Chapter 517: Good Intentions_1

The counselor in green did not hear Bai Qingyan's response. He dared not lift his head.

Chun Tao carried a teacup around the dark lacquered, gold-embellished sandalwood pillar and served tea to Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup and said, "I thought breaking Li Mingtang's leg last time would have taught Li Mao a lesson. He should know by now what to do and what not to do!"

The counselor in green kowtowed. "This matter was all my doing. I beg the princess to quell her anger."

"Li Mao shoved you into this. Is he not afraid I'll kill you?" Bai Qingyan rubbed the edge of the teacup with her fingers. She stared half-smiling at the green-clad counselor kneeling on the ground.

"The idea came from me. I deserved to be punished! Even if the princess kills me, it would be justified!" The counselor in green responded earnestly.
