Chapter 387: The Empress is Very Clever

"This... this!" The Prefect and his entourage rushed over and changed color dramatically at the sight.

The Prefect looked at the person on the ground, his eyes shifting unpredictably, and subconsciously glanced at Mingshu, pleading in his tone, "Your Highness, could there be... some misunderstanding? I'm unaware of what wrongs my wife has committed to provoke Your Highness to such anger. Regardless, I, as an official, apologize to Your Highness on behalf of my wife!"

Madam Ruan raised her eyes to look over and saw the worry in his, a gentle smile playing on her lips, yet a trace of sadness flickered through her eyes.

Seeing her like this, the Prefect's heart grew heavier, and an incredulous guess shot through his mind. His voice trembled, "Madam Ruan, do say something, please!"

"I have nothing to say," Madam Ruan lowered her head to avoid his gaze, remaining silent.
