Bab 279: After the hype dies down, everyone will settle their scores one by one.

Madam Si hurriedly entered the palace, fully expecting to see the Empress Dowager.

But to her surprise, she couldn't even get through the palace gate, let alone regain her qualification to enter, which the Emperor had revoked.

No sooner had Emperor Mingjing taken over the case of the Jingsi Nunnery, than Yingtian Prefecture was visited by a group of people who had lost their daughters, coming to file a complaint.

The Prefect was beset with problems from all sides.

How long had it been since the complaint drum was last beaten?

He couldn't believe that all this was not aimed at the Si Family!

Still, the Prefect did not dare to take any rash actions, who knew if Emperor Mingjing would continue to foolishly protect the Si Family this time?
