Upon realizing this, the Empress calmed her anger and looked at Mrs. Zhao, "Tell Xuebo that if he can handle this matter well, there's a chance for the Shu Family to turn things around, and whether they can or not depends on him."
If this matter is truly related to Noble Consort Li and her child, then when the truth comes to light, she might be able to overturn the verdict given to the Shu Family. Even if she can't, she can still ask His Majesty to be lenient and allow the Shu Family to escape their commoner status. Even if they can't return to their previous position as Duke Cheng'en, at least they would have turned their fate around.
The Empress's mind raced. This matter had both advantages and disadvantages, and it all depended on how she handled it.
Of course, she couldn't do it alone. But, didn't she have Su Xinyi?
Would Su Xinyi tell her about this matter just for the sake of it?
