Jiang Qingqing rode out of the palace without stopping, and drove the carriage directly to the gate of the imperial city. She found the post station near the imperial city, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door of the second floor.

Han Qingyi opened the door from inside the house, and the moment she saw Jiang Qingqing, she looked a little dazed and surprised.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Qingqing nodded and said succinctly: "There are some things that require your testimony. If you can get more evidence, I can fulfill one of your wishes in Tianqi."

Straight to the point.

This made Han Qingyi a little confused, but she still invited her into the house obediently.

The two chatted alone in the house until the sun went down. During this time, Gan Lin was called to the palace by Jiang Qingqing to investigate the matter many times. On this day, Jiang Qingqing's brain was almost working non-stop.

It was not until the night fell and Han Qingyi looked a little tired that Jiang Qingqing stopped talking.

"You should get some rest. Tomorrow is a big event. I will personally send someone to take you to the palace. Be prepared by then."

"I see."

Han Qingyi didn't seem to be used to chatting about these political matters with Jiang Qingqing. In short, her expression didn't look natural.

The person involved did not think there was anything strange about this matter. She stood up and was about to open the door when she looked up and saw a slender figure leaning on the handrail of the stairs on the second floor.

Jiang Qingqing paused.

In fact, as soon as Jiang Qingqing walked out of the palace, Xiao Linting hurriedly caught up with her.

He was worried that Jiang Qingqing might do something extreme because of Jiang Chen's incident, so he chased her out to check.

So he waited for Jiang Qingqing at the second-floor station for half a day.

"Uncle." She said softly.

Xiao Linting actually heard the sound of the door opening a long time ago, but he didn't turn around. It was not until he heard Jiang Qingqing speak that he slowly turned around and looked at her.

"Your Highness will be taken back to the Princess's Mansion." He responded in a deep voice, which also explained why he was here.

The night fell for a long time, and the lights on the second floor dimmed the entire space. Looking at Xiao Linting, half of his face was illuminated by candlelight and the other half was in shadow. His handsome face had a bit of depth and some other deep emotions in it.

Jiang Qingqing, who had been brainstorming for the whole day, slowly relaxed her frown the moment she saw Xiao Linting walking by.

Xiao Linting habitually stretched out his hand with his palm facing up, and she placed her small hand on his large palm without hesitation.

Then the two of them walked out of the post station together.

The two of them unexpectedly didn't say much on the way. After Xiao Linting sent Jiang Qingqing to the door of the princess's mansion, he only said one sentence.

"No matter what your Highness does, I will support you."

With Xiao Linting's words to support her, Jiang Qingqing's mouth corners slightly raised and she nodded solemnly.

——

As soon as the sky got light the next day, Jiang Qingqing put on her best clothes and met Han Qingyi at the gate of the imperial city. The two of them walked straight to the front court and blocked Emperor Qing's way at the place where he was supposed to attend the morning court.

Therefore, today's morning court was unprecedentedly delayed by three hours.

Emperor Qing was a little surprised to see Jiang Qingqing at first, but then he saw Jiang Qingqing kneeling on the ground, holding up the memorial in her hands, and telling the story in a sonorous and powerful voice about how the Third Prince Jiang Chen was frightened by an assassin on the way out of the capital, and who was behind the assassin.

Emperor Qing's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Jiang Qingqing came prepared today. In her hands were the truth about her falling into the water five years ago, the absurd truth about the military wedding in the suburbs of Beijing, and the truth about Jiang Chen being frightened by the assassin yesterday.

There were witnesses to all these incidents. Although Han Qingyi did not kneel on the ground, she nodded slightly. Every time Jiang Qingqing talked about something, she confessed how Han Qiming and Concubine Zhao cooperated in the past.

This matter involves old events from the past and the safety of the Third Prince.

Emperor Qing was silent for a long time. Finally, he just took the memorial from Jiang Qingqing's hand, ordered the morning court to be dismissed, and asked Xiao Linting and the Zhao family to stay. He even asked someone to go to the harem and specially summon Concubine Zhao to come to the front court hall.

The Zhao family lost their patience after the eldest prince and the third prince fought back and forth in the court, and the chessboard behind them almost collapsed and was vulnerable.

With Xiao Linting standing by his side, every word he said was hurtful. Emperor Qing had a gloomy face and scolded Concubine Zhao who was crying out for her innocence. He even threw the memorial in his hand at Lord Zhao's head.

For a moment, the court was in chaos.

The fact that Zhao Jiaguang attacked the royal descendants was enough to severely discredit him.

In a short period of time, the Xu and Zhao families in the court became prisoners overnight.

Empress Xu was spared from dethronement because of her gentle and gracious manner. But Concubine Zhao was different. She was the one who plotted everything. Emperor Qing directly deprived Concubine Zhao of her title of Noble Concubine, and the Zhao family was thrown into prison for this.

It was shocking how the Zhao family, who used to be so powerful and majestic in the capital, was now in such a miserable state.

Concubine Zhao lost her power, and the second prince was also affected. He lost his right to serve in the court and became an idle prince in the capital.

The eldest prince was only hindered by the Xu family and restrained his thoughts. The second prince was hindered by his adoptive mother, Concubine Zhao, and even lost the opportunity to exercise power in the court.

Looking around, Jiang Chen was the only one in the royal family.

Some people in the court were whispering and trying to guess the emperor's intentions, saying that Jiang Chen might be the future crown prince.

The capital seemed to have calmed down, but before it could rest for more than two or three days, someone from the border rushed into the capital at full speed, holding an urgent report from the army.

"The new emperor of Li State is personally leading the troops to the battle! Urgent report--"

Such urgent news completely disrupted the situation in the capital that had finally been stabilized.

Han Qiming took advantage of the fact that Han Qingyi had not returned to Li State and feared that Tianqi would detain the princess, so he led his army to go to war.

Emperor Qing urgently summoned people to the palace to discuss countermeasures. During this time, Jiang Chen heard about this and simply followed Xiao Linting into the palace.

When Jiang Qingqing heard the news at the princess's mansion, she was so angry that she burst into laughter.

She sat on the Arhat bench, thinking for a while, then looked up at Yan Luo who was reporting the situation.

"The Li Kingdom has started an uprising. Is the emperor's uncle going to lead his troops to fight again?"

Yan Luo was asked this question a little abruptly, but still nodded, "It's probably like this."

"Pack some money and go and broaden our horizons!" Jiang Qingqing curled her lips and smiled cunningly.

The uprising was too sudden, but fortunately the victorious army had not yet remembered to disperse, and they were mobilized almost overnight.

Just this one appointment surprised everyone in the capital and the palace.

Yan Luo looked at Jiang Qingqing hesitantly, and added kindly: "Your Highness will go with the army this time. Do you really want to follow the army?"

Jiang Qingqing nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, my brother and I have never been apart since we were young. Now that he has joined the army, I will naturally go with him!"
