If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Imperial Concubine Yao and the Second Prince tried their best to suppress Guangning's actions, but someone still brought the matter to the attention of the Emperor through the Censorate.

The emperor didn't believe it at first.

He thought his daughter was just a little willful and would never do anything so rebellious.

Then, when the Censorate investigated Guangning for the murder of her lovers, two of them were abducted by her from the academy. She put dog chains on them and kept them in the kennel in the princess's mansion.

In the end, the two were beaten to death.

One loud sound causes a thousand waves.

After the impeachment by the Censorate, the president of the academy sat in silence outside the palace gate with his students, demanding justice from the emperor.

Then people began to impeach Concubine Yao and the second prince.

Concubine Yao allowed her daughter to commit crimes, and the second prince protected his sister. After killing someone in Guangning, he sent her to Huainan.

"Aren't the people of Huainan human beings? What did they do wrong to be persecuted by Guangning?"

The emperor was furious. He called Concubine Yao and the second prince to the imperial study and pointed at a thick stack of memorials.

"These are all accusations against you and your two children. Imperial Concubine Yao, tell me what Guangning did. You asked me to give her Huainan as a fief. It's not that she has remembered that incident, but that she killed someone. That's right and that's not right!"

Concubine Yao had been calm and composed all her life, but for the first time she felt panic and uncertainty.

"Your Majesty, Guangning has just regained those memories, and for a moment... she couldn't control her pain, so she made mistakes. It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of her. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Imperial Concubine Yao knelt down.

She did not try to evade the charges against Guangning, as the situation outside was no longer under her control.

I thought I had everything under control, but I never expected that the people on the Queen's side would be able to stir up such a big storm.

Could it be that the Qu family is still making trouble and is not what it seems? They moved their entire family to Annan, but they still have influence in the capital?

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? And you even hid it for Guangning." The emperor was furious.

"And you, I teach you how to handle government affairs every day, but you didn't tell me a word about such an important matter!"

The emperor was both disappointed and sad.

He regarded them, mother and son, as his most important family members and protected them for so many years, but they teamed up to hide so many things from him.

Now that he is still in power, his concubine and son have already condoned Guangning's evil deeds. What will happen after he passes away?

"My Lady, how many things are you hiding from me?"

Concubine Yao heard the endless disappointment in the emperor's tone, and she became more and more panicked.

"Your Majesty, I have never hidden anything from you, except Guangning..." She couldn't help crying.

She rarely showed such a weak side in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Guangning is my biological daughter. No matter how bad she is, she is still flesh and blood that fell from my body. I am selfish and want to give her another chance."

"Guangning was wrong in every way, so let me take the blame for her. The doctor said that when she thought about that incident, she sometimes couldn't control her emotions at all. She was just sick."

The emperor asked angrily, "Were those two scholars the ones who hurt her?"

"What did those young men she abducted do wrong? They deserve to be kept like dogs by her."

"You are her mother, but not only did you not teach her a lesson, you tolerated her and chose the fiefdom of Huainan for her."

"You...you..." The emperor's blood boiled and his vision went dark.

The second prince was horrified and quickly stood up to support the emperor who was falling backwards.

"Father, are you okay?"

Imperial Concubine Yao cried and begged, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will go out and apologize to those people in the academy."

The emperor held her back, but felt an even greater pain in his head.

"Quick, quick, call the imperial physician!" the second prince shouted.

Imperial Concubine Yao held the emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty, it is my fault. It is my fault."

……

Shen Sui'an's carriage stopped at a corner some distance away from the palace gate. She saw hundreds of scholars sitting quietly outside the palace gate.

She really didn't expect that things would happen in such an unexpected way.

It was indeed she who reported the matter of Guangning's murder of his lover to the Censorate.

She wanted to distract Concubine Yao and the Second Prince, otherwise it would be difficult for her to take action against Guangning.

Unexpectedly, even the headmaster and the scholar were so angry that they came out to seek justice.

She didn't believe that there was no one behind this matter.

"I thought the Qu family had escaped..." Shen Sui'an sighed deeply.

The impeachment from the Censorate and the protest from the Academy were all directed at Concubine Yao and the Second Prince.

Guangning became the sword in their hands to stab Concubine Yao and her son.

After the Qu family withdrew from Shangjing City, the direct lineage seemed to have scattered like monkeys when the tree fell, but in fact they were lying in wait, just waiting for an opportunity.

"Hurry up and find someone to go to Annan and tell Madam Qu about the situation in the capital as quickly as possible." Shen Sui'an felt that Madam Qu didn't know about this yet.

She should know the situation in Shangjing City so as to guard against being taken advantage of by others.

It was evening, the sky was getting dark, the wind was blowing hard, and it looked like a heavy snowstorm was about to come.

Some scholars who were wearing thin clothes were already shivering.

The cavalry of the Pacification Office stood on both sides in full gear, and the imperial guards outside the palace gate looked majestic.

"Dear students, it is freezing cold. You are all the future pillars of the country. I hope you all take good care of yourselves and do not continue to sit in silence outside the palace gate."

An official in crimson robes slowly walked out of the gate. This was Prime Minister Zhang.

Zhang Shoufu has always been a staunch supporter of the party.

He was once a student of Old Master Qu.

"Master Zhang, we just want justice. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The princess killed a scholar, shouldn't she be punished by law?"

"Is such a dynasty still worth our service? What's the point of us studying hard for ten years?"

"Your Majesty, please severely punish Princess Guangning."

Prime Minister Zhang raised his hands and said, "Everyone, please be patient. The emperor was deceived before and did not know the evil deeds done by Princess Guangning. Now that the emperor knows, he will definitely give a satisfactory answer to all the students in the world."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

"Empress Yao allowed her daughter to commit crimes. I hope the Emperor will punish the evil concubine severely!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Punish the demon concubine severely!"

"Punish the demon concubine severely!"

Shen Sui'an gasped as he watched the crowd become increasingly emotional.

Imperial Concubine Yao has been virtuous and kind for so many years, but now she has been branded as a witch.

"Let's go." Shen Sui'an said with a frown.

Only Prime Minister Zhang showed up throughout the whole day, which meant that Imperial Concubine Yao and the Second Prince were in trouble now.

"County Lady, just now Eunuch Youfu went to personally invite Doctor Zhou to the palace." Fuqiu said.

Shen Sui'an's expression darkened. The emperor fell ill!

Now it depends on whether Concubine Yao can stabilize the situation.
