559 Asking the Gentleman to Enter the Jar (Part 2)

Imperial Study Room.

Sitting beside the Emperor, Princess Ning An looked dim-spirited.

The Emperor patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't take it to heart, the truth of the case will eventually come to light."

With a low voice, Princess Ning An said, "Sometimes I wonder if I should not have returned. I was the one blinded, disregarding the advice not to marry to the distant border pass. In the end, the trust I placed was misplaced, bringing harm to hundreds of thousands of civilians at the border, suffering from warfare, and so many military officers lost their lives. When Your Majesty proposed to bestow upon me the title of Princess Protector of the Nation, I actually understood I was not worthy."

The Emperor looked at her: "Ning An ..."

Princess Ning An met his gaze: "Brother Emperor, hear me out."

The Emperor nodded helplessly: "Alright, speak."
