The sky was slightly bright, and the gleam of dawn broke through the layers of night and shone on the towering glazed tiles of the Forbidden City.The long palace road was solemn and deep. All the civil and military officials, dressed in court uniforms, stepped across the Jinshui Bridge one by one, with a bit of unspeakable solemnity in their steps.

There was an undercurrent in the court last night. Everyone knew that the prince, who was banned from the East Palace, did not keep his peace. Instead, he secretly contacted a group of trusted court officials and planned to launch an attack in the court today, targeting Prime Minister Shen Jingshan.

In the Jinluan Hall, the scent of ambergris lingered, and the solemn atmosphere made people breathless.Emperor Jing was sitting on the dragon chair with a calm look on his face, eyes hidden with scrutiny, quietly waiting for the officials to start playing.

Hundreds of officials lined up in two groups, but no one took the lead to make a sound. There was only a slight sound of clothing rubbing together in the hall.

After a moment of silence, several censors from the prince's faction took the lead in stepping out of the queue, holding memorials in their hands and speaking out loud.

"Your Majesty! Prime Minister Shen Jingshan has been lax in running the family. He has not thoroughly investigated the malpractice in the harem for more than ten years. He has allowed his legitimate daughter to investigate old cases secretly, cooperate with the government, go beyond the duties of the boudoir, and interfere in foreign affairs! In addition, the Prime Minister has been in a high position for many years, and his disciples and former officials are all over the government and the public. He is suspected of being powerful and trying to cover up his master and forming cliques for personal gain. I sincerely request your Majesty to thoroughly investigate and hold him accountable, so as to set the right direction for the government!"

After one person finished speaking, five or six officials who had colluded in advance came out to echo one after another. They piled up accusations every sentence, and deliberately made every word heart-breaking, twisting an ordinary old case in the back house into the cause of chaos in the court.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant.

Xiao Jingyu, who was standing in the queue of princes, tightened his fingers hanging by his side slightly, and his eyes contained the sinister lust and pride that had been suppressed for many days.

Now that he had no chess to play at home, he turned to the court.As long as Shen Jingshan is overthrown with excessive power, without the support of the Prime Minister's Office and the reliance of the court's power, Shen Qingyuan, no matter how thoughtful her thoughts are and how sharp her methods are, is nothing more than a helpless boudoir woman, at his mercy.

Shen Jingshan looked magnanimous, stepped forward steadily, bowed and kowtowed, and every word was sonorous and powerful.

"Your Majesty is aware of this. The old case in your palace is an unjust case that has been unjust for more than ten years. Recently, all witnesses and material evidence have been collected, and it has been handed over to the government for handling in accordance with the law. The whole process has followed the rules and has never used power privately to disturb the situation of the court. XiaoThe daughter has vindicated her late mother and adhered to her true intentions. She has never interfered in the court.I have been an official for more than 30 years and have devoted myself to serving the public. I have never formed a party for personal gain or bent the law for personal gain.Your Majesty, please be aware of this."

Everything he said was truthful, clear-cut, and frank, but the prince's gang had already colluded with each other and spoke out to refute and confuse right and wrong. In an instant, arguments broke out in the court, and every sentence was deliberately smearing the Shen family.

Emperor Jing frowned slightly and his expression gradually darkened.

Just when the commotion was at its peak, a cold and deep voice suddenly sounded, instantly overpowering the noise in the hall.

"My lords' confusing remarks are too far-fetched."

Xiao Yuci walked slowly out of the clan queue. His black embroidered gold dragon court uniform made him tall and elegant, his brows and eyes were covered with a layer of frost, and his whole body was intimidating.He stood in the middle of the hall and glanced at the clamoring officials. With just one glance, everyone who had been chattering incessantly fell silent and lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

Immediately afterwards, two secret guards in black bowed into the palace, holding a thick stack of neatly bound files, and laid them out beside the royal case in front of the palace.

"I have evidence to present." Xiao Yuci's voice was cold and cold, resounding throughout the entire Jinluan Palace. "This is all the records of the Eastern Palace's secret affairs with courtiers, secretly accepting local bribes, and private accumulation of dead men in the past six months. There is also ironclad evidence of the prince's personal letters delivering secret letters several times, manipulating officials, and deliberately framing important ministers during the period of confinement."
