The next day, despite Consort Chen's attempts to cover it up, the affair between Pei Yunzhi and Prince An Nan spread like wildfire.
Emperor Anqing was furious and immediately summoned the parties involved to the palace.
Mrs. Pei stormed into the palace, crying and making a scene, demanding the Emperor to stand up for Pei Yunzhi.
Initially, Yu Nianzhao had nothing to do with this matter, but Mrs. Pei, blind to the truth, targeted Yu Nianzhao, accusing her of being responsible for drugging Pei Yunzhi.
When Yu Nianzhao arrived at the main hall, there was a group of people kneeling on the floor, all from the Pei Family.
What a sight. The whole family gathered and knelt in Jinluan Hall.
"Zhaozhao, you are here!"
Upon seeing Yu Nianzhao, Emperor Anqing slightly relaxed his expression and gestured, "Give Princess Consort Su a seat."
Yu Nianzhao sat beside Xie Jiuxiao, and the contrast between sitting and standing indicated their vastly different statuses.
