White Fence Dream

Chapter 183 Intervene
In Princess Jinyu's mansion, the lights that had been on all night gradually dimmed with the morning light.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall, but they were not the handsome young men they used to be. The youngest was in his forties or fifties, and the older ones had gray hair and were not as good-looking as the prince consort.

There were no fine wines or delicacies, or musical instruments such as pianos and drums, in the hall, only piles and scattered volumes of banknotes.

If people outside could see in, they would be shocked to see that Princess Jin Yu had really changed. Not only did she drive away the beautiful boy, she even studied hard all night.

"Princess, Princess." Aju called softly in front of the couch.

Princess Jin Yu was sleeping with her eyes closed on the soft couch covered with paper rolls, but she seemed to be sleeping unsteadily with a frown on her face.

When she opened her eyes at Aju's call, Princess Jinyu felt even more headache when she saw the unpleasant-sighted men sitting in the palace.

"Life is so hard these days," she said, holding out her hand.

Aju quickly took the bamboo fan beside her.

Although it was already the end of the first lunar month, the weather was still very cold. Even though the princess was in a warm place like spring, it was not the time to use a fan. Princess Jin Yu naturally did not use the fan to fan herself.

She took the fan and held it in front of her face before looking toward the hall again and asking, "Have you finished reading everything?"

Yesterday, Shangguan Yue suddenly came to ask for a meeting, told me about the Yang case that Zhang Ze was investigating, and then knelt on the ground.

Princess Jin Yu naturally knew about this and was very happy about it. She had long disliked the Yang family. They used to be slaves in front of her, but now they had become the queen and were so high and mighty. This was really unpleasant.

But Shangguan Yue suddenly knelt down. Was she trying to plead for the Yang family?

"This is not the time for you to show off." Princess Jin Yu immediately frowned.

"Aunt, I don't want to show off, nor do I want to plead for Yang." Shangguan Yue raised her head and said with tears in her eyes, "I hate Du. Du is not only colluding with Yang, but when my father was accused of raising private soldiers and plotting against the law, it was Du's handiwork."

So Shangguan Yue came to ask the princess to come forward and take advantage of Du's arrest to dig out the facts of their false accusation against the prince in order to clear the prince's name.

The case of the late crown prince raising private soldiers.

Princess Jin Yu also remembered that as the prince grew up and the emperor grew old, the conflicts between her father and the prince increased. The rumor of raising private soldiers intensified the conflict between the two. The late emperor directly ordered an investigation. The prince felt deeply ashamed and had a big quarrel with his father. Although the final result of the investigation showed that there were indeed soldiers, it was not that the prince raised private soldiers, but that he was providing pensions to a group of retired disabled soldiers. Despite this, the rift between her father and the prince deepened, until the prince was finally deposed and set himself on fire.

To reverse the verdict for the prince.

Princess Jin Yu clenched the bamboo fan in her hand tightly. This was a big deal.

"…Yes, this is a major matter involving the Heavenly Family. Looking at it now, only my aunt can take action."

"….My nephew has no other requests. My father has been abandoned by my grandfather, who is no longer with us. The regrets of father and son are hard to resolve. I hope my brothers and sisters can know the truth and stop abandoning him."

The love between brothers and sisters is so deep. After so long, she is still running around for her deceased elder brother. It doesn’t matter whether her elder brother knows about it or is grateful. If her younger brother sees it, he will definitely be moved, grateful, and admire her as the elder sister…
"I have collected all the evidence and witnesses over the years, but I am of low status, so I ask you to negotiate with the court officials. I will give all the evidence and witnesses to you, aunt."

She had to deal with court officials. In the past, these officials seemed respectful in front of her, but in fact they never took her seriously. This time, she was involved in such a big case, and she had witnesses and evidence in her hands. She stood in front of the emperor and decided the life and death of the Yang and Du families in front of the court officials. Let's see who dares to look down on her in the future.

Princess Jin Yu thought of this, put down her bamboo fan, swept away her fatigue, and asked energetically: "What is the result? Is it irrefutable?"

An old man stepped forward and replied: "Congratulations, Princess——"

Just as he opened his mouth, Princess Jin Yu raised her bamboo fan again and waved her hand at him: "Stand further away and talk."

The old man stepped back awkwardly and said, "Congratulations, Princess. We have all the evidence. We have looked through the previous files and can prove that it was indeed the Du family who planned to slander the late crown prince."

Princess Jinyu asked again, "Is it true that Madam Du is colluding with Empress Jiang?"

