The Emperor was very pleased with Lin Family's cleverness from the seating below, while Feng Yao looked at her own mother admitting her crime in public, feeling distressed and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
When her eyes unintentionally landed on Feng Qing, a wave of hatred surged forward.
Feng Qing, it's all because of this vile woman. If she admitted to the crime, her mother would not suffer such punishment. Feng Qing, I will remember this account and I will not let it go.
In the hall, the Emperor briskly began speaking: "Lin Family, with evil intentions, ought to face severe punishment according to their crime. Considering she is the Empress's mother, a lenient punishment is administered. She is to be sent to Huayun Temple to reflect behind closed doors, and shall not take a step outside without my decree."
Below, Lin Family was crying, about to respond, but unexpectedly, Rong Ling who had been silent from one side of the hall suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty."
