Zhao Heshan didn't want to embarrass Su Jinping, so he took the initiative and said, "Sir Zhao, as a provincial magistrate, has stopped my duties. I have nothing to say and willingly leave."

After finishing his words, Zhao Heshan lowered his head, bearing the grief and humiliation as he wanted to leave the stage.

But he was stopped by Su Jinpa.

"Zhao Da-ren, wait a moment."

This phrase, addressed to "Zhao DaRen," obviously refers to Zhao ShanHe, not Zhao XuanJi.

Su Jinpa's next sentence was directed at Zhao Xuanji.

"My lord Zhao, this palace naturally would not dare interfere in matters of state."

But as a wife, she could not possibly stand idly by and watch her husband's career be ruined by malicious individuals, especially since it also affected the stability of the nation and the well-being of millions.

Su Jinpa's tone was not hurried, and he spoke each word clearly and distinctly.

All the officials in the entire Taihe Palace held their breath and listened intently to every word Su Jinpa spoke.

Even with differing viewpoints, some officials at this time had to admire and praise Su Jinping's courage, bravery, and wisdom.

The harem should not interfere in politics.

But if it is between husband and wife, a wife naturally cannot stand idly by when she sees her husband's career in turmoil.

Thus explained, flawless.

The best is yet to come.

“Grand Minister Zhao, acting in his capacity as provincial governor, has dismissed Master Zhao He Shan from his post and expelled him from the Tahe Hall. This palace has no objections, naturally. This is Grand Minister Zhao exercising his authority. Right or wrong, until His Majesty awakens or the Crown Prince returns, no one can intervene.”

But if Lord Zhao insists on his own way, then this palace...

At this point, Su Jinpa took out a scroll of bright yellow from his bosom.

That brilliant yellow scroll was adorned with a unique and intricate pattern. Nowhere else in the land could such colors and designs be found, for it was... an imperial decree.

Su Jinpa single-handedly held up the imperial edict and said to Zhao Xuanji, “Before Your Highness left the capital, he was worried that his absence would cause turmoil in the city. So he left an imperial edict, entrusted to me. Mr. Zhao, do you know what this edict is about”

The imperial decree, appearing out of the blue, completely reversed the situation.

Zhao Xuanji's expression was extremely vivid.

He could guess, with his toes, that this imperial decree would be absolutely devastating for Li Chen, given his temperament.

But, is this edict true

If it's fake, not only will Su Jinpa be unable to save the Donggong faction today, she herself will be in danger.

If that were true, then things would be really serious today.

Zhao Xuanji's expression was uncertain.

This time, he found himself hesitant...

The authenticity of this imperial edict does not lie in the edict itself, but in his and Li Chen's contest of wits across a distance.

裡麵的內容具體是什麼，已經不重要了。

He wanted to bet that Li Chen really left behind such an imperial decree.

Since Li Chen took over as regent, Zhao Xuanji had been losing more than winning against him for so long.

Zhao Xuanji really couldn't afford to gamble...

Seeing Zhao Xuanji's expression change, Su Jinpa said indifferently: "This imperial edict was left by His Highness before he left the capital. It was personally written and sealed with the national seal, equivalent to the emperor's presence in person. However, His Highness also instructed that it should not be used unless absolutely necessary. In this current situation, Zhao sir, this palace is also very curious. What exactly is contained in this imperial edict Why don't we open it and read it aloud"

This statement drove Zhao Xuanji to the brink of a cliff.

The imperial decree, unopened, remains a blank page regardless of what it may contain.

Once it's opened, it's like an imperial decree directly from the emperor, carrying the weight of heaven. It cannot be revoked, no matter what is written inside. Every single person in the vast Qin Empire, from top to bottom, must obey and execute it! standing here today has overcome many obstacles. I believe that in your youth, you were all full of vigor and ambition, yearning to become upright and incorruptible officials.""Now that things have c...
