Li Hongyuan said, "Emperor Father, please calm down. I admit my wrongs. This matter has nothing to do with the Princess Consort, and I'm willing to bear all the responsibility."
"You really know how to protect your wife," the Emperor sneered, "She was the one who hit and injured her. How can this have nothing to do with her?"
The Emperor slapped the table forcefully, "Jiang Ning, do you admit your guilt?"
Jiang Ning calmly replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is getting old, and I don't mind her disrespectful words and actions. However, her hitting and scolding Wenzan and Lingzi led me, as their mother, to not be able to hold back my anger. Maybe it's understandable?"
The Emperor frowned, "What disrespectful words and actions did she have?"
"Concubine Xian made a scene, saying that it's because of me that Your Majesty doesn't visit her chamber..."
"Silence," the Emperor scolded, glancing around, "Watch your words."
