C19

After leaving the imperial court, Empress Dowager Yu went back to Kunning Palace first. Everyone knew that she was angry.

The emperor, who hadn't returned yet, watched her leave respectfully. He secretly rejoiced in his heart. He knew that in the future, there would be more and more of these things happening, and his mother would have less and less authority.

When the emperor left the court, all the ministers left in groups of three to three. Only Empress Dowager Yu and her group stayed behind, waiting for Yu Dingwen to come out.

He knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. Since there was a letter written by the author, all the important points should be in the content of the letter written by the author, and this matter was only just the beginning, so he had to consider it carefully. It was not convenient for him to see Empress Dowager Yu now, so he could only return to the outside of the palace.

"Shuhan!"

Before Yu Dingwen left, he said these two words. Empress Dowager Yu and her gang were smart people too, so they immediately nodded.

"That's so infuriating! How could this be? The Emperor's faction actually dared to openly oppose them? "Since you started off with Yu Dingwen, and knew that I was the closest to him and was your favorite nephew, how could you take off such a big hat? Damn it!"

Although she was angry, she didn't dare to be too angry. Everything in her hall was recorded in the book, she didn't want to let Lou Yiyang know her state of mind, so he could easily lead her away.

The Emperor's actions were really ruthless. With such a big hat, it would make her the empress dowager, but it would also be inconvenient for her to intervene, not to mention that she would also implicate the Lady Yu Clan. If she was a little careless, it would be a disaster for the Emperor!

"Go. Gather all the ministers here. Tell them to invite us to a banquet."

Empress Dowager Yu could not do anything now. Although she could not openly summon the ministers, the method of inviting them to the banquet was still very safe. However, everyone knew that the invitation must be related to Yu Dingwen's secret communication of Balie Kingdom.

If it wasn't at this moment, Empress Dowager Yu definitely wouldn't have acted so rashly. Yu Dingwen had to be protected, and the one who could advise and trust her the most was only Yu Dingwen. What should she do? If it wasn't for the fact that he had kept his trump card, he probably wouldn't be able to hold him back now.

At this point, Empress Dowager Yu's complexion looked slightly better.

Empress Dowager Yu's group were all present, and all the ministers knew that right now was an extraordinary period. If their side could not stand firm on their feet, then they could only wait to be replaced, after all, with the emperor's character, Lou Yiyang, who would always take revenge, would definitely not trust them. If he stood in the wrong group, it was very easy to bring about a fatal disaster.

But right now, they clearly knew that it was a frame-up, but they didn't have the slightest bit of evidence. All the favorable physical evidence, especially that letter, was not in their hands, and the words written on it were the same as Yu Dingwen's handwriting.

The aides were helpless and did not have any good suggestions.

During the banquet, Empress Dowager Yu's faction only mentioned Yu Dingwen's two words before he returned: "Shuhan."

With Empress Dowager Yu's intelligence, of course she had thought of it. But where would she start to investigate this matter?

A few ministers were seated below, feeling troubled. It seemed like they needed to understand the contents and the handwriting of the letter.

When they were at the Imperial Court this morning, the eunuchs at the side of the emperor had already read over the book, but that was only a cursory glance. They did not pay any attention to it, and were immediately put away by the servants at the side of the emperor.

Empress Dowager Yu was treating him to a banquet, while the emperor, Lou Yiyang, was not idle either.

In the Imperial Study, Lou Yiyang laughed heartily.

"Lord Shang Shu is truly good at scheming. With such a big hat, I want to see how Mother will deal with it. I believe that she will not give up on Yu Dingwen. After all, Mother does not have many advisers at her side."

Lou Yiyang was in a great mood. He had a gentle and innocent appearance to begin with, but now, he became a bit cunning.

I believe that Yu Dingwen won't be able to get away easily this time. However, Your Majesty, you should send him directly to the clan's Mansion. The more anxious Empress Dowager Yuxin is, the more loopholes she will have.

Even though they were called Assistant Minister, which was decided by the previous emperor, and there was even ancient teachings about them, they wanted to hand over the Imperial Jade Seal when the emperor became an adult and let power rule over the emperor. However, the current emperor was already a weak young man and had long passed the age of adulthood. However, Empress Dowager Yu was greedy for power, so she didn't hand over the Imperial Jade Seal.

Although they did not want to see internal unrest, and furthermore, the Balie Kingdom had always been eyeing them covetously.

Empress Dowager Yu had been caught unprepared by this desperate move. She had already lost her chance to strike first, without even having the slightest chance to prepare for it.

No matter what, right now the Queen Mother is in charge of government. Since the Queen Mother has already given her opinion, if I do not comply, then it would appear that I have disrespected the etiquette of the Queen. Not only that, if there is really no need to refute, then I will force Yu Dingwen into the clan.

Although Lou Yiyang also wanted to make the same decision, he couldn't rush this matter. Moreover, some things weren't ready yet, but that day wasn't too far away. After so many years, it really wasn't that long.

Both sides were thinking of their own plans and came up with their own ideas!

Every day after the morning assembly, there would be a palace maid reporting to Great Empress Dowager and the Wei clan about the important matters of the morning assembly. Today was no exception.

Very quickly, the palace maid jogged all the way to the main palace hall of the Tzu Ning Palace to make her report.

"What?" How is that possible? I've seen Yu Dingwen that child a lot of times and I understand him a little. I even admire him a little. "Then, is Shuhan certain that it's Yu Dingwen's notebook?"

When Great Empress Dowager heard about such a big matter, the bowl of tea she had just picked up was instantly put down. She was too shocked that she didn't even have time to drink her favorite snow-capped mountain hair tea.
