Even if he was his son, he could not turn a blind eye to it.
The following day, during the court session, he announced that Chu Xiuwen would be exiled to guard the Imperial Mausoleum for five years, with no return to Jiang Du City unless summoned.
Chu Xiuwen, originally the legitimate son of the empress, was now demoted, causing an uproar in the court.
The empress in the Fengzao Palace, upon learning the entire sequence of events from Chu Xiuwen, had bloodshot eyes. Her long nails dug into her hands as she cried out in hatred, "Su Yingxue, you've harmed my son again. I won't let you off! I want you dead!"
"Su Yingxue!"
Outside the imperial prison, Su Hao and Wu Jinyan came together to pick up Su Yingxue after her release.
Although she had spent a few days in prison and hadn't suffered much, Su Hao's face was creased with concern. "Sister! Fortunately, you came out unharmed. Otherwise, I would never let the Third Prince off!"
