Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan's words were powerful and resounding, which greatly impressed the officials in the court.

Many people were stunned as they listened!

After she finished speaking, surprise gradually appeared on the faces of the officials.

Their eyes widened slightly, their gazes filled with disbelief.

These ministers, who had spent many years navigating the complexities of officialdom, considered themselves well-informed and knowledgeable.

He never imagined that a woman, especially a newly appointed Crown Princess, could have such profound insights and comprehensive plans.

An elderly minister with white hair stroked his beard and said with a slight tremor, "I have served as an official for decades and experienced countless storms, but I have never seen such a brilliant solution. It is truly amazing that Her Highness the Crown Princess could come up with such a comprehensive solution in such a short time!"

Although his voice was a little hoarse, his admiration was evident in it.

Another minister chimed in, "Indeed, this flood has plagued our dynasty for many days. We officials have racked our brains but have yet to find a good solution. Her Highness the Crown Princess's actions today have truly turned the tide. We are ashamed of our own incompetence!"

He shook his head as he spoke, a look of shame on his face.

The civil officials whispered amongst themselves, their exclamations of praise rising and falling.

"Her Highness the Crown Princess is truly a heroine among women. With such wisdom and strategy, she is a blessing to our dynasty!"

"I never expected that the Crown Princess would have such extraordinary talent; she is truly admirable."

Their words were filled with admiration and respect for Lingyan.

Although the military officers were not good with words, their resolute faces showed admiration.

All the officials' eyes were focused on Lingyan, their eyes filled with amazement, admiration and respect.

At this moment, Lingyan seemed to radiate light in their eyes, like a goddess descended to earth to save the people from suffering.

Emperor Jingzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, listening carefully to Lingyan's suggestion, and an approving expression appeared on his face.

He nodded slightly and said, "The Crown Princess's plan is indeed a good one. I believe that with the Crown Princess's assistance, our dynasty will surely overcome this difficulty and usher in a more prosperous future."

These methods for resolving the resettlement and relief of disaster victims were meticulous and comprehensive, taking into account all aspects, which demonstrates her extraordinary wisdom.

With such assistance from the imperial court, it was indeed like adding wings to a tiger.

In the imperial court, the tense atmosphere had just eased after the important matters were discussed.

But then an untimely "poof" sound rang out.

Although the voice was not loud, it sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet court.

The officials were taken aback at first, then frowned.

Immediately afterwards, another "poof" sound rang out, and this time the sound was even louder than before.

Everyone's eyes began to search around the court, trying to find the source of the sound.

However, before they could find it, a series of "poof" sounds rang out one after another.

The sound was like a flood that had been suppressed for a long time, and once it broke through the dam, it was unstoppable.

An indescribable stench began to permeate the air; the smell was pungent and strong, making one's stomach churn.

Some officials couldn't help but cover their noses, their faces showing disgust.

They tried to suppress their discomfort, but the stench lingered, constantly stimulating their olfactory nerves.

Emperor Jingzhao's expression also turned very ugly. He frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

The atmosphere in the court became extremely awkward and tense.

The officials looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Even before the nauseating stench had completely dissipated, the atmosphere in the court remained tense and awkward.

At this moment, Ling Yan's gaze suddenly locked onto the eldest prince.

A sly glint flashed in her eyes as she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I heard it clearly just now; the strange sound seems to be coming from the First Prince."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the imperial court.

All the officials turned their gazes toward the eldest prince, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The eldest prince was utterly astonished. He stared wide-eyed at Ling Yan in disbelief.

His face instantly turned bright red, a mixture of anger, shame, and embarrassment on his face.

Seeing that everyone's reaction was as she had expected, Lingyan exaggeratedly retreated a great distance towards the First Prince.

She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, as if the stench still lingered around the eldest prince.

Her exaggerated and obvious movements made everyone even more convinced that the voice was coming from the eldest prince.

Following Ling Yan's actions, the people around the First Prince immediately retreated a considerable distance from him.

The officials who had originally stood beside the eldest prince now showed expressions of disgust and quickly moved away from him.

Their movements were swift and decisive, as if the eldest prince carried some terrible plague.

Seeing the reactions of those around him, the eldest prince felt his anger and shame reach their peak.

His body trembled slightly, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

His eyes burned with rage as he stared intently at Ling Yan, wishing he could rush up and tear her apart.

Only then did he remember the sweet fragrance he had smelled outside the main hall, which must have been the poison she had deliberately given him when she greeted him.

She did it on purpose!

It was deliberately done to embarrass him in front of the Emperor and all the officials!

But at this moment, in the imperial court, he could not lose his composure and could only suppress the anger in his heart.

His face turned from red to green, then from green to white, and his embarrassed and awkward expression made him wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just then, Xiao Muyao said very considerately, "Father, perhaps the eldest brother has an upset stomach, which is why he behaved so rudely. Why don't you let him take his leave first?"

Upon hearing this, all the officials wore expressions of agreement.

Emperor Jingzhao was also unwilling to endure such a taste any longer.

Then he looked at the eldest prince in a deep voice and said, "In that case, you may leave now."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince could only bow in humiliation and take his leave.

He couldn't reveal that Lingyan had poisoned him, which was why he acted this way.

Since there was no evidence, he believed that with her superb medical skills, she would not leave any flaws.

That woman is always quick-witted. If he dares to say such a thing, he has no evidence and will instead be accused by her of slandering her, the Crown Princess.

Therefore, he could only keep quiet and admit that he was acting this way because of an upset stomach.

She must have planned everything afterward when she poisoned the victim.

How cunning!

Although he was able to leave at this moment, the anger and shame in his heart did not dissipate.

At that moment, he felt like a clown being ridiculed and despised by everyone.

His dignity and honor were utterly trampled upon at this moment, and his heart was filled with resentment towards Lingyan.

He secretly vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge on Ling Yan and make her pay for what happened today.

With the departure of the eldest prince, the atmosphere in the court finally returned to normal, and the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

However, that embarrassing scene was deeply imprinted in their minds, becoming a memory they could never forget.

Emperor Jingzhao coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back to the main matter.

"The Crown Princess's plan for this flood in the south is excellent and should be implemented immediately. All officials must do their utmost and there must be no mistakes."

Emperor Jingzhao's majestic voice echoed in the court.

Upon hearing this, all the officials responded in unison, "Your Majesty, we obey your decree."

Then, the eunuch shouted, "Court adjourned!"

The ministers knelt down again and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

After Emperor Jingzhao left, everyone got up and left the hall one by one.

Lingyan's first court appearance also came to a successful conclusion.

She then left the main hall with Xiao Muyao.
