"Why did Chen Mo do this?"
After the anger subsided, the Empress calmed down, sensing something amiss.
While the gold medal may save one from execution, if the situation is severe, punishment is still possible.
She knew that Chen Mo and Jian Yinsan had a longstanding grudge, but Jian Yinsan had already been removed from his position as Deputy Thousand Households, posing no threat to Chen Mo. Why would he execute him publicly, giving rise to gossip?
Sun Senior Palace Lady responded, "According to what I know, after Chen Mo acquired the inheritance from the Secret Realm, he was surrounded by Jian Yinsan and the Hundred Household Officers of the Donghua Region branch. This led to the conflict..."
The Empress, upon hearing this, understood.
Stealing someone's opportunity is like killing their parents; new resentment added to old grudges, fighting to the death is not surprising.
