The Emperor's expression flickered between light and shadow as Lianyi spoke.
After a long silence, he sighed heavily and said in a low voice, "Even if you wanted to vent your anger for your young master... do you have any evidence proving that the Wei Family was behind the attack on him?"
Lianyi raised her head, not bothering to wipe the tear stains from her face. She said coolly, "Does Your Majesty truly believe evidence is that important? The Wei Family was attacked. If I don't admit to it, who would dare say I was the one who did it?
The reason I came to confess to Your Majesty is that I did not wish to deceive you. The Wei Family has gone too far. Without evidence, Your Majesty naturally cannot punish them. But if that happens, all the Military Generals will inevitably grow resentful. They risk their lives on the front lines, yet their families at home cannot be protected..."
