Xue Miao-er's Return to Beijing

Their relationship from the very beginning was to the end. It was very normal for the emperor to dislike the empress, given that Imperial Concubine Xue had interfered previously.

"I am glad that you can think this through. Don't worry, I will protect the Xie Clan's reputation." The Emperor promised the Queen.

"Thank you, your majesty." The Queen saluted.

The emperor had to protect the reputation of the Xie Clan, at the very least at this time. If the Humble Class students succeeded and the Duke of Xie was disgraced, wouldn't that mean they would have to face each other head-on?

This is not what the Emperor wishes to see.

The next day, the emperor announced that the Duke of Xie was fine and the debate continued.

This time, the officials in power had lost the Duke of Xie to watch over them, and the emperor's attitude was obscure. They were at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, and their opponents were Lu Tianchu.
