After finishing his conversation with Old Zhang, Lin Feng turned and walked toward his room.
As soon as he entered, his wife, Xia Qingyu, came to greet him. Noticing Lin Feng's pale complexion, she asked with concern, "Husband, what has happened? Why do you look so troubled?"
Lin Feng gently rubbed his cheek, forcing a smile as he reassured her, "It's nothing serious, my dear. There's no need to worry. I just dealt with some trivial matters that took a bit of my energy. Come, let’s have dinner first."
With that, he took Xia Qingyu's hand and led her to the dining table.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the palace gates, illuminating the resplendent court.
Lin Zhen, dressed in a bright yellow Dragon Robe, sat majestically on the dragon throne that symbolized supreme power, casting an authoritative gaze over the ministers below.
He raised his hand slightly to signal for silence and then spoke in a calm voice, " my loyal ministers, I received a case report from the Xingbu yesterday concerning the Fourth Prince."
As he spoke, he picked up a scroll from the table and unfolded it, reading aloud some key details.
As Lin Zhen's words echoed in the hall, the once quiet court erupted into a flurry of whispers and murmurs among the ministers.
Some furrowed their brows in contemplation; others displayed worry on their faces, fearing that this case might stir unrest within the palace.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Wang Yi, the chief eunuch standing beside Lin Zhen, darkened his expression and raised his voice to command attention: "Silence! No noise is permitted in the court!"
His voice rang out like thunder throughout the grand hall.
Upon hearing his reprimand, the chatter gradually subsided until it faded away completely.
Once order was restored in the court, Lin Zhen spoke again with a steady and serious tone: "Since this matter involves a prince and has significant implications, I must appoint an impartial and upright individual to thoroughly investigate this case. We must uncover the truth and provide clarity to the people."
At that moment, Minister Wei stepped forward from the front row. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Your Majesty, I believe there are some peculiarities regarding this matter!"
Intrigued by his words, Lin Zhen looked at him and asked, "Oh? Wei my loyal ministers, what peculiarities do you refer to? Please share your thoughts."
Minister Wei took a deep breath and composed himself before responding: "Your Majesty, as a prince of noble status, Fourth Prince Lin Feng usually conducts himself with propriety. In my opinion, it is unlikely that he would engage in such actions. Therefore, I suspect that someone has deliberately set him up!"
Lin Zhen nodded slightly in acknowledgment of Minister Wei's viewpoint. Meanwhile, the ministers in the court began to murmur among themselves.
Some agreed with Minister Wei's reasoning: "What he says does seem quite reasonable."
However, others held differing opinions; they frowned and pondered: "But the case file clearly mentions witnesses including the victim's wife and several others. Could they all be conspiring to frame the Fourth Prince?"
As everyone expressed their opinions, Zhang Ting stepped forward from behind Minister Wei and bowed deeply before exclaiming: "Your Majesty, I dare to say that this matter indeed has its rationale as Minister Wei suggested!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Crown Prince Lin Zheng also stepped forward and respectfully addressed the emperor: "Father Emperor, I believe that since this incident has occurred, we must act swiftly and dispatch someone to investigate thoroughly to uncover the truth."
Otherwise, if this matter were to carelessly spread, it would undoubtedly cause irreparable damage to the reputation of our royal family!
