After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

The next morning, Eunuch De announced that the case of the deposed crown prince embezzling national taxes would be re-examined.

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent.

Why did the old matter suddenly come up again at this critical juncture?

Regardless of whether they were officials who had already chosen sides or neutrals who were loyal to the emperor, no one could guess the emperor's thoughts and no one dared to speak rashly.

Countless officials died in the witchcraft and corruption cases back then. The emperor also labeled Empress Ji and the deposed crown prince as regicides, and no one dared to speak up for them anymore.

Now, nearly twenty years have passed, and His Majesty suddenly brought it up. Why?

Why?

Could it be that, seeing that the crown prince was dying, he tried to clear the deposed crown prince's name and reinstate him?

All officials are shrewd people. Even the stubborn old guys on weekdays try to reduce their presence as much as possible at this time.

"The Holy One is wise!"

In the silent hall, Ji Yan suddenly knelt down, bowed his head, and shouted loudly.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne had a blank expression on his face, and his cold eyes swept over the officials below without any emotional fluctuations.

"The Holy One is wise!"

Among the officials, not only some agreed with Ji Yan, but some also knelt down.

Soon after, more and more officials began to kneel down...

Except for the prince's party, everyone knelt down.

Several standing officials lowered their heads, but twisted them slightly, trying to look at the rest of their colleagues.

But their colleagues around them had already knelt down, and they themselves stood abruptly, looking like people who were singing a different tune from the emperor.

The older officials knew the cause of the case of deposing the crown prince, but if they knelt...

"Where is Dali Temple Minister Xiao Hengshan?"

Xiao Hengshan was a loyalist and had already knelt among the officials. When he was suddenly called, he immediately responded, "I am here."

The emperor's eyes fell on Xiao Hengshan: "I order you to fully cooperate with Master Ji in investigating this case. Make sure to catch the real mastermind behind this and clear the name of the deposed crown prince."

This was to announce to all officials that the crown prince was unjustly deposed.

"The minister obeys the order."

"Retreat from the court."

"Retire~~"

……

Because the news was so shocking, it spread like wildfire after the court was dismissed.

When the news reached the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Hengshan had already sent someone to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The Crown Princess was furious when she heard this, and angrily drove the people from the Dali Temple out: "You are a bunch of daring dogs and slaves. If you disturb His Highness and affect His Highness's rest, I will kill all your clans!"

Although she was trying to drive him away, she still hurried to see the prince.

At this time, Jiang Hao was giving acupuncture to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince's time is running out. His cheekbones are prominent, his eye sockets are sunken, his face is bluish-gray, and his eyes are beginning to dim.

I'm afraid it won't last a few days.

Jiang Hao sentenced the Crown Prince to death in her heart, but she had been in the Crown Prince's Mansion and had not returned. She didn't know whether Ji Yan had succeeded in entering the palace to meet the Emperor.

If I fail, I'm afraid I won't have a chance anymore.

"Jiahe, please go out for a while. I have something to say to His Highness."

After giving the last injection, Jiang Hao stood up, bowed politely to the Crown Princess, and turned to leave.

Immediately afterwards, all the maids serving in the room retreated.

Jiang Hao stood under the eaves, pricked up his ears, and listened attentively to the conversations inside.

"Your Highness."

The Crown Princess was very emotional. She knelt down in front of the bed and took her husband's thin and cold hand. She was trembling with fear and said, "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Ji Yan found evidence of the embezzlement case. Father... Father ordered the Dali Temple to fully cooperate with Ji Yan to thoroughly investigate the case again..."

The prince was shocked when he heard this. He stared at his wife blankly and murmured, "How is it possible?"
