As the final ministers left the court session, the expressions on their faces were unspeakably ugly.
What they needed to do first and foremost was to find out... just which family did the Empress come from? Who exactly was she?
After all, it was the Empress's throne; it couldn't possibly belong to a woman without name or fame, right?
If that were the case, where would these noble families put their faces?
So without getting any information from the Emperor, they couldn't wait to have people go out and inquire.
As for those in the know, the two from the Ministry of Rites and the Observatory... they also wanted to block and question people.
Regrettably, those two had been called away by the Emperor in advance.
Now there was no chance for them to intercept anyone.
An overly forceful and ruthless monarch was not a good thing for these self-serving ministers.
