Long Jin, in one breath, shifted all the blame onto Consort Zhao.
Beside him, Shi Fei and Long Xinzhuo both shivered slightly.
Long Xinzhuo looked at Long Jin in disbelief.
Though Consort Zhao was ruthless, with her intelligence, it was clear she couldn't have orchestrated such an affair.
Beside him, Shi Fei grabbed Long Xinzhuo's hand, signaling him not to meddle.
"What a vicious Consort Zhao. Your Majesty, I have mismanaged, allowing such disgrace to occur in the harem. I beg Your Majesty to spare the life of Sister Zhao, and imprison her in the Cold Palace as a warning to others."
Empress Feng sighed upon hearing this.
Emperor Longteng's brow furrowed as he waved his hand, and several palace maids dragged Consort Zhao away.
"Wait. The haunting in Consort Zhao's palace is false, but she does have Ghost Energy on her. This suggests that my mother might have been wrongfully accused. I plead with Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter."
