Moreover, her actions in harming the princess also offended the emperor... She said so many unpleasant things in front of the emperor, which is adding insult to injury. His Majesty will not let her off easily.
Prince Yu remained unmoved, looking at her as if she were a complete stranger.
Having no other choice, Lan Shuang knelt before the mistress again to plead for mercy:
