"Ah? Hmm, yes, Madam brought him to find ."
"Awake?"
"Hmm, he’s awake. Our biggest concern was that the awakened person might be Yu Jizi, fortunately, it’s not. However, he doesn’t rember us either; he’s lost his mory!"
"Oh, amnesia?" Jin Zijin reflected for a mont and then said, "That’s quite good!" Otherwise, he would have to divert his attention to dealing with Jin Ziyuan.
Gu Youyou got up, dressed, and said, "Are you going to take a nap, or go out for sothing to eat?"
Jin Zijin imdiately got up as well, sat on the edge of the bed, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "I’m not tired, and I ate sothing on the way. Tell , what’s the current situation?"
Gu Youyou turned around and said, "Gu Wu is now in my hands, locked up in the stone chamber. Hmph, after not seeing him for years, he’s reached new levels of shalessness, even claiming I am his daughter."
Jin Zijin laughed, "So you summoned the headman and the County Magistrate of Qingshui Town?"
"Yes, after all, he is a condemned criminal from the dungeon of Qingshui Town. Having been on the run for so long, it’s ti for him to be brought to justice!"
...
Now that Jin Zijin has returned, and the witness is here, there’s no need to delay this matter any longer.
After resting for a night, Jin Zijin entered the palace the next day and went up to Taihe Hall.
This was the first ti he proactively went to Taihe Hall.
The sudden appearance of Prince Ning in his imposing manner on Taihe Hall surprised a group of ministers greatly.
He began by saying, "Gu Wu is soone I have observed in Lotus Village for six years, more clearly than any of you present. I cannot understand how all of you were deceived by a condemned criminal like him who is full of lies?"
His words slapped everyone’s faces in the hall.
Just a condemned criminal?
Pri Minister Zhang was sowhat disconcerted.
Wasn’t he already sentenced, served his ti, and released?
But soone of Jin Zijin’s status and position obviously wouldn’t speak recklessly.
This indicates that Gu Wu still hasn’t told the truth.
However, Pri Minister Zhang soon thought, whether he is a condemned criminal seems unimportant, the key is that Gu Wu claims Gu Youyou is his and his sister-in-law’s daughter, that Prince Ning’s consort, Gu Youyou, is illegitimate and should be executed.
Pri Minister Zhang stood forward and said slowly, "Prince Ning, I understand your desire to defend your wife, but you should also consider whether that woman deserves your protection! She is supposedly the daughter of your brother-in-law and sister-in-law, an illegitimate child! An illegitimate royal consort disgraces the Imperial Family, doesn’t it?"
Jin Zijin was blunt from the start, and naturally, Pri Minister Zhang wouldn’t hold back either.
The first round raised the tension on the scene to its highest point.
Jin Zijin let out a cold laugh, his eyes dark as ink swept over Pri Minister Zhang, and said calmly, "I wonder what the penalty is for slandering the Imperial Family? Pri Minister Zhang, kindly enlighten this prince!"
Pri Minister Zhang’s heart skipped a beat, and with slightly diminished montum, he said, "This isn’t sothing I said, it was Gu Wu who said that Prince Ning’s consort, Gu Youyou, is his daughter. Not just , everyone knows about it, don’t they?"
Being dragged down by Pri Minister Zhang, the crowd in the court could only cast resentful glances at him, but had to nod in agreent.
"Yes, Prince Ning, this matter has spread wildly outside, everyone in Beijing knows about it. They say your consort is illegitimate, everyone is watching to see how the Emperor will deal with the consort."
"Who told you that my consort is illegitimate? Just because soone says it, you believe it? Where’s your brain?"
