Madam Qin took all the blame and never mentioned Su Xiaoling's identity.
"I was thinking of kidnapping you and proposing marriage to your parents after the deed was done. Although it is illegal and immoral to do so, I knew that I had to do it. I never expected that you would be the Crown Prince's fiancée. Fortunately, the heavens were kind enough to not let me make a huge mistake. For this, I specially sent my daughter-in-law and son away because I was afraid that they would stop me if they found out. Now that the matter has been exposed, I will not shirk responsibility and am willing to be punished."
"It's just that this matter started because of me alone. Crown Prince and Wisdom King, please be lenient. On account that my deceased hubby has served the country for many years, on account that my son has served the Great Zhou for many years, don't pursue his fault. This matter was started by me alone. Let me bear it alone."
