Chapter 251: This relates to the state

Ashen faced was the Empress Dowager.

Although she understood what the Imperial Empress was conveying, but when she recalled the trickery by family of Valiant Martial Manor playing her like a fool, she could not help but be angered.

"Ai jia did not say that she is condemning Bai Ruoqi of her crimes now. Shouldn't everything be investigated first right? We still need to wait a few days for evidence to be found?"

As the Imperial Empress was struggling to produce an appropriate response, the Imperial Tutor spoke out.

"Your Highness Empress Dowager, forgive this old man's words. Even if we find evidence, we cannot declare Second Young Miss Bai's crime!"

Glaring, the Empress Dowager replied with displeasure: "Imperial Tutor, Ai jia and the Emperor have always held high regard for you. But you cannot disregard state law! Although Bai Ruoqi is your disciple, since there is evidence for her crime, she must accept the consequences!"
