Chapter 574: The Last Hope

  The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Bai Shuang knelt on the ground and did not even dare to breathe.

 Su Ying had told them before that they could have a kind heart, but a kind heart that overestimated their own abilities could very well become a sharp blade that would stab them in return.

 "Your Imperial Highness, your servant knows her mistake."

 Su Ying's face was emotionless. "Go and wait on one side. Wait for those two officials to come in. Let's see what they have to say."
