Jingfei asked permission from her father to meet her mother, but he refused. She asked Qiu Zedong if he would keep her mother locked forever. Her eyes had tears and the anger was on the tip of her nose.
"The Queen has been punished, Princess Jingfei. Her crime was punishable. That's why she is enclosed in the four walls of her manor. Do not argue with your father over this," Qiu Zedong said, who was seated on the throne.
"But Li Hua is safe, Father. She didn't get harmed in any way," Jingfei stated and lowered her eyes. She wanted to remain humble in front of her father.
"Sister Jingfei, her life could have gotten into danger. Luckily, the trained soldiers were with her. Else, it would have been difficult for her to survive," Xiaoming said as he halted next to his sister while holding a scroll in his hand.
Jingfei turned to her brother and bowed at him.
