Three days passed, and all was quiet.
Just when everyone thought the matter was going to blow over, news suddenly spread that Grand Tutor Qin had fallen ill and was retiring from his post.
It all happened very suddenly. Grand Tutor Qin's illness was severe this time, a fact confirmed by an Imperial Physician who had personally taken his pulse.
Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Yi, who sat across from her. She was very surprised by this outcome.
"Grand Tutor Qin is, after all, a veteran official who has served three reigns. He did indeed support me when I first ascended the throne. Allowing him to leave the court by retiring and departing the Capital City is a way to honor our past relationship."
Song Yunzhao asked doubtfully, "Grand Tutor Qin is just admitting defeat so willingly?"
If it were that easy, Grand Tutor Qin wouldn't have stubbornly held onto his position in court at his advanced age.
"I've obtained evidence of the Qin Family's crimes spanning many years."
