Chapitre 320: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"Are you deliberately stalling for time to cover up for Duke Lang? What benefits did you receive from him? How dare you help him like this!"

The two guards hurriedly shook their heads in denial. "No, no! Absolutely not!"

Princess Tao Ran wanted to change out the guards who were carrying out the punishment, but the two guards were afraid of taking responsibility and refused. Just as Princess Tao Ran lost her temper and wanted to severely punish the two disobedient guards, Wei Huai'en finally returned.

He conveyed the emperor's intentions to Princess Tao Ran.

"His Majesty said he wants to see you. Please follow me."

Hearing this, the corners of Princess Tao Ran's mouth curled up into a triumphant smile.
