards entered the main hall together and forcibly dragged the unconscious Shen Chaoxian out.
Seeing this scene, Mu Chenshuang frowned even more deeply.
It seems that the Emperor is determined to punish Prime Minister Shen.
After Prime Minister Shen was dragged away, the entire hall immediately returned to calm.
The Empress Dowager stood up and turned to look at Mu Chenshuang.
"Girl, we should go back now. I'm a little tired."
Mu Chenshuang nodded, and was about to help the Empress Dowager leave when Feng Guche's voice came again.
"Your Majesty, please wait. There is one more thing I have not yet said. Now that Your Majesty has arrived, please listen to what I have to say before proceeding to Ning'an Palace!"
Feng Guche's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was full of command.
The Empress Dowager's heart tightened, and she wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
But then he thought again, this is the main hall where civil and military officials hold court and discuss state affairs. If he just walked away like this in front of everyone, it would be disrespectful to the emperor.
So the Empress Dowager suppressed her anger and sat back in her previous seat.
Mu Chenshuang stood beside the Empress Dowager once again.
All the civil and military officials knew that since the emperor came to the hall, he said he had two things to say. Now that one matter had been dealt with, the next matter must be of great importance.
Everyone was guessing in their hearts, but they had no clue.
Many people looked towards Mu Quan, their eyes filled with worry.
The Prime Minister has fallen, and the Marquis of Jingbian, who was like a brother to the Prime Minister, will probably suffer the same fate.
Feng Guche glanced around, then his expression turned serious.
"The fact that Shen Chaoxian fabricated evidence to frame the Prince of Libei for treason has now been confirmed. Now, I have something else to say: I... am going to depose the Empress!"
Before Feng Guche could finish speaking, all the civil and military officials were already dumbfounded.
Many people looked at the current emperor with puzzlement, some even gaping in astonishment, unable to close their mouths.
Empress Shen Biyun has already been banished to the Cold Palace by Feng Guche, is that not enough? Does the Emperor still want to kill her?
In any case, if Shen Biyun still held the title of Empress, her days in the Cold Palace wouldn't be too difficult. But if she were stripped of her title, then...
Many people were terrified and dared not think any further.
Then, the face of Imperial Noble Consort Cang Xixue flashed through people's minds again.
This matter is definitely related to Cang Xixue.
Upon hearing the Emperor's decision, Mu Quan disregarded the puzzled looks from the crowd and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't. The Empress and Your Majesty are husband and wife. As the saying goes, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Your Majesty is the ruler of the country, and the Empress is the mother of the country. They cannot be deposed so easily."
