If we neglect this duty, we will find it difficult to explain to the Emperor!
Before the Empress could respond, Chen Jinheng took Gu Qianluo's hand and strode towards the outside.
The Empress felt a deep unease, and anger welled up in her eyes. "Hmph! The people of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion are still so unruly!"
Isn't it just because they're relying on the late emperor's favor?
Li Zhiya watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes cool, and she said anxiously,
"Mother! Are you just going to let Gu Qianluo go like this? What if she really is the murderer who harmed the Second Prince?"
Gu Qianxue was also frustrated. She never expected that Chen Jinheng would be able to stand up to the Empress for her sake.

"I'll let you off this time because of your deep affection for the Second Prince. But if there's a next time, you'll be kicked out of the palace."
After saying this, the Empress left, supported by Princess Zhiya.
Gu Qianxue stood there, stunned, large tears streaming down her cheeks. She pounded the floor with her fists and said angrily,
