Chapter 427 I’ve been waiting for you to say this!
Jiang Yingcheng was taking a nap as usual.
In a daze, she heard a few words coming from far away in her mind, and the sound became clearer and clearer.
Jiang Yingcheng followed unconsciously and recited——
"Cloud, cloud cake——"
"Hibiscus Pastry——"
"Touhuaci?!"
When she read the last word, she suddenly woke up: "Ah!"
"what?"
What snacks? She was sleeping soundly, why did she suddenly think of snacks?!
The instigator 007 was clearly just a bunch of data, but he inexplicably felt tired: [……]
It kept muttering anxiously in the little one's ear for a long time, but the little one didn't respond to anything else. Only when the name of the snack was mentioned did she finally wake up.
There was no time to dwell on this matter. 007's electronic voice seemed to be tinged with anxiety: [Something big has happened. Wake up!]
Jiang Yingcheng rubbed his eyes and looked around in a daze. Only then did he realize that something was wrong in the imperial study today.
The Crown Prince did not come to the back hall where she was to check as soon as she made a sound, and the eunuch Changshun, who was usually busy around, was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up: [You can escape today! ]
007 was so anxious: [If you don’t run away now, you won’t see the sun tomorrow! ]
[Hmm?] Jiang Yingcheng looked confused, [Brother Tong, what are you talking about?]
[Fang Yiwan struck the drum to file a complaint.] 007 said succinctly, [She wanted to sue Fang Siwan for replacing her child.]
【Um? ! 】
……
One stick of incense time ago.
Jiang Tinghuai finally coaxed the little guy to sleep and returned to the front hall to handle government affairs.
Suddenly——
A series of “dong dong dong” sounds, three at a time, rang out one after another, covering up the eunuchs' already light footsteps.
It was not until Eunuch Changshun came forward with a serious look on his face that Jiang Tinghuai finally came back to his senses.
"Is this... someone beating the Dengwen drum?"
Eunuch Changshun nodded, moved closer, and lowered his voice to a very low level, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him: "It's Fang Yiwan."
Jiang Tinghuai's hand trembled slightly, and the red brush that had just been inked shook for a moment, and some ink dripped onto the newly opened memorial, leaving a very indecent mark.
"what?!"
……
Without the little guy's special arrangements, the bailiffs of Dengwen Drum Court showed no mercy and gave Fang Yiwan twenty heavy blows under the supervision of the common people, beating her so hard that she even staggered when walking.
but……
This was exactly what she wanted.
All the civil and military officials had already returned to Chongyun Palace upon being summoned. Fang Yiwan dragged her slightly inconvenient leg and walked towards the palace step by step, ignoring the various glances cast at her from all around, and walked to the front with a determined look.
She knelt on the ground with a plop, holding up the lawsuit in her hand: "I, Fang Yiwan, have suffered great injustice, and I hope Your Highness can seek justice for me!!"
Every word he spoke was full of tears, every word he spoke was full of blood, and his eyes were helpless yet ruthless, which made the court officials who knew the truth break out in cold sweats.
Not to mention, Prince Jiang Tinghuai, who was just melted by the little guy.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a look to Eunuch Changshun beside him. Then a eunuch stepped forward, took the blood-stained lawsuit from Fang Yiwan's hand, and trotted over to hand it to Eunuch Changshun.
Eunuch Changshun glanced at the eunuch with a sullen look on his face, and almost thought in anger -
Why are you running so fast? Are you in a hurry to be reborn?!
The eunuch was stared at for no reason and retreated feeling aggrieved.
The lawsuit was soon handed to Jiang Tinghuai.
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
He also felt that the speed was a bit too fast.
Jiang Tinghuai slowly unfolded the lawsuit, and asked reluctantly: "Do you have anything else to add?"
Most of the court officials in the palace were unaware of the situation, and he was unable to openly and hastily settle the matter, but he was not completely without a solution.
——Before his father left, he had already anticipated that this scene would happen and had prepared many countermeasures in advance to ensure that the little guy would not be bullied by anyone during his absence from the capital.
Fang Yiwan didn't know the twists and turns involved, so she collected her thoughts and took a deep breath.
"Go back to Your Highness——"
Knowing that the entire palace favored Jiang Yingcheng in every way, she simply repeated the entire "incident" in her prepared speech in front of all the civil and military officials in a sad and loud voice.
"I and Concubine Wan got pregnant at almost the same time, and our birth dates were almost the same." Fang Yiwan's wound on her back was still causing waves of pain, but her heart was filled with joy. "It was just that I was unconscious for a whole day due to a difficult delivery. The midwife in charge of the delivery said that she was afraid that the disease would spread randomly, so she stopped my husband's family from visiting me. When I woke up, Jinshu was already sleeping soundly beside me, and we didn't think much of it at the time..."
Having said this, Fang Yiwan sobbed softly, and then kowtowed heavily to the ground.
The dull sound of the skull hitting the ground gave the surrounding court officials a headache.
"Unexpectedly, some time ago, the midwife was blocked at her door by debt collectors because her youngest son owed a huge gambling debt. They threatened to remove all his organs if he didn't pay back. With nowhere else to go, she found our Lin Mansion..."
"She found our Lin Mansion and said that she had a shocking secret and wanted to exchange it for a large amount of money to save her young son who was in gambling debt."
"I felt sorry for her orphan and widow, and just wanted to help her. I didn't intend to find out any important information. Who knew——"
Fang Yiwan's voice suddenly rose, and she kowtowed heavily, "Who would have thought that the midwife said that the child born to me was a girl, and Jinshu was sent from the palace!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire court fell into deathly silence.
After a while, everyone took a deep breath as if they had finally regained their breath.
"this?!"
"Is this what I thought it meant?!"
"That's impossible... How could someone be so brave?!"
"But..." A minister suddenly remembered something, "I heard that Concubine Wan has been in seclusion in Xingshuang Palace for more than half a year. This..."
It’s hard not to think too much!
Everyone was filled with shock and doubt, and the court suddenly became a mess.
Eunuch Changshun pinched his shrill voice and shouted: "Silence——"
The ministers then fell silent for a short while.
On the golden platform, Jiang Tinghuai's expression was no longer as flustered as before, and one could even vaguely see some of Jiang Yanchuan's calmness and laziness.
"Fang Yiwan," he said quietly, "how can you prove that what the midwife said is the truth?"
Fang Yiwan hurriedly said, "The midwife has a letter written by Concubine Wan to her. Your Highness can compare the handwriting yourself!"
Jiang Tinghuai suddenly laughed.
Just waiting for your words!
