Chapter 467: The Son is Willing to Take the Punishment on Behalf of the Princess Consort

"You think I won't dare to punish you?"

"This humble son is willing to accept punishment. Please, Your Majesty, punish me severely!" Jiang Ning rubbed her leg.

The Emperor ignored her little action, sneering coldly, "Go kneel for half a month!"

"Emperor Father," Li Hongyuan spoke, "Jiang Ning's leg still hasn't fully healed,"

"If I don't punish her, others won't be appeased."

"I beseech Emperor Father's forgiveness. This humble son is willing to bear the punishment in place of the Princess Consort." Li Hongyuan bowed his body.

The Emperor looked at him for a moment and said, "Then, as you wish. Jiang Ning, you won't need to take the punishment, but you must go and apologize to Concubine Xian."

"I have to apologize to her?"

"Hm?" The Emperor's cold gaze swept over her.

"...This humble daughter obeys."

"You all may leave." The Emperor waved his hand.

The matter was settled like this.
