Punishment

Before Emperor Qi Ming could speak, Xue Ru spoke first.

She had clearly put those letters in the study room. She had personally tucked them into the book. How could it possibly be missing?

Xue Ru's eyes were filled with anxiety, but she didn't notice that everyone from the General's mansion was looking at her.

Doubt and anger were evident in the eyes of the people of the General's mansion. Only Jiang Peihuan looked at Xue Ru with a cold expression.

"Who are you?"

Hearing Xue Ru's voice, Emperor Qi Ming's attention landed on her.

Seeing Emperor Qi Ming in bright yellow robes, excitement filled Xue Ru's eyes. She stepped forward and knelt, fervently saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I belong to the Xue family. I am carrying the child of Prince Qing."

Upon hearing Xue Ru's words, everyone, including Emperor Qi Ming, was stunned.
