The Empress frowned: "If it concerned the harem, I could naturally make a decision. But this is the East Palace, I can't arbitrarily meddle with the Crown Prince's people."
The Crown Prince had arrived.
Princess Ling'an immediately cried and shouted for justice, begging her royal brother to stand up for her.
Li Hongyuan suppressed his urge to kick her out of the East Palace. With an expressionless face, he said to the Empress: "I have roughly understood the matter. If I remember correctly, this Shuihua came from the Serene Phoenix Palace, did she not? In that case, Your Highness should investigate this matter's connection with the Serene Phoenix Palace instead of making life difficult for the Princess Consort."
Jiang Ning wished he could applaud him on the spot.
Yes, face her directly!
A Crown Prince of a nation, afraid of an Empress?
