Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Won't Suspect the Princess Consort

The Emperor said, "Our Great Sheng is not so pedantic, a woman who marries must sever ties with her parents, no child is allowed to return home."

"Indeed, Emperor Father's benevolence is a blessing to the people of Great Sheng."

"You send her then, the sooner the better."

"But, the Princess Consort has specifically requested Mu Jian to escort her home."

"Hm?" The Emperor looked up, casting a somewhat doubtful glance at his son, "Are you indirectly trying to link this Mu Jian matter to the Jiang Family?"

Li Hongyuan gave a bitter smile, "Emperor Father, your son is simply speaking the truth. The reason for Li Xiu's punishment was exactly this."

"So the servant was punished, not because your words betrayed your feelings, wanting to see the Princess Consort, yet running off to the Side Concubine's chambers, leaving the Princess Consort waiting in vain all day?"
