Su Luo tightly held her hand, shaking her head.
The Marchioness of Zhenbei, sensing that something wasn't right, stood up, "Your Majesty, after all, Su Luo is a maiden from within the chamber, this punishment is a bit too harsh!"
Ouyang Jing also said, "Yes, Empress, with thirty lashes, a life would be nearly lost. When the Duke of Qi returns triumphant from the battlefield, it will not be easy to explain!"
The Lady Zhong Yongbo glanced at Su Luo, sighed, and also stood up to plead for mercy.
The Empress, in her current state of fury, these pleas for mercy not only had no effect, but added fuel to the fire!
She sneered, "The country has its laws, the family its rules, take her away!"
Just as the Imperial Guard was about to leave with the two of them, an indulgent voice from the side rang out, "The Empress today, is quite furious!"
Following this voice, a bright yellow robe came into view from behind the screen.
