The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Thinking of this, Jingxue said sincerely, "Your Majesty, my original intention in establishing this girls' academy was to enable these girls to study and understand principles, and then teach them a skill according to their own conditions, such as becoming female doctors. Our dynasty does not yet have female doctors, but how many women have died because of the prohibition against men and women touching each other or because women's special physical conditions have prevented them from receiving timely medical treatment? As for why we help and support the children of wounded soldiers, the reason is very simple: it is because they are too pitiful."

Li Wenqing wanted to interrupt Jingxue, but seeing the emperor's approving expression, he swallowed his words.

The emperor naturally agreed, and the empress was a living example of that.

Jingxue continued, “These girls have acquired a skill and can earn money through hard work. This way, they can support themselves and their families. Am I wrong to do this? I believe Your Majesty is wise and compassionate and will not stop me from doing this. I also thank Lord Li for giving me this opportunity to express my thoughts.”

Li Wenqing: I didn't mean to help you! I didn't.

At this moment, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Zhan's actions are truly righteous! If we really have a female physician, it will be easier to treat the noble ladies in the palace when they are unwell in the future."

“Your Majesty, you heard it too. Princess Zhan wants to send her people into the palace and place them among the nobles. Her purpose remains to be verified!” Li Wenqing quickly said.

As soon as he said that, many officials shook their heads inwardly, thinking that Li Wenqing was becoming more and more extreme.

Ye Muchen scoffed, "Lord Li, if you didn't sleep well last night, you should go back to your residence soon! Don't waste His Majesty and the ministers' time here. As an imperial censor, distorting facts and making arbitrary conclusions, I think you are the one with a terrifying heart!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to protect your queen? Or did you instruct her to do all this? Is your aim to form cliques and monopolize the court? Don't forget that your father-in-law is guilty of treason! Your Majesty, if you do not give me an explanation today, I would rather die right here in Qingyang Palace." Li Wenqing pulled out the trump card of a civil official.

This is what the emperor fears most. Ye Muchen frowned, wanting to speak again.

Jingxue spoke first, "Is Lord Li threatening suicide? Fine! Tell me! Which pillar do you want to bang your head against? Eunuch Fu, once Li Wenqing has chosen a pillar, have it cleaned!"

Grandpa Fu: "..."

How is this any of my business? But since the Princess Consort had given the order, he couldn't refuse, so he could only say, "Yes!"

The Emperor was also very angry. These civil officials kept banging their heads against pillars! But he couldn't do anything about them. Today, he would have Jingxue put an end to their bad habit.

So the emperor didn't stop it and just sat on the dragon throne watching.

Li Wenqing was also stunned. This was his last resort, so why didn't anyone stop him? It wasn't like this before!

Fortunately, Minister Liu from the Censorate stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Wenqing is also considering the interests of the court."

Actually, if Li Wenqing weren't his subordinate, he wouldn't bother with him at all! Whose son dies or not! Why did you impeach Princess Zhan for no reason? He was also puzzled as to why Li Wenqing had targeted Princess Zhan so many times.

Jingxue stepped forward and said, "Lord Liu, please don't stop Li Wenqing from pledging his loyalty! Gentlemen, please step aside so you don't get splattered with blood!"

"I, I, I..." Li Wenqing was in a bit of a predicament. His eyes involuntarily turned to Wang Hansheng, the one who had been talking about Princess Zhan to him lately.

Wang Hansheng had no choice but to step forward, fearing that Li Wenqing would expose him if he continued talking. He said, “Lord Li, since it’s a misunderstanding, you should apologize to Princess Zhan. After all, it’s all for the good of the court! And to prevent the Prince and Princess Zhan from being criticized by the people.”

As soon as Wang Hansheng spoke, Prime Minister Zou and Hu Yucheng also stepped forward to mediate.

Seeing these people trying to smooth things over, Jingxue said, "I think some officials have misunderstood! Li Wenqing, haven't you finished reading the memorial yet? Hurry up and finish it, after all, you don't have much time left!"

Before Li Wenqing could say anything, Prime Minister Zou said, "Princess Consort Zhan, please give this old minister some face and don't make things difficult for Lord Li?"

"Is Prime Minister Zou senile? Did I, the Princess Consort, come to the palace to make things difficult for Li Wenqing on my own initiative? Wasn't it him who wanted to impeach me? How could a prime minister of the country put the cart before the horse! Besides, you have no face in my presence. Don't bother speaking next time."

"Princess Consort Zhan, how can you speak of this old minister like that? This old minister was only doing it for everyone's good!" Prime Minister Zou looked as if he had been wronged.

They started arguing again, one sentence after another.

Just then, a loud announcement came from the entrance of the main hall: "The Emperor Emeritus has arrived!"

Wow! What day is it today? Even this amazing person has been alerted!

The retired emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in with great vigor.

Jingxue: Why didn't that old man go for a drive today? Had he had enough fun?

Everyone knelt down, shouting, "Long live the Emperor Emeritus!"

The emperor also descended the steps, nodded, and said, "Father, what brings you here?"

The old man strode up and sat on the dragon throne. "The court hasn't been this lively in a long time! I've come to see for myself, everyone, rise!"

Jingxue stood up and saw that Eunuch Xi, who was standing next to the Emperor Emeritus, was holding a rectangular box, which she guessed contained calligraphy or paintings.

"Princess Consort Zhan, what brings you to the court?" the Emperor Emeritus asked.

Seeing that the old man was asking a question he already knew the answer to, Jingxue had no choice but to say, "Father, an imperial censor has impeached your daughter-in-law. Your daughter-in-law is innocent! Please, Father, do justice for your daughter-in-law."

When Li Wenqing saw the Emperor Emeritus arrive, his mind went completely blank. Last time this old man came, he chased An Wenguang away like a dog. Would he chase him away again today?

The key issue is that he's not as young and fast as An Wenguang! What if the Emperor Emeritus catches up with him and beats him to death?

Sweat streamed down his forehead.

"Impeach you? Impeach you for what? Tell me!" the retired emperor said sternly.

Jingxue pointed at Li Wenqing and said, "Father, you'll understand once you see his memorial!"

"Bring it here!" the retired emperor said.

Li Wenqing reluctantly handed the memorial to Eunuch Fu. The Emperor Emeritus took it, glanced at it briefly, and then threw it on the ground with a "thud."

The people below were so frightened that they knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

The old man tapped the armrest of the dragon throne twice and then said, "Is life getting better again? Princess Zhan received two foreign envoys, which facilitated border trade in Cangbei and offered Nanzhao a good strategy to withdraw its troops. Yet you all accuse her of colluding with foreign powers?"

"Who will dare to offer advice and suggestions for the country after this? Huh?" The Emperor Emeritus said, slapping the dragon table repeatedly.

Not to mention the ministers below, even the emperor standing beside them was a little scared.

"You've labeled helping and supporting the orphans of fallen soldiers as seeking fame and fortune, and even dragged the War King into it. Don't you want to talk nonsense? Huh? So what if you're an imperial censor? Does that give you the right to make wild guesses and spout nonsense?"

"Smack!" Another one.

No one dared to speak in the main hall.

"Princess Consort Zhan, rise! Today I will give you something!"
