บท 600: The Emperor Awakens

Two days had passed since the incident at the Fragrant Teahouse.

In the past two days, the commoners had never stopped denouncing the old prince for imprisoning innocent women. The scholars have also begun to criticize him.

News of his crimes was pasted on the streets and alleys, implying that he could not be forgiven simply because of his status.
