无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

“It hurts.”

“Let the doctor prescribe you some pain relief medicine.”

“I can’t take too much of that.”

“Once you’re well, you can have whatever you want. Just be sure to take good care of yourself and don’t move your leg around too much.” Jiang Ruobai would always issue countless reminders and instructions whenever he visited.

He was afraid his daughter couldn’t stay still and her leg wouldn’t heal properly.

Jiang Ning could only agree with him.

Jiang Ning thought of something and asked, “Uncle, when can Prince of Yu be released from the Court of Judicial Review?”

“He’ll be released once the Crown Prince is deposed. Don’t worry, Prince of Yu won’t suffer in the Court of Judicial Review, I’ve arranged for an Imperial Physician to take care of him.”

“Imperial Physician?” Jiang Ning was astonished, “Why an Imperial Physician?”

The two brothers exchanged glances.

Jiang Ruobai smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious. Prince of Yu was injured on the way back.”

“Where was he injured? How did it happen?” Jiang Ning pursued.

“It seems his arm was injured, but it’s not too serious, just a superficial wound.” Jiang Mubai explained, “Prince of Yu was ambushed on the way back. Fortunately, his personal soldiers fought to protect him, but the losses were quite heavy.”

Jiang Ning remembered seeing Li Hongyuan in the secret room of the East Palace.

He had seemed somewhat weary at the time, but she hadn’t thought much about it then.

Now, it must have been due to the continuous travel, fighting, and injury.

Jiang Ning fell silent.

“Seventh Miss, don’t worry. Your uncle will find the best doctor and use the best medicine for him.” Jiang Mubai comforted her, “With so many adults in the family, how could we let you both suffer for no reason? Just wait to become the Princess Consort.”

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “If I can’t become the Princess Consort, I’ll ask Uncle for it.”

Seeing her pretty, soft little face, Jiang Mubai felt the paternal instinct to give her whatever she wanted.

After the two brothers left, they began to focus solely on the matter of deposing the Crown Prince.

They used their respective networks to expose all the dirty deeds the Crown Prince had done, making everyone, high and low, aware of what kind of shameless person Li Jixian was.

He would dare to covet his sister-in-law when his younger brother was not home.

In the end, he got beaten by the furious Prince of Yu.

Neither the common folk nor the nobility could resist gossip about the inner palace affairs, so the news spread quickly. If you could tolerate someone coveting your wife, were you still a man?

People eagerly discussed this, but no one cared about the details of the Crown Prince’s injury or how serious it was.

Everyone praised Prince of Yu’s passion.

He dared to confront the Crown Prince for his own woman.

Even if it meant being sent to the Court of Judicial Review, it was worth it.

Wait, what?! The Prince of Yu was sent to the Court of Judicial Review?

The common people were all crying injustice for the Prince of Yu.

How could he not be allowed to vent his anger when his own wife was bullied? And after venting, he would be locked up?

Everyone criticized the Crown Prince and supported the Prince of Yu.

Soon, the Imperial Censors also filed numerous petitions, detailing the Crown Prince’s various past misdeeds.

When public opinion reached its peak, Jiang Ruobai instructed several of his students who were Imperial Censor-in-chiefs to propose deposing the Crown Prince at the Grand Court Assembly.

The Emperor’s initial expression was one of astonishment, then anger, followed by sadness and loss.

“I had high hopes for the Crown Prince and wanted to give him another chance. Besides, he injured his leg and can no longer stand up. How can I bear to discard him? Must you all force me to depose the Crown Prince?”

At this moment, the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice stepped forward and presented evidence of the Crown Prince’s cronyism, corruption, and embezzlement of disaster relief funds..
