The next day, early morning court.
After discussing disaster relief with the officials, the Emperor was about to adjourn the court.
Imperial Censor Liu suddenly stepped forward to impeach the Prince, accusing him of concealing Xie Jingchen's true lineage, whose biological mother was the Nanliang Donglin Prince Mansion's Princess Hengyang.
This revelation sent shockwaves through the court.
The officials were astonished, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
The Emperor sat on the Dragon Chair, stunned by the impeachment from Imperial Censor Liu, unable to regain his composure.
The Prince furrowed his brows tightly.
The Emperor looked at Imperial Censor Liu and asked, "Why does Liu Aiqing think this way?"
Imperial Censor Liu presented a painting for the Emperor to examine.
Hmm.
It was not a copied painting.
Duke Chong had sent someone to steal the Prince's original work.
Eunuch Fu descended the steps, took the painting, and unfolded it for the Emperor to view.
