When Jiang Li received the decree from Eunuch Sun, she was still waiting in the teahouse with Jiang Mubai for the crowd downstairs to disperse.
After reading the emperor's oral order for the summons, Jiang Li learned from Eunuch Sun how tough his father was, whom he had not had the chance to meet.
He was the first to enter the palace and confronted Prime Minister Qin. In the hall, he said frankly that Princess Jingling was his long-lost daughter, and he threatened that even if he had to sacrifice all his military merits, he would seek justice for Jiang Li!
Now, Jiang Li didn't even have time to return to the palace, so he hurriedly got on a carriage and headed to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he met Xue Rou who had rushed over.
"Ari, don't blame your father, he..."
Xue Rou's eyes were red, she was afraid that her husband's impulsiveness would bring trouble to Jiang Li. Mainly, she didn't expect Jiang Yao, who was usually steady, to be so reckless this time. He should at least go back to the mansion to discuss it, instead of rushing into the palace by himself.
"Mom, don't worry, I know."
How could she blame her father?
After returning from the battle, he went straight to the palace without a rest, just because he was worried that she would be bullied. At the beginning, she envied Jiang Shengsheng because no matter what happened, she was favored by Jiang Sheng and Zhou.
And now, Jiang Li also has all of these.
Fighting back the sadness in his eyes, Jiang Li patted Xue Rou's back and comforted her, "It's okay, mother. Aren't the brothers all in the palace now? Don't worry, let's go over now."

"General, you said Princess Jingling is your biological daughter. Do you have any evidence?"
In the court, everyone was still immersed in the shock of Jiang Yao's recognition of his relatives.
Jiang Yao glanced at the person who was speaking. He was a stranger. He thought he was someone who had been promoted while he was away from Beijing. He didn't know if he was a friend or foe, so he said politely, "Of course."
After that, he took out the letter written to him by his wife from his bosom and presented it with both hands, "Your Majesty, the evidence is here, you will know it at a glance."
When Jiang Yao said that Jiang Li was the youngest daughter of the general's mansion, the emperor looked at Gu Qingchen who had not spoken a word.
Seeing that he had no reaction, the emperor knew that the guy had already known about it. He couldn't help but curse the brat in his heart for not telling him in advance, leaving him unprepared.
After taking the letter from the eunuch and opening it, the emperor remained silent for a long while.
Everyone below was anxious and itchy.
Qin Chuan was originally worried, thinking that Jiang Yao and the others had found the lost object, but when he saw that what he handed over was actually a letter, he immediately sneered in his heart.
It seems that God is not going to destroy the Qin family. This time, Jiang Yao ran into trouble himself.
In this case, let’s take revenge on the General’s Mansion to avenge Jiang Li!
As previously arranged, Minister of Works Qi Yuan received Qin Chuan's gaze, thought for a moment, and then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Jiang's recognition of his daughter was too sudden. I believe this matter has far-reaching implications and his intentions deserve to be punished."
The emperor was still thinking about how to organize his words so that he could announce the fact that Jiang Li had a birthmark to the public in an official but not vulgar way. Unexpectedly, he would hear such remarks.
I became interested instantly.
"Why do you say that, Lord Qi?"
Seeing the emperor looking at him with a smile, Qi Yuan immediately stood up straighter and said loudly, "Your Majesty, if this recognition of kinship took place before the princess married, it would be a story of a reunion, a pearl lost in the world returned to its own family. Furthermore, the fact that the two people who were betrothed by the late emperor finally became a couple would surely be celebrated by the people."
"But now, Princess Jingling isn't just a daughter-in-law of the royal family. She's also the Supervisor of the Imperial Hospital of Daning. Such honor and favor are not something an ordinary woman can obtain. General Jiang has not acknowledged her relationship with her for a long time, but now, he probably thinks being a godparent in the Jingling Palace isn't as useful as being the Jingling Prince's father-in-law. Or does he have other motives?"
"You old bastard, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll rip your mouth off and stick it on your ass!"
Although he had been fighting outside for many years, Jiang Yao was a well-known gentleman. After hearing what Qi Yuan said, he was so angry that he said out loud what the grumpy cook in the military camp always said.
Qi Yuan was stunned by the scolding. He had never heard Jiang Yao say such harsh words.
“You—you—”
"What do you mean by 'you'? Before Lord Qi tells you that my father has some ulterior motive, why don't you go back and ask what the Qi family's second son's intentions are in privately casting ironware in Nanyu Mountain?"
While they were arguing, they saw four young men with slender eyebrows and clear eyes, wearing armor and full of heroic spirit, walking into the hall.
When they reached the front of the palace, they all knelt and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor."
He is the fourth son of the Jiang family.
"Well done, young men, you are so brave! Let us raise our nation's prestige! Please, four young generals, please stand up!" The emperor couldn't help but sigh, "Jiang Yao, you have raised some fine sons!"
Jiang Yao was still kneeling in front of the hall, and the four brothers naturally had no intention of getting up.
but--
Jiang Qing pulled out a sleeve from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, on my way back to the capital, I encountered a farmer who stopped his horse and complained about his sons being taken away by officials to work and hadn't returned yet. I felt this was suspicious and worried about the loss of life, so I sent someone to investigate."
"Only after checking did we find out that they were supposedly doing work, but in reality they were privately casting equipment, and the person behind this was none other than the second son of the Qi family!"
The reason why the four of them were one step behind Jiang Yao was that before returning to Beijing, they had been secretly sending people to investigate matters concerning the Qi Mansion.
Qi Yuan and Jiang Yao have been enemies for many years.
At the beginning, Qi Yuan was in charge of the Ministry of War, and he could make a lot of money by just running the military equipment department.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao was an absolute stubborn person. After he found out, he wanted to send Qi Yuan to the Dali Temple. If Qin Chuan had not reacted quickly and erased the traces early, Qi Yuan would have died long ago.
