Chapter 1917 Stand up and speak
The Crown Prince's words plunged the previously bustling hall into an instant silence.
Those who had been so vocal just moments before suddenly fell silent.
They wanted to say a few more words in rebuttal, but someone remembered what Lu Zhaoling had done in the past two years and dared not speak for a moment.
If Lu Zhaoling has such abilities, how bad can her master be?
One more thing, what is Lu Zhaoling's other identity now?
Princess Consort of Jin.
With Prince Jin's dog-like temper, if anyone offended his queen, wouldn't he make a huge scene?
Some people recalled that when Prince Jin had just received the imperial decree bestowing the marriage upon him, Lu Ming was still a lowly official. He spoke ill of Lu Zhaoling in court, and Prince Jin immediately retorted—
From now on, if anyone criticizes her for being impolite, I will scold you.
At that time, Lu Ming was still considered his future father-in-law, and the Prince of Jin didn't take him seriously, scolding him whenever he wanted.
He might kick an adult in the butt if he doesn't like them.
Some people used to say that Prince Jin had no feelings for Lu Zhaoling and that he only married her randomly to appease the Emperor Emeritus.
Some speculate that because Lu Zhaoling came from a humble background, Prince Jin felt that only a princess consort like that would not arouse the emperor's suspicion, which is why he chose Lu Zhaoling.
But after all these years, it would be incredibly foolish for them to think that way now.
They were all deceived by the Prince of Jin!
If the Prince of Jin didn't like Lu Zhaoling, would he have taken her to the southwest, to Subei? Would he have given her a grand wedding procession? Would he have let her go wherever she wanted every day? Would she have let her return to Huaiyuan whenever she wanted?
Furthermore, they've figured out exactly how the Yuan family's property was vandalized.
Isn't it because Yuan Jinyi was blind and had improper thoughts about Lu Zhaoling?
Think about it, the Empress, the Empress Dowager, the Second Prince, and others offended Lu Zhaoling on her wedding day, and none of them had a good ending.
Furthermore, the Crown Prince repeatedly refers to his wife as "Imperial Aunt," which clearly indicates that he knows his imperial uncle dotes on this princess.
Therefore, now that Princess Jin has become the direct disciple of the First Xuanmen, if anyone dares to object, wouldn't that be offending Prince Jin?
Having figured out all these twists and turns, many people have already given up. What are they objecting to?
The reconstruction of the First Mystic Sect would not cause them any direct loss or disadvantage, so what would they oppose?
Let the adults who have a direct interest in the position take the lead.
Lord Chen stood in the queue, turning his head to look outside the hall from time to time, unable to remain calm at all.
"What are they even objecting to? It's like their objections make no difference."
Lord Chen couldn't wait to see Lu Zhaoling and the others enter the palace.
He found it amusing to listen to the adults' whispers.
Could these people possibly oppose his Miss Lu, no, his Princess Consort?
She was originally the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, okay?
If any of these people dared to chatter in front of her, the princess would unleash a thunderbolt talisman and send them screeching and leaping about like toads.
"Lord Lin, how is Prime Minister Shen doing at the Dali Temple? When will he return to court?" The official beside Lin Rong quietly inquired.
Lin Rong's eyes flashed, and he understood what the other party meant.
This is to find out if Prime Minister Shen has a chance to come back. If Prime Minister Shen can return here and be a good prime minister, then many people here may still be like reeds in the wind, depending on the situation and deciding which side they want to side with.
"The Court of Judicial Review has already gathered a considerable amount of evidence, but until then, I will treat Minister Shen with the utmost courtesy."
Lin Rong said this, and the officials next to him immediately understood what he meant.
"Before this."
That means there will always be a later time, and when that time comes, he won't need to treat Prime Minister Shen with any more courtesy.
Judging from Lin Rong's words, Prime Minister Shen is truly doomed this time and will not have a chance to return.
These officials exchanged glances, each having made a decision.
"Sect Master Yin led his disciples into the hall."
The voice of a palace attendant could be heard from outside.
Everyone turned to look.
The group entered the main hall.
Whether it was their imagination or not, the moment the group stepped into the main hall, the adults standing closer to the entrance suddenly felt a gentle breeze on their faces, carrying a pleasant coolness that instantly invigorated them.
Looking at the group of people again, they noticed that their robes were flowing and their long hair was slightly tossed. Although there was no wind in the hall, it seemed as if a gentle breeze was surrounding them as they walked in, giving them an ethereal appearance.
Each of them possessed an ethereal air, their steps seemingly treading on gusts of wind, as if they were about to take flight at any moment.
Everyone stared in disbelief for a moment.
At that moment, no one realized that the people who entered were ordinary mortals.
In that instant, they even believed that these were people from the First Mystic Sect.
They have no choice but to agree.
The crown prince's eyes also brightened slightly, and he stepped down to greet him.
Leading the way was Yin Changxing.
They all wore new clothes when they entered the palace today.
The new clothes were all crescent-white shirts with sky-blue overcoats; the men wore jade hairpins, and the women wore white jade hairpins.
Uniform attire makes them look stylish.
Next to Yin Changxing was Weng Songzhi, then Lu Zhaoling and Yin Yunting, followed by Lü Song and Rong Jingjing.
Now only a few of them have entered the palace.
Lu Zhaoling glanced at the assembled officials and then gave her junior brother a look.
Lu Zhaoling: Junior brother, do you see how wide-eyed these adults are?
Yin Yunting: I saw it.
Lu Zhaoling: Master and Uncle-Master have set the standard for being masters very well.
Yin Yunting: Let's not talk about them, Senior Sister, even your posture is straighter than usual.
Lu Zhaoling: Hehe.
Yin Yunting: Stop rolling your eyes and maintain your composure.
Lu Zhaoling: Understood.
Of these, Lü Song was the most normal. It was his first time entering the main hall and seeing all the civil and military officials.
However, he used to admire the First Mystic Sect, so he held his head high and didn't embarrass the sect.
Rong Jingjing felt a little emotional.
She used to be a palace maid. Now she's back!
Lu Zhaoling looked up and met Lord Chen's gaze.
Lord Chen was overjoyed, his hands gesturing wildly, his mouth forming the words: "Your Highness! It's been so long since I've seen you! Your Highness!"
Lu Zhaoling's eyes hurt a little, so she nodded casually and quickly looked away.
"Sect Leader Yin, I have just told all the lords the good news about the reconstruction of the First Mystic Sect."
The Crown Prince looked at Yin Changxing, his face also showing excitement.
"However, some of the esteemed individuals may have had some objections to your identity and the reconstruction of the First Mystic Sect. Do you have a way to persuade them?"
Yin Changxing slightly raised his eyes, his disdainful gaze sweeping across the entire room.
He spoke slowly, "I wonder which esteemed person has this objection?"
"Why not step forward and speak frankly? I, the sect leader, will answer your questions carefully." He spoke slowly, but it sounded somewhat threatening.
