The next day, the news that Shangguan Wanru and Shangguan Ruixi had a big fight the previous night and that he had subsequently locked her up in the dungeon reached the ears of the Princess Consort of Prince An!
Not only did the Princess Consort know, but many servants also heard about it. Fortunately, aside from a few close maids who heard clearly what they were arguing about, the others did not understand the subject of their quarrel.
Upon learning that Shangguan Wanru had been locked in the dungeon by Shangguan Ruixi, the Princess Consort could not help shedding tears in front of father and son: "Poor Wanru, she has suffered so much in Nangong Country, but only to return and face imprisonment. Why is her life so bitter!"
"That's enough, stop crying. She's being accused of treason. A life in prison is better than being beheaded! We're doing this for her own good!" If Shangguan Wanru were not his daughter, she would have been a headless ghost outside the Meridian Gate by now!
