Empress Dowager Wang and Princess Yuhua were bewildered. How could things have developed so quickly?
Their original intention was to first deal with Wang Pang's crimes and then divorce him, which would not only vindicate Yuhua but also save her face, preventing anyone from saying Princess Yuhua divorced because she was jealous and didn't allow other women to bear the Prince Consort's children.
By saying this, hasn't the Emperor directly divorced them without even teaching Prince Consort Wang a lesson?
"Your Majesty, although the Princess is a royal daughter, she and the Prince Consort have not violated any national laws. If they agree on a divorce, it can be arranged," replied the Assistant Minister of Rites.
