Making Them Pay the Cost

Empress Xie refused to rise, her mouth still uttering words of apology.

Emperor Muwu sighed.

Seeing Empress Xie in such a state, it was not appropriate to kick her while she was down.

Even Prince Qing, who rolled his eyes, closed his mouth.

The Emperor himself admitted that he had failed to educate his son, so he naturally wouldn't join in the commotion.

Emperor Muwu struggled with his decision and once again looked towards Ye Siheng.

To his surprise, his ninth brother was standing with Nanli, whispering softly.

When he noticed that her hair was disheveled, Ye Siheng attentively helped her fix it.

Such gentle and captivating features were unseen by Emperor Muwu before.

He sighed heavily once again, realizing that his ninth brother did not wish to involve himself in these matters. He had no choice but to make the decision himself, saying, "This incident was a result of the Crown Prince being deceived and framed. The blame cannot be placed on the Empress."
