Hua Yeyu was secretly delighted, but showed no sign of it on her face, maintaining her usual gentle and pleasant demeanor.
Hua Yeshuang nodded knowingly: "It seems Your Highness already has a plan in mind."
Lu Qingyan explained, "The Fourth Princess has always been cautious and suspicious. Even if it's a seal bestowed upon her by the Empress, she won't wear it properly on her person. Instead, she'll definitely have someone carve several identical ones. The clue to the real seal lies in this fake one."
The jade seal circled in front of Lu Qingyan once before she took it away.
Hua Yeshuang flattered her from the side: "Your Highness is indeed intelligent, figuring it out so quickly. If I were here alone, I probably wouldn't have been able to guess it even after thinking for a long time."
Hua Yeyu couldn't bear to look at him; why was his older brother confused again?
That is Her Highness the Crown Princess, their chosen master, whom they absolutely cannot even dream of.
Lu Qingyan twitched her lips and said, "I will handle the seal matter myself. You guys just need to find a way to ruin Lao San's reputation outside."
Having said that, Hua Yeshuang suddenly came to her senses: "Killing three birds with one stone, Your Highness, what a brilliant plan!"
The fourth princess had an accident, the third princess was punished, but the imperial offspring of the other concubines were unharmed. They should be suspected, but they don't need to worry about whether they will find anything.
They'd already dug the pit; were they worried the prey wouldn't take the bait? The two brothers had already envisioned a bright future.
The next day, Lu Qingyan got up exceptionally early because the atmosphere outside the palace was filled with sadness.
The servants spoke in hushed tones, afraid of offending the important person.
No one expected that someone would suddenly barge in halfway through the morning court session.
"Your Majesty, please do justice for Yan'er! Please do justice for Yan'er!" Yu Junshi shouted loudly outside the palace, but soon his voice became hoarse.
The courtiers looked at each other, unsure of His Majesty's meaning.
“Your Majesty, Lady Yu is usually an easygoing person who would never get into any serious trouble. Since she has taken such action, it must be something important. Your Majesty should summon her for a meeting.” A kind-hearted minister advised, showing that there are still people in this world who insist on the so-called ancestral rules.
"Your Majesty, you must not!" the conservative minister advised. "Your Majesty's actions are extremely disrespectful to the Council Hall and to our ancestors! Yu Jun is not the Phoenix Queen, but merely a concubine in Your Majesty's harem. You must not be so indulgent."
...
Putting everything else aside, the ministers were arguing endlessly about whether or not anyone should come to the main hall.
Ren Junhe had been feeling uneasy since last night, and now, listening to them arguing over such a trivial matter, he felt a little annoyed.
She shouted, "Shut up, all of you! Summon Yu Jun to the palace!"
Upon seeing Ren Junhe, Yu Junshi burst into tears before she could even utter a single word: "Your Majesty, you must seek justice for my Prince! He has been... he has been..."
As Yu Junshi spoke, she swayed as if she was about to faint. She pointed to the person next to Yu Junshi and said, "Speak! What happened this time?" Ren Junhe narrowed his eyes and sat on the top, his imposing aura making the people below wish they could bang their heads on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess is gone!!!" The official's words were like a thunderbolt to the crowd at the morning court.
He knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, but his anger could not be extinguished.
She laughed in anger: "I never knew that Fourth Brother had made such a great enemy that someone wanted her dead!"
"You can handle this yourselves. If I can't find a way to resolve this matter, I will exterminate your entire family!"
