Sheng Minglan only wanted to be a good mistress, after all, in this inner courtyard, what made the master most troubled was infighting. The Empress Dowager laid out a banquet to receive Han Zhang, and surprisingly directly agreed to stamp the handwritten edict, which greatly surprised Han Zhang. The Empress Dowager seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, but Han Zhang excitedly left with the handwritten edict.
Qi Heng and Han Zhang, among others, began to argue again in the imperial court. Han Zhang directly presented the Empress Dowager's handwritten edict, stating that the Empress Dowager was willing to posthumously confer the title of Emperor and Empress upon Zhao Zongquan's deceased parents. Zhao Zongquan was also delighted after seeing it, but Qi Heng was unwilling to believe it after seeing the handwritten edict.
Zhao Zongquan only intended to establish the title of the deceased Prince Shu, the Imperial Father. As for other matters, he dared not think about them, so he simply dismissed the court. Qi Heng, however, was still shouting that the Empress Dowager did not attend court behind a screen today, which made Zhao Zongquan very displeased. Sheng Minglan spoke with Gu Tingye about court affairs, and she was very worried about him.
Gu Tingye, however, still cared whether Sheng Minglan was worried about the Marquis or Erlang. Sheng Minglan did not understand, and hearing Gu Tingye say he wouldn't return to the main house to sleep, she was sulking and about to leave. Gu Tingye quickly pulled her back, saying that Han Zhang was coming to see him today disguised as a servant to discuss matters.
Madam Qin learned that Gu Tingye had not returned to the main house and that Zhao Zongquan had no intention of appeasing him. She immediately burst into laughter, just waiting to see Gu Tingye become a laughingstock. Qi Heng received many officials at his mansion. The Commandery Princess was very worried, fearing that he would be accused of forming a faction for selfish gain.
Now Zhao Zongquan and the Empress Dowager had each yielded a step, showing filial piety and maternal kindness, but Qi Heng insisted on wading into this murky water. Regardless of whether this mother-son affection was real or not, the seal had been stamped, and there was no turning back. Qi Heng entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager complained pitifully that Han Zhang had deliberately gotten her drunk to obtain that handwritten edict.
Qi Heng immediately felt that Zhao Zongquan was unfilial. He returned to his mansion filled with anger and told the ministers about the matter. Everyone instantly agreed to impeach him tomorrow. Duke Qi, listening from the side, was very worried, but he knew that Qi Heng would not understand some things even if told. So he simply let him go through it, only then would he remember this painful lesson.
The Empress Dowager claimed illness and wished to withdraw from regency and return power. Qi Heng, however, stubbornly held on, claiming that Han Zhang had forged the handwritten edict while the Empress Dowager was drunk, and he angrily rebutted Shen Congxing for being unfilial and disloyal. Left with no choice, Han Zhang asked the Empress Dowager to come out and personally testify.
Zhao Zongquan was originally unwilling, but the ministers were agitated, so he had no choice but to send someone to invite the Empress Dowager. Polo match. The women were discussing court affairs, and Madam Zhang, with her pregnant belly, spoke with Sheng Minglan, saying that no matter how big the storm, it would eventually end. The Empress Dowager was invited out and feigned a severe headache.
When faced with Han Zhang's questions, she actually played dumb, and only then did Shen Congxing realize he had been tricked. The Empress Dowager actually bowed to Zhao Zongquan, stating that she had already stamped the seal, so why did he need to push so hard. Han Zhang was speechless. He asked the Empress Dowager to return to the back palace to rest. Qi Heng still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Zhao Zongquan.
Qi Heng harbored a sense of justice in his heart, unaware that he was being used as a pawn. He actually asked Zhao Zongquan to remove him from his position. Qi Heng was filled with indignation, calling Han Zhang and others "wicked people." Officials from the Censorate also followed suit, asking Zhao Zongquan to dismiss Han Zhang, Shen Congxing, and their associates.
Han Zhang and his associates naturally stood on his side, leaving only Sheng Hong and a few others who remained neutral. Zhao Zongquan gritted his teeth and demoted Qi Heng and others. Rong Jie'er and Xian Jie'er looked at the accounts and each shared their insights with Sheng Minglan, who then told them to go verify. Rong Jie'er, halfway there, returned to the room.
She was worried about the relationship between Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan, as Gu Tingye had been very sullen lately and no longer told jokes to amuse her. Sheng Minglan reassured her and had Rong Jie'er sent back to her room. Madam Qin and Aunt Kang spread the word until it reached Old Madam Sheng's ears. Sheng Minglan saying she wasn't worried would also be false.
When Xian Jie'er faced Madam Qin's interrogation, she only stated that Gu Tingye was also sitting in the room. She also told Madam Shao not to bother with such idle matters anymore. Although Xian Jie'er was just a child, she kept in mind Gu Tingyu's dying wishes and did not get involved in the affairs between Madam Qin and Sheng Minglan. Gu Tingye slept in the study. Sheng Minglan came to check on him and tucked him in. The next day, Gu Tingye, enduring his injuries, got into the sedan chair and found a cushion inside.
