"Where are you taking me?"
"See His Majesty! Didn't you want a pardon? Then plead with His Majesty personally."
Princess Yu Rong was put into a cage and taken away.
Aside from the death row inmates and serious criminals who were about to be executed, Princess Yurong was the only prisoner brought to the imperial palace in Daming Prefecture.
When the carriage arrived at the palace, Xiu Ning first had someone give Princess Yu Rong a quick wash and change her into clean clothes.
