"explain."
Seeing Li Jingshu's appearance, Yinzhen's eyes darkened.
"Your Highness, after much consideration, I feel that keeping the Princess Consort under house arrest is truly damaging to the reputation of the Yong Prince's Mansion, and now that she has repented, Your Highness, may I lift the confinement on the Princess Consort?"
