The Yun family's incident swiftly "reached" the Emperor's ears.
The Emperor became furious and commanded the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple to investigate closely. If the situation proved to be mere rumors, justice would be restored to Duke Uncle Yun; but if it was not rumors, then relatives of the royal family who broke the law must be punished just as commoners are!
The common people applauded, believing the Emperor's actions to be extremely fair and just, not shielding his royal relatives from the law.
One must know, that Duke Uncle Yun was none other than the Empress's own elder brother.
