The Emperor didn't need to ask, he already knew that it was Princess Shoukang's own issue; he was well aware of how virtuous the Empress was.
Probably, the matter wasn't entirely as Princess Shoukang described.
The Emperor casually said, "I understand, you may leave for now. I still have many memorials to review."
Princess Shoukang, feeling aggrieved, bowed and retreated.
From a young age, she wasn't very close to this imperial brother, and naturally did not dare to speak more.
The Emperor then sent someone to inquire about this matter from the Empress.
The eunuch returned to mimic the report to the Emperor, who listened and, feeling a bit annoyed, said, "This Huan Huan truly, she openly questioned the legitimacy of someone's child; being slapped was really quite gentle."
"How could there be any semblance of princess-like manners?"
After the Emperor finished speaking, he put the matter aside, not considering punishing Madam Jiang or reprimanding the Empress.
