Chương 445: Justice

The Emperor had long been aware of the cruise ship incident and the scandal involving the fifth princess and the gigolo, and he had been seething with anger initially.

However, as he listened to the fabricated stories spun by the Crown Prince and witnessed the fifth princess's tearful confession, his anger gradually subsided.

Seizing the moment, the Empress knelt on the ground and wept. "Your Majesty, our daughter has suffered such grievous harm. I can't bear to live anymore…"

While speaking, she struck her head against the Emperor's throne, prompting the Crown Prince to swiftly pull her back.

"Mother, please don't distress yourself too much!"

The Emperor furrowed his brows. "Empress, cease this folly!"

"Guards, escort the Empress away!"

However, the Empress vehemently refused to depart.

"Your Majesty, I implore you to seek justice for our daughter. Unearth the truth and bring the one who harmed our daughter to justice!"
