Empress Wen, probably even in her dreams, never imagined that in this palace revolt that has been plotted for this long, prepared for this long, paying countless price in between, she practically didn’t even enjoy a single moment of victory, yet she has already become a hostage with swollen cheeks, an aching head, and a sharp blade propped against her neck.
And for Li Consort who was merely two steps away from her, her thoughts were also somewhat similar. Just, comparing the two sides, Li Consort clearly was a bit more composed. In fact, after the empress shouted at the soldiers and guards outside to retreat, Li Consort didn’t get affected too much by the gaze of the other madams, instead even able to look towards Ming Jinrou and the others, “Crown princess, it’s better for you to be more tactful. Even if taking us hostage, you are also powerless to reverse the situation!”
At this moment, the near a hundred madams inside Yanqing Hall were also very alarmed. This palace revolt although will always inevitably occur every two to three generations, but having heard of before versus personally being in the middle of one was still very different. Who knows who will be the final winner?
From the current situation, the side that launched the revolt should be the empress and Li Consort, but can Ming Jinrou’s counter really pull against the violent tides? If the people and army that the empress and Li Consort arranged were capable, already subduing or even killing the crown prince in Shengping Hall, then even if Ming Jinrou subdue the empress and Li Consort at this time, what use is there?
