"What do you mean by crime? There is no need for you to make it sound so serious. I just thought that you were at fault for gossiping and wanted to sentence you with a minor punishment. If you don't agree with me, just treat it as if I haven't said anything," Lu Liangwei's expression softened slightly as she said this casually.
However, the Pure Consort mistook her words as Lu Liangwei being unnerved at the mention of His Majesty. She was not prepared to let this go as she replied, "I would never dare to disagree. Your Highness has the authority to sentence punishment. However, you should inform His Majesty about the punishment you have given me."
Lu Liangwei knew exactly what the Pure Consort was thinking, so she said in a grudging manner, "But His Majesty has been extremely busy these few days over the conquest of Danjue. If I were to disturb him blatantly, His Majesty might not be happy."
