Guo Yuanjing discussed with the Empress how to save Guo Youde and finally decided that Guo Yuanjing would go to Zhao Yujin and the Empress would beg the Emperor for mercy. Guo Yuanjing came to the Junwang residence and only told Zhao Yujin that he was going to save Guo Youde. Zhao Yujin felt suspicious, so he asked if Guo Youde had done anything bad. Guo Yuanjing, seeing that he couldn't hide it, told the truth.
Zhao Yujin, upon hearing that Guo Youde had done such outrageous things, refused to help Guo Yuanjing. On the drill ground, Guo Youde was still unconvinced by Ye Zhao, saying that Ye Zhao was a sissy and had no ability. Ye Zhao was furious and immediately took off her armor, dressing in women's attire. Only then did Guo Youde realize that Ye Zhao was serious, but it was too late.
Ye Zhao raised her black iron whip, tightened it around Guo Youde's neck, and killed him directly. The soldiers tied up behind him were terrified and fainted when they saw that Ye Zhao had really punished Guo Youde. The Empress came to the Emperor and only cried that her nephew had made a small mistake and was about to be killed by Ye Zhao.
In fact, the Emperor had already received the news that Guo Youde had disregarded the law and taken lives lightly, angering Ye Zhao, so seeing the Empress pleading for mercy, he did not intend to help.
Seeing that the Emperor had no intention of helping her, the Empress had to leave and think of another way, but just as she walked out of the room, she received the news that Guo Youde had been killed by Ye Zhao with a black iron whip. From then on, the Empress harbored a grudge against Ye Zhao in her heart. Recently, the Empress Dowager's health was not good.
When attending court, she read out an imperial edict, deciding to return the power to the Emperor. The Emperor finally took personal control of the government and recalled Fan Zhongyan, who had been demoted, and decided to entrust Fan Zhongyan with important tasks. Fan Zhongyan suggested that the Xixia Imperial Uncle and the Liao Prince, who had been captured by Ye Zhao before, should be released and returned to their dynasties to show the Song Dynasty's intention to seek peace.
The Emperor agreed and released the two. The Emperor and Fan Zhongyan were walking in the Imperial Garden when they were seen by Consort Zhang. Consort Zhang's heart stirred, and she sent the palace maids beside her to serve the Emperor, and went to the Imperial Kitchen alone. Consort Zhang came to the Imperial Kitchen and exchanged pleasantries with Chief He of the Imperial Kitchen. It turned out that Consort Zhang wanted to cook some home-style dishes for the Emperor.
When Consort Zhang was discussing with Chief He, she was overheard by the spy that the Empress Guo had placed in the Imperial Kitchen. The Empress Guo rushed over after receiving the news, making things difficult for Consort Zhang, and was preparing to punish Consort Zhang in public.
Chief He stepped forward and said that Consort Zhang was specially permitted by the Emperor to enter and leave the Imperial Kitchen at will, so it was not wrong and should not be punished. After hearing this, the Empress Guo had no choice but to leave in anger. Consort Zhang continued to cook, and after finishing it, she took it to the Imperial Garden for the Emperor and Fan Zhongyan to taste.
The Emperor tasted it and thought it was very delicious, so he praised Consort Zhang. After the meal, the group walked together in the Imperial Garden. Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but chant Liu Yong's poem when he saw the spring scenery in the garden. The Emperor didn't like Liu Yong's poem, so he didn't listen too carefully. Turning around and seeing Consort Zhang admiring the flowers, he stepped forward and spoke to Consort Zhang.
Fan Zhongyan saw that the Emperor didn't want to pay attention to him for a while, so he retreated to the distance first. The Empress Guo failed to punish Consort Zhang and was angry. She took her maid and walked behind a rockery in the Imperial Garden. Seeing that the flowers on the branches were blooming well, she asked the maid to break off two branches and hold them in her hand to play with.
Unfortunately, she saw the Emperor holding Consort Zhang's hand and talking to Consort Zhang, and was very jealous. Consort Zhang said that she was going to pick some flowers behind the rockery. When she came to the back mountain, she saw that the Empress was also there. They quarreled with each other and started fighting. The maid tried to stop them many times, but it was useless. The Emperor heard the noise and rushed over.
In a moment of desperation, Consort Zhang hid behind the Emperor. The Empress Guo didn't stop in time and slapped the Emperor, scratching his neck and drawing blood. Fan Zhongyan saw that the situation was not good from a distance, and quickly came closer to check the Emperor's injury. Seeing that his Empress had become so fierce, the Emperor was very disappointed and left with his hands in his sleeves. The Empress Guo and Consort Guo hurried to follow behind.
After the imperial physician applied medicine to the Emperor, the Emperor began to question the Empress and Consort about what had happened. In the end, he found that the Empress Guo had started the trouble first, coupled with the previous incident of Guo Youde, the Emperor was very disappointed with the Empress Guo for a time, and ordered to strip the Empress Guo of the power to manage the harem.
The news that the Empress Guo's power was taken away spread outside the palace. Liu Taifu and the Prime Minister were discussing matters. After knowing this news, they felt that since the power had been taken away, it was not far from stripping the title. The two began to plan what to do next, and finally decided to bring down the Empress Guo first, and take the opportunity to bring down the Empress Guo's brother, Guo Fushan.
This Guo Fushan had repeatedly contradicted the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister had long been dissatisfied with him, so it would not be a bad idea to bring him down by this opportunity. The next day in court, Liu Taifu played on the Emperor with the crime of the Empress Guo having no children for many years and requested to abolish the Empress.
Guo Fushan naturally could not let his sister be at the mercy of others, so he bowed his head and pleaded for his sister. For a time, the Emperor was also very difficult to make a decision.
