After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Song Jinglan had already planned to expose everything the next day, so she hurriedly entered the palace again.

This matter involves a prince. If Song Yunming is to fall from power, the emperor must personally handle the case. Although the old emperor is currently bedridden, Song Jinglan has no choice but to come and trouble him.

Everyone in the palace knew that Song Jinglan had returned, so his journey was unimpeded, and he arrived at the emperor's bedchamber, where Consort Chun was attending to his ailing body.

Consort Chun, being the mother of Song Yunming and Song Jinwan, naturally sided with her son. Seeing Song Jinglan's sudden visit, she looked displeased.

Consort Chun was well-informed; the Zhou family had already sent word of the farce that had occurred at the Princess's residence today. Although she didn't know the reason behind it, she knew that her son must have suffered another loss at Song Jinglan's hands.

Although Consort Chun disliked him, she couldn't show it in front of the Emperor, so she smiled slightly and asked, "Your Highness Prince Jing, have you come to visit His Majesty?"

Song Jinglan nodded. "Your Majesty, I have some matters to discuss privately with you."

Upon hearing this, Consort Chun's expression became somewhat unnatural, while the Emperor waved his hand at her, signaling her to step back.

Although Consort Chun was very unwilling, she had no choice but to comply. She gave a slight bow to the two of them and then left the bedchamber with a group of palace servants.

The emperor's complexion was noticeably worse than when they last met. He coughed a few times before finally speaking, "What...is there for you?"

"Your Majesty, I have uncovered some more evidence of the Second Prince's crimes."

Song Jinglan spoke frankly, "This matter is of great importance, and perhaps Your Majesty will need to personally handle it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the emperor gave a wry smile. Although he had long known that Song Yunming was an incompetent man, seeing Song Jinglan's actions, he knew that Song must have obtained some serious evidence of crimes.

"I understand what you mean."

The emperor nodded. "Tomorrow... I will summon all the civil and military officials to publicly try this matter. You will then report the truth."

Seeing that the emperor so easily agreed to his request, Song Jinglan's expression changed slightly, but he still said nothing, only saying calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

After Song Jinglan reported the matter to the emperor, he immediately sent a letter to Jixiang.

Although Song Yunming's plan failed today, he would never give up. Therefore, every move of the Prince Jing's mansion would be closely watched. In order to avoid exposing Jiang Yuyue's location, this method was the safest.

Soon, Jixiang received the message and immediately went to the courtyard where Jiang Yuyue was to deliver it to her.

As soon as Ji Xiang pushed open the door and entered, he saw Xiao Liu reporting something to Jiang Yuyue. Upon seeing him, she subconsciously stopped talking.

When Jiang Yuyue looked up and saw that it was Jixiang, she gestured for Xiaoliu to continue. Xiaoliu nodded and then continued.

"It is said that Princess Huajin is holding a full moon banquet for the young prince today, but Prince Jing captured a villain with malicious intentions outside the mansion, so the banquet ended in discord."

A full moon celebration?

Xie Yunqi's "son" has also been born?

Jiang Yuyue estimated the time and remembered that it was indeed around this day. However, she was surprised that Song Jinglan would actually attend Xie Yunqi's son's full moon banquet, which was not like him at all.

Given the presence of so-called "bad guys," things are probably not as simple as they seem on the surface.

Upon seeing Jixiang there, Jiang Yuyue immediately asked him, "What's the situation with your master today?"

"This servant doesn't know."

Jixiang shrugged. "This servant has been in your courtyard these past few days, how would I know what's going on outside?"

After saying this, Jixiang immediately got down to business, "However, His Highness just sent a message saying that His Majesty will begin to hear the case of Prince Ning tomorrow, and asked you to prepare yourself. His Highness will send a carriage to pick you up and take you to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Tomorrow? So soon?

Jiang Yuyue was somewhat surprised; it seemed that Song Jinglan's previous promise was indeed true.

"understood."

Jiang Yuyue nodded. "I will be prepared."

She was initially curious about what had happened at the full moon banquet, but now it seemed that none of that mattered anymore. As long as Song Jinglan presented the evidence of Ning Wang's crimes one by one tomorrow, and she stepped forward to identify him, Song Yunming would probably never have a chance to recover.

Of course, Jiang Yuyue's target was not just Song Yunming. Today's full moon banquet reminded her how Song Jinwan would react if she knew that her child's bloodline was unknown.

Jiang Yuyue slept soundly through the night without any dreams, perhaps thinking that she would soon be able to seek justice for her family. Just as dawn was breaking, a lucky knock came at the door.

"Miss Jiang, it's time to prepare to depart."

Jiang Yuyue also got up early and washed up, waiting for Jixiang to knock on the door. Xiao Liu looked at her with unease. Although she should have a sure victory today, she felt a little scared when she thought that her young lady was going to the court to identify the dignified Prince Ning.

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Yuyue smiled and reassured them, "You should stay home and wait for news. Don't tell your parents and Ahuan about this before I come back, so as not to worry them."

Xiaoliu nodded emphatically, "Miss, you must come back soon."

After giving a brief explanation, Jiang Yuyue and Jixiang boarded the carriage together. As dusk fell, Jixiang cracked his whip, and the carriage headed towards the main gate of the palace.

The guards at the palace gates saw an unfamiliar carriage approaching and were about to stop it, but instead threw out the driver, Jixiang.

After all, Jixiang had accompanied Song Jinglan to the palace many times, so the guards did not dare to stop her, and the carriage entered the palace without any hindrance.

This was Jiang Yuyue's first time entering the imperial city in her two lifetimes. Looking at the solemn and majestic palace, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Soon, the carriage stopped, and Jixiang led her to a side hall.

“Miss Jiang, let’s wait here for a while. Someone will come to inform you when we need you to go out and make your testimony.”

Jiang Yuyue nodded. Hearing that there was no movement outside, she knew it was still early, so she simply sat down and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while, the ministers who came to attend the morning court session arrived at the main hall one after another. They thought that today, as usual, Eunuch Liu would come out to announce the end of the court session. However, unexpectedly, Prince Jing, Song Jinglan, actually attended today's court session.

Just as everyone was wondering why Song Jinglan had suddenly appeared here, Eunuch Liu helped the pale-faced emperor out.

Standing below, Prince Ning, Song Yunming, was startled by this scene and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
