Originally, the emperor still had doubts about He Shun plotting against the Liu family. But now, Consort Mei's reaction when she saw Ning Yue confirmed that this was true.
He Shun, who was lying on the ground, had already turned ashen. The Liu family was no longer something he could touch.
The Liu family had Ning Yue, the princess of Russia, and the emperor of the Great Yun Nation as their backing. He could not compare.
Now, the only thing he could do was protect his daughter. He said, "Your highness, I was wrong. I take responsibility for my own actions. This is my fault alone. It has nothing to do with my family."
"Do you think I'm a fool?" The emperor was furious. "You'll take responsibility for your own actions? Don't tell me that you were the one who kidnapped your son. Did you do it and leave your son's name behind to frame him? You can't murder the imperial heir and plot a rebellion alone."
