This was not the outcome Su Luo had envisioned.
If she had known, she would have blindfolded both Jiang Shu and Wei Ya, so as to avoid so much trouble.
Having read the Empress's decree, the soldiers outside the palace had come in, but they only stood at a distance, taking no action, since Emperor Yue hadn't spoken yet. Anyway, both Su Luo and Jiang Shu were like turtles trapped in a jar, they couldn't run away.
Jiang Shu, hearing the words of the Crown Princess Consort, knelt on his knees, his face darkened as he deeply kowtowed to Emperor Yue, "Your Majesty, Su Luo is my legally wedded wife. No matter what she does, I, her husband, cannot avoid my responsibility. She is young and ignorant, hence, she committed such a foolish act. This is all due to my lack of discipline. If you want to punish, punish me and me alone!"
Wei Ya also kneeled down, "Father Emperor, I am also responsible for this. I was not vigilant enough. If there must be a punishment, I am ready to share it!"
