Seeing that her words had no effect, Liu immediately pulled Liu Baoxuan down to kneel down as well.
"Quickly apologize to the princess! What are you thinking?"
Liu Baoxuan, his spine hardened, retorted, "What's there to apologize for? She hit me first, she insulted you first! I think she's the one who should apologize!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Baoxuan, showing no fear of death, shook off Liu's hand, stood up from the ground, and said to Princess Jinghe:
"If you apologize to me, I won't take what you just said to heart. But if you continue to be so arrogant and domineering, let me tell you, you're not going to get away with this!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his head.
She glanced sideways at Gu Jiangli, as if to say, "How was it? I did a good job, didn't I?"
Gu Jiangli secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Upon hearing this, Liu almost fainted again.
But before she could completely faint, a dignified voice came from outside the door:
"What wrong has my daughter done? I will seek justice for you."
The emperor appeared before the crowd dressed in bright yellow robes.
Before the guests could even watch the play, they all knelt down in quick succession.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The enormous Xie mansion fell silent once again.
When Liu heard the crowd shout "Your Majesty," she was so frightened that she dared not move.
Liu Baoxuan was also terrified and instinctively knelt down.
Princess Jinghe recovered from her dazed state upon seeing her father, the Emperor.
Large tears instantly fell as she ran to the emperor's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
The emperor comforted her for a few moments, then asked in a rather authoritative voice:
"I delayed Jinghe's wedding due to some official business, but unexpectedly so many things have happened? Can someone tell me what exactly happened? What wrong has my princess done?"
No one from the Xie family dared to speak, and Liu Baoxuan's body trembled uncontrollably, rendering him completely speechless.
The emperor then asked another person:
"General Xie, you are the most impartial person. Why don't you tell me what exactly happened? How did this marriage turn out like this?"
Xie Shiyan coldly replied, "I was dozing off just now and didn't see it clearly. Anyway, the princess hit Liu Baoxuan, and Liu Baoxuan hit the princess. Your Majesty should ask someone else instead of me."
Xie Shiyan's attitude was clear: he didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
In short, they all took action.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, the emperor turned his attention to Gu Jiangli.
"Since you don't know, did your wife see what just happened clearly?"
This may seem like a question, but it's actually an attempt to get Gu Jiangli to choose sides.
Gu Jiangli calmly stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, just now the prince consort and the princess were arguing incessantly, and then they started fighting."
"If you ask me, the prince consort should be more magnanimous. Even though the princess is shrewish, unreasonable, domineering, ruthless, and arrogant... she is still a woman."
"As a man, it is absolutely wrong to fight with a woman."
"Besides, you shouldn't hit someone in the face. How could the prince consort slap the princess in front of so many people?"
"How is the princess supposed to face people after this?"
