After a moment's distraction, Song Zan immediately understood what was going on. It was common knowledge among the court officials that the emperor couldn't forget the late empress. So, someone was taking advantage of this, intending to step on his sister to rise to the top.
Song Zan immediately lost his good impression of the person in front of him. He looked at Jiang Ziyan with disgust, then turned to look at Emperor Xuande.
