Su Wan's analysis was not only correct, but also exalted the status of the Queen Mother.

Peony and peony are all metaphors for the empress dowager.

She is the most noble woman, and she also protects the great Zhou Dynasty from illness and disaster, and brings peace to the prosperous age.

The official did not expect that Su Wan was so eloquent, especially that the regent had become Su Wan's biggest supporter. Cold sweat broke out on his back and he retreated.

But now that people have been offended, if you give up halfway, you will only offend people in your own party.

It's really a dilemma.

But even if this is the case, he still has to face the difficulties. Maybe if he hits Su Wan, he can be rescued by the party and gain a glimmer of hope.

"If you hadn't been exposed in public, you wouldn't have pointed out peony, but you are so eloquent here." He saluted the Empress Dowager and said angrily: "The Empress Dowager, Mrs. Gu is sophistry and contempt for the emperor's authority. If no punishment is imposed, I'm afraid..."

"Is it difficult for the Ai family to establish royal prestige?" The Queen Mother exuded the majesty of a superior, "Tell me, how should the Ai family punish those who despise the imperial prestige?"

He immediately knelt down in excitement and sincerely suggested: "The Queen Mother, for cursing you for such a disrespectful charge, you should kill chickens to scare monkeys, exile to Lingnan to do hard labor, or behead them to intimidate and warn the world that the royal majesty is inviolable!"

"Killing chickens to scare monkeys?" The Empress Dowager carefully studied these words with unknown meaning, and then said in a deep voice: "Today is not the day for the Ai family to see blood, so they were exiled to Lingnan."

The Yousi Cheng of Dali Temple looked overjoyed, it actually happened?

"Come here." The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "Drag Yousi Cheng down, pull out his tongue, and exile him to Lingnan."

The expression on the face of the Yousi Cheng of Dali Temple changed dramatically, his liver trembled, and he begged for mercy: "Queen Mother, my minister... uh uh..."

The guards covered the man's mouth and dragged him down.

The family members were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground and were dragged down together.

Cries filled the hall.

The people in the hall were as silent as a cicada.

"Whether it's right or wrong, it's all because of your mouth that you've created a mess here. The Gu family's kindness to the Ai family is not to mention sending a peony screen. Even if it means the life of the Ai family, the Ai family will never do it. Second words!" The Empress Dowager glanced at the crowd with a cold look, and the cold light in her eyes was breathtaking: "The Prime Minister of Yousi of Dali Temple today is the result of causing trouble. I hope you all will take this as a warning for the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Don't act like a talkative woman. If anyone in the Ai family starts to stir up trouble, they will all be dismissed from their posts, their homes will be confiscated, and they will not be allowed to take part in the imperial examination or serve as officials for three generations!"

The hall was silent.

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Su Wan, and her expression softened: "The Ai family knows what kind of character you have. The Ai family are not people who don't know right from wrong and let these monsters fool you."

Su Wan was really shocked. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother was devoted to them and never doubted them.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Queen Mother for her trust."

"Pingshen." The Empress Dowager asked Su Wan to take a seat, without asking whose hand the screen was made, and left it to Su Wan to handle it by herself. This also fulfilled Su Wan's excuse for getting out.

Gu Huaizhi sat down with Su Wan and glanced at Mo Li who was standing behind him.

Mo Li quietly retreated from the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense, and the people offering gifts behind became cautious.

Everyone looked at Su Wan with a kind of fear in their eyes, and they no longer dared to look down on her.

Even though she didn't have the Su family to rely on, behind her were the empress dowager, the emperor, and even the regent.

But after the gift presentation, the regent dropped another bombshell: "I will take this opportunity today to inform you that Su Wan is my daughter."

"biological."
