Chapter 483: This is Prince Pingyang's Territory

The next morning, disturbances began in the capital.

The commander of the Brave Cavalry, Commander Song, entered the palace to resign, took the initiative to relinquish military power, and Imperial Noble Consort Shu knelt outside the hall to request her own exile, intending to go to Lingyun Temple to devote herself to Buddhism for the rest of her life.

The previous harem was in uproar, and civil and military officials all knelt down to plead with the Emperor to not waste human resources, as well as to show mercy to virtuous Consort Shu.

However, the Song Family was adamant about this.

The Emperor displayed a pale complexion at the court meeting. The attitude of the Song Family was clear - they suspected that he was the one who had harmed their child, and this was their way of expressing anger. The Song Family knew well that resignation was impossible and that military power was not something that could be given up so easily.
