This news reached the palace.
Emperor Xuanming, already very displeased with this group of officials who had united to pressure him, became even more angry.
When the Son of Heaven gets angry, it is not something that these noble families can hinder.
Moreover, Chu Heng was waiting by the side to exact revenge.
Thus, when the common folk heard that the discoverer of high-yield rice and high-yield potatoes, as well as the reformer of the weaving machine, Madam, was being unjustly insulted by that group of officials for writing a mere novel.
Gradually, there were people who went to the yamen to appeal for Ye Muyu, requesting the Son of Heaven to stand up for Ye Muyu.
Initially, when only a dozen or so commoners showed up.
The yamen paid no mind.
When the number rose to over a hundred.
The yamen sensed something was amiss and prepared to drive them away.
However, they found that the guards who let these commoners into the city were all trusted by the Emperor.
