The way the Empress Dowager handled the situation was something that no one expected.
Mu Yunhan was not happy.
It seems that he is upholding justice and raising his head for the Priest Palace.
But in everyone's eyes, it just proves what Mrs. Lin said that even the Empress Dowager is afraid of the Priest's Palace and has no choice but to wrong her mother's family.
Priests have always ignored political affairs. This is a consensus.
But now, Gu Fenglin's involvement in political affairs is exactly what the civil servants and military generals headed by Meng Xiang and others are most afraid of, and what the government and the public are most criticizing.
The Empress Dowager's move seemed like she was swallowing her anger, but it was actually a bigger move.
It is conceivable how much public opinion the Lin family will cause after killing the cat, and what a difficult situation Gu Fenglin will face.
The tax reform will inevitably fail to be implemented, and Gu Fenglin will inevitably be forced to retreat to the Priest's Palace to lie dormant.
What should she do?
Mu Yunhan was certain that the Empress Dowager and Meng Xiang had indeed joined forces.
This dispute seems to be just a matter of two cats, but the hidden methods behind it are very cruel.
A single move can affect the whole body, so you must be careful when dealing with it.
She knelt down without hesitation and interceded for Mrs. Lin's cat: "Please calm down, the Queen Mother. It's just a cat. Cats don't understand human affairs. How can we restrain them with human rules?"
I sincerely request three matchmakers and six betrothals to marry the cat. In this way, everyone will know that the whole court is in harmony and avoid groundless speculation that the Priest Palace is at odds with the Lin family. I ask the Empress Dowager to grant her permission."
"Who wants to marry your cat? The cat cries and the mouse pretends to be compassionate! Even if you die, you won't marry!"
Mrs. Lin was in the middle of the situation and didn't understand these powerful relationships at all. She only thought about how badly she was being bullied, which was really annoying.
"Please do it, the Empress Dowager!" Mu Yunhan lowered his head with a pious look on his face, but he was furious in his heart.
If the Empress Dowager really dared to execute the cat, she would dare to wear sackcloth and mourn for the cat.
Is it more shameless than having a thick face?
She can also risk it.
The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Yunhan and remained silent.
Empress Dowager Shen had a gap in her heart, and after looking around, she understood what was going on.
He immediately stood up to plead for mercy, but Princess Huaichang gently pulled her back and gave her a hint in her eyes, saying that it would be better not to add fuel to the fire.
Empress Dowager Shen hesitated for a moment, shook her head, straightened her clothes, and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager: "It's just a trivial matter for your mother to calm down your anger.
Cats and dogs, if they are together today, they will not be together tomorrow. Why should we magnify a trivial matter and trigger groundless speculation from both the government and the public?
According to my daughter-in-law, it’s better to let go of both sides, don’t care about this matter, and just let nature take its course, okay?”
The Empress Dowager looked at Empress Dowager Shen with a half-smile but not a smile: "No, there must be an explanation for the right and wrong. To prevent others from saying that I am spoiled by my mother-in-law and ignorant!"
"Mother! How can you be so partial! Now that you have fallen to this point, you still don't care about the life and death of your mother's family... Do you want to betray your family and die alone..."
Mrs. Lin screamed, but Lin Mi covered her mouth.
The Empress Dowager was expressionless: "Ms. Yang is rude, get kicked out of the palace!"
Mrs. Lin felt so humiliated and humiliated by being treated like this. She glared at Mu Yunhan and gritted her teeth: "You and your wife worked together in collusion and harmed the country and the people. You will not die a good death!"
The palace people swarmed up and dragged her out of the palace.
Lin Mi took a deep look at Mu Yunhan, picked up her skirt and chased him out.
