Shang Ruyi stepped forward and knelt, saying, "Greetings to Father Emperor!"
Behind her, Chu Ruoyan, Tushere, and the others also knelt to the ground, saying, "Greetings to the Emperor."
Even though she was under house arrest, she was still Princess Qin, and because the events of that night had not been concluded, Yu Wenquan did not even allow the palace to spread rumors about it. So, Shang Ruyi was not treated harshly in Chengqian Hall. Before coming here, someone even helped her freshen up, so she looked clean and presentable. However, upon closer inspection, one could see her eyes filled with red veins and a haggard expression.
Seeing her like this, Yu Wenquan's heart softened a bit.
But there was not a hint of change on his face, and he only said, "What, is the meaning of this?"
