Chapter 1261: Protective (2)
Mu Yangling rushed back to the capital that very afternoon, shocking the officials who were paying attention to King Rong’s estate. They couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
Right after they bullied the young one, the mother was back. Could it be that she was back to protect him?
Harboring this suspicion, these quick-witted officials obediently reported during the court meeting the next day. They no longer had to ask for Qi Wenjin’s opinion on everything like yesterday.
This disappointed Little Bear, who had been waiting for a long time. He was so excited that he didn’t sleep the entire night last night, but today, no one asked him anything.
Little Bear drooped his head, and the ministers who were secretly paying attention to him heaved a sigh of relief.
However, not everyone had such insight. Some officials had long disliked King Rong’s family’s arrogance.
The incident of everyone making things difficult for Qi Wenjin yesterday was still deeply engraved in their minds, so they thought that King Rong’s estate had angered everyone. Naturally, they were eager to continue the momentum today.
Hence, just as Little Bear was lowering his head in disappointment, an imperial censor standing in the middle back stepped forward solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, the saying that the prime minister’s power is too great to create chaos was suggested by Queen Consort Rong. Prince Rong was raised by Her Highness, so he should know this the best. What do you think about this, Your Highness?"
The Imperial Court instantly fell silent.
As the first few officials were really discussing whether to weaken the Prime Minister’s power and how to weaken it, it wasn’t inappropriate for this imperial censor to suddenly stand up and raise this question. Still, anyone with eyes could tell that his question was directed at Little Bear.
