"My dear Empress, there is no need to waste your breath scolding little girls." Emperor Fadong shook his head whilst heaving a sigh. "Let us move on to the important topic of discussion."
"There will be no more discussions about the life of Li Xueyue," an authoritative voice spoke from the right side of the throne room. Every pair of eyes shifted to the Empress Dowager who held her head high. Accompanying her was Duchess Wang Qixing who had a supportive hand under the Empress Dowager's elbows.
Emperor Fadong slightly laughed. "Mother, we were merely joking."
"Your jokes are terrible," Empress Dowager Meichun deadpanned. "A human life is not something to joke about."
"Every life is precious." She glanced at Li Xueyue with a mixture of uncertainty and hesitation. This girl's rash and outstanding behavior will one day lead her down the same painful path that Li Minghua once walked down.
"Leave the girl be."
