A light sentence, and the Emperor's face looked worse than being beaten, it was a contempt towards him as the Emperor!
The evidence was conclusive, yet as the Emperor, he lacked the courage to bring people to justice, this was foolishness, incompetence.
Suddenly, it intensified the Emperor's anger.
Yun Chu stood aside, filled with gratitude towards Shen Junshan, she knew Shen Junshan beat the Emperor firstly to vent for Yan Ning, and secondly for her.
Having beaten the Emperor, while he was angry, he would be more easily provoked.
Once he agrees to Shen Junshan's thorough investigation, he couldn't back down, because he had already broken his promise to Yan Ning, regardless of what was said, he couldn't do it.
Sure enough, the Emperor slammed the Dragon Desk angrily and said, "I will definitely investigate thoroughly!"
As for the Empress Dowager, after leaving the Imperial Study, the coldness on her face deepened.
