The commotion caused by Princess Si Yi Mansion was significant. Qin Liu Xi thought about Song Zilian's gruesome death and the plans of Prince Xinyang Mansion. Not only did he not conceal it, but he also sent messages separately to Lin Xiang and Marquis Cheng'en.
Xuanming, the devotee of Prince Xinyang Mansion, used spells of evil magic to harm the Empress. Although Xuanming fled, how to affix this crime to Xinyang Mansion is something they would certainly devise, and Song Zilian's tragic death could equally be taken advantage of.
The Lin Zuo families, being related by marriage, had nearly let their own child fall into the clutches of the venomous Princess Si Yi. Now, having gained leverage naturally, they attack fiercely, causing the Song family to file a lawsuit with the imperial court, accusing Princess Si Yi of harming a pregnant concubine and entangling Empress Mu in the affair. Princess Si Yi was soon imprisoned in the grand prison of the Ministry of Justice.
