Therefore, she suspected that Xiao Yan really gave the system to Zhao Yunqi on her own initiative back then.

At this moment, Zhao Yunqi asked, "Will you ensure fairness in the plan? We must select the most outstanding and satisfactory person."

"Don't worry, I've set the highest level of criteria. Even I can't interfere with or modify the selection results. This will ensure fairness and impartiality, and I don't want to end up selecting a mediocre person."

"That's good. Let's start on another day."

Yes, the plan to establish a crown prince is the most important thing right now.

Is it finally about to begin?

Xiao Zhixing's spirits lifted, and he eagerly anticipated the start of the grand event.

Nothing happened that night, and since it wasn't the main court session the next day, they didn't attend.

After breakfast, Xiao Zhixing was pulled aside by Xiao Yuanshan to discuss the arrangements for his coming-of-age ceremony with Bihe.

Xuemei came in to report, "Master, it's been said outside that Lord Feng personally escorted the Fifth Young Master Feng to the Dali Temple."

Was he frightened by the outcome of the First Prince and Zhang Dun's case?

"Understood. Pass on a message and tell Lord Zhang Rengui to make a proper judgment. I will keep an eye on it."

Zhang Rengui's expression must have been quite interesting.

At noon, the Dali Temple delivered its verdict: the man was to be imprisoned for five days, apologize to the Lin family, and pay compensation of ten thousand taels of silver and two shops.

The other party delivered the items to the Prince's residence.

Xiao Zhixing had it delivered to the Lin residence.

In the afternoon, Li Wenxiu and Lin Rushu arrived together.

"I should not visit while I am observing mourning, but since I have been asked to return this matter, I must come in person to thank you." Lin Rushu bowed and was about to kneel down.

Xiao Zhixing grabbed her arm. "What are you doing? Are you being so formal because you don't consider me a friend?"

Lin Rushu's eyes reddened.
