The second day at dawn, just as Yan Huisheng had said, the Emperor presided over the morning court session, and the first order of business was to conclude the case of the Imperial Concubine Zhen.
The case of Imperial Concubine Zhen had far-reaching implications, implicating many people, including the Crown Prince Yan Li, the Crown Prince's concubine Ning Yao, and a host of others in the palace such as Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and Lipin.
Rui'an King, the presiding judge of the case, listed countless crimes committed by these people and read them publicly in the court.
