The next morning, Su Ji did not delay the court session. When it was time to leave, she said something that made all the ministers suspect that something was wrong.
"All of you have worked hard. Go home early and rest today."
"...?"
Ning Bianyi blinked his eyes suspiciously, his wrists turning purple from the pinching in his sleeves, but he still couldn't hold it in and said sarcastically, "if it weren't for Your Highness' bold and decisive reform of the court, I wouldn't have to work so hard…"
As soon as he finished speaking, some people from the same party winked at him. Ning Bian was too quick with his words and felt that he had misspoken.
Carrying out reforms was a matter of benefiting the people, and as ministers, they should share the worries and difficulties of the emperor.
Although…the Consort Dowager was not the emperor!
However, he was not in a position to say that.
