Not long after, a young woman dressed in white mourning clothes walked into the court.
The previously somewhat quarrelsome court fell silent. Everyone looked her over and exclaimed what a beautiful and delicate woman she was!
Because of her personality, she lived a secluded life after becoming a princess. Many people in the court were amazed when they first saw this Princess Jin.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she were saddened by something, making one want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.
Her pair of watery eyes seemed to be crying, which made people feel sorry for her.
A woman should look beautiful even in mourning attire!
But if her whole body were pale, it would look too bland. However, her delicate, cherry-like lips added a touch of color, making her come alive.
Princess Jin was already beautiful, and with the added advantage of being a widow, she possessed an even more special charm.
The court was mostly filled with men, and at their level, almost everyone had multiple wives and concubines; they were all seasoned connoisseurs in the world of women. Yet, upon seeing this delicate figure, they couldn't help but feel a surge of protective instincts.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire court, Princess Jin felt flustered and instinctively lowered her head.
He continued walking forward in small steps until he reached the head of the hall, where he paid his respects to the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess.
"Please rise quickly, sister-in-law." Although the prince was simple-minded, he could still distinguish between beauty and ugliness.
He felt that his own sister-in-law looked exceptionally beautiful. He stared at her outfit, thinking that he would let Linglong wear it sometime; it would definitely look good on her too.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Princess Jin bowed her head and walked to the side, where she happened to see the figure of the embroidered messenger.
She was instantly delighted, but when she realized that Xiao Jianren was not the Grand Commander, she felt somewhat disappointed.
She glanced around furtively, but didn't see that familiar figure, and her heart immediately began to pound with anxiety.
"Give Princess Jin a seat." Seeing her appearance, Bi Linglong couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Thank you, Crown Princess." Princess Jin hurriedly bowed.
After she sat down, Meng Yi spoke first, pointing at Zu An and saying, "Has the Princess Consort of Jin been too heartbroken lately? This person is the real murderer who killed the Prince of Jin."
Princess Jin looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zu An standing there.
She was taken aback. Was this the vicious murderer they had been talking about?
He looks quite dignified and has an extraordinary air about him...
After being comforted last night, she realized that the other party was not the culprit. Now, seeing how handsome and dashing he was in person, the last bit of resentment in her heart disappeared.
And for some reason, looking into the other person's eyes, she had a vague sense of familiarity.
It has to be said that looks matter in any world.
She lowered her head and replied, "Yesterday, the Embroidered-Robe Envoy examined my husband's body. He did not die at the hands of Lord Zu, but rather from a sudden surge of anger that overwhelmed his body."
Hearing the aggrieved party say this, many people in the court breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Yi's side, on the other hand, frowned deeply, filled with regret. He had been careless; he hadn't sent someone to examine the Prince of Jin's body immediately and secure the evidence.
But who could have predicted such an outcome? So many people witnessed Zu'an snapping Jin Wang's neck, yet the other party actually managed to distort the truth.
What exactly is going on with the Embroidered-Robe Envoy? Isn't he always fair and impartial?
Could it be that they have secretly sided with the Crown Princess?
No, that's impossible. The Empress still controls the palace. If that were the case, she would definitely react without any reaction.
At this moment, Bi Linglong spoke up again: "The Embroidered-Robe Envoy just gave the results of his investigation. It seems that Prince Jin was instigated by Prince Dai and Princess Dai, which led to his impulsive act and the incident. Is that really the case?"
Upon hearing her words, all eyes in the room turned to Princess Jin.
The Prince of Dai, who was the main character, looked relaxed. He thought to himself that he and the Princess of Jin had a good relationship. Yesterday, she was still thanking him for his help. How could she possibly give testimony that was detrimental to him?
The only thing I need to consider is when I can go to Prince Jin's residence again. Yesterday's good thing was interrupted by that commander, so I need to find a safer time to go. After all, there's only so much Forget-Me-Not Rosemary, and I can use it again. If I waste it again, I'll really be devastated.
Princess Jin's heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized that the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Robe Envoy was fulfilling his promise. How could everything be so similar to her dream...
Originally, she didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to protect herself, but when she thought that the Grand Commander was willing to offend the Prince for her sake, and when she thought of her husband's mysterious death, she gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage to say, "That's right. A few days ago, the Princess Consort and the Prince of Dai came to the mansion one after another and said some things to my husband. Then my husband became very angry and shouted that he wanted to go out and avenge his father."
"I beg Your Majesty the Empress and the Crown Princess to do me justice!"
These words caused an uproar in the room. Everyone had already been quite fond of her because of her charming appearance, but upon hearing these words, they all glared angrily at the Prince of Dai. Some hot-tempered ministers even began to curse.
Besides the faction of the Crown Prince and the faction of the Meng family of Prince Dai, there are also many neutral parties in the court. They do not help either side and only act according to their own preferences.
The Prince of Dai opened his mouth wide, never expecting that the little white rabbit in his eyes would bite him back. Although he dreamed of being bitten by the other party, it was not in this way.
At this moment, Meng Yi secretly gave him a push, finally bringing him back to his senses.
The Prince of Dai was both angry and anxious: "Princess Consort of Jin, I have been so good to you, why did you want to harm me?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the ministers in the room became strange.