Another person stepped forward and answered, "Yes, at that time, Du used the identity of the daughter of Empress Jiang to only let the female members of her family come forward, and never asked for official titles. It was extremely secretive, so no one discovered it."

Princess Jinyu nodded with the bamboo fan in her hand: "Okay, you have worked hard."

Everyone in the hall bowed and said, "It is our honor to serve the princess."

Ever since Princess Jin Yu reformed herself and drove away the beautiful young man, in addition to the staff provided by Shangguan Yue, she also recruited a group of aides. Although the princess had a bad reputation, she was a royal princess after all, and now the emperor's sister. Her words and deeds could influence life and death, wealth and honor. Many people still came to her, hoping to use the princess's influence to rise to the top.

"You guys go and rest for a while, Aju, give me a bath and change my clothes, I'm going to the palace." Princess Jin Yu said.

Aju leaned over and answered yes, then urged the men in the hall to leave quickly.

After they hurriedly left, Ah Ju helped Princess Jin Yu to stand up: "Princess, everyone has left, you can put down your fan now." Princess Jin Yu put down her fan, glanced into the hall, and closed her eyes again: "The room is dirty, when will this day end?"

"The princess has suffered," Aju said, helping her into the hot spring bath.

Indeed, she suffered. Princess Jin Yu thought, I wonder if Queen Jiang had suffered in the past. But then she sneered, thinking that Jiang Mian'er was born into a lowly family, and it was only right for her to suffer for having become extremely rich.

But she is different. She was born into great wealth. Now she has to endure so much hardship. If she still can't get as much power as Jiang Mian'er, God must be blind.

Princess Jin Yu looked at the hot spring bath in front of her. There were no handsome young men here anymore. They were replaced by maids and eunuchs, all of whom were of ordinary appearance.

"Okay, everyone, back off," she said unhappily.

……

……

Accompanied by the bright sunlight, Princess Jinyu's carriage drove out of the princess's mansion. At the same time, her maid Aju also left from the back door and soon arrived at the houseboat on the shore outside the city.

"The princess has already asked someone to confirm it." Aju said to Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue smiled and said, "Aunt is still very cautious."

He knew that Princess Jin Yu would not believe him easily. Princess Jin Yu had a bad reputation, but she was not stupid, otherwise she would not have survived the more than ten years of turmoil in the government.

Ah Ju said, "Your sincerity is impeccable. The princess has already packed the evidence and gone to the palace."

Shangguan Yue bowed to Aju and said, "Thank you, sister Aju, for telling me."

Ah Ju looked at him and shook her head: "I don't deserve your thanks. I just said what I saw, but I can't guarantee whether it will be of any use to you or whether things will go as you wish."

At that time, she saw Qin Tong being scolded by the princess and being saved by the prince consort. She thought Qin Tong had good intentions and told the story to the young master. However, Qin Tong wanted to kill Shangguan Yue.

If I hadn't said anything, Shangguan Yue would have been more wary of this person, and Rui Bo wouldn't have lost his life.

It was rare that Shangguan Yue did not blame her afterwards, but she no longer dared to think of herself as being a benefactor. Things in the world are unpredictable, and human hearts are hard to predict.

Shangguan Yue knew what the maid was thinking. She was about to say something, but Bai Li, who was sitting next to her, spoke first: "It's okay, don't worry. We won't put all our hopes on one person when we do things."

Hearing this, Aju looked towards her, and when she came in, she saw that there was a young girl in the room of Shangguan Yue, who always lived alone. The girl was bright and pretty, and was dressed like a maid on a ship.

But when she saw her come in, Shangguan Yue did not let the maid leave.

I can still interrupt now.

It can be seen that this maid is special in the eyes of the young master.

Shangguan Yue noticed the word "we" and couldn't help laughing, and asked, "So what do we do?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "We will put our hopes on a few more people."

……

……

Princess Jin Yu's carriage drove onto the Imperial Street. The eunuch accompanying the carriage jumped off and prepared to trot to tell the eunuch at the palace gate.

This way, when the princess arrives, she won’t have to wait any longer and can go directly into the palace.

But just as he jumped out of the car, Princess Jin Yu called him back: "Don't go to the palace yet, go to the Supervisory Office to see if Zhang Ze is there."

Zhang Ze?

The eunuch was stunned. The princess never dealt with Zhang Ze.

"The Queen's case has caused a lot of controversy. I have to go and ask about it." Princess Jin Yu sighed, "She is Liu Lang's first wife."

That was indeed the case. As the eldest sister, she naturally had to ask about it. The eunuch responded with yes and trotted towards the Supervisory Board.

Today there is less, just half a chapter, and I am actually a little uncomfortable with it.
