"Enough! Go back!"
"No! Until the Emperor punishes me, Yiren feels guilty!"
"…" Does this girl want to stick around, thinking he's done something to this woman?
A faint smile tugs the corner of Lu Ming's mouth.
"You both have trespassed into my Qinglin Pool, a crime that both of you should be punished for. However, Princess Yiren is under my **** decree, allowing her free access to any part of the palace. Still, you have disturbed my leisure. As punishment, I order you to teach this maid who trespassed into Qinglin Pool a lesson!"
The Emperor knowingly protects Yiren, proving his innocence.
He is clearly telling Jing Yiren that this woman came to seduce him on her own initiative and he has done nothing wrong.
Zhu Yu'er is certainly at a disadvantage no matter what.
Upon hearing the command of the Emperor, Jing Yiren smirks, now realizing this woman shamelessly tried to seduce her Emperor Uncle. This eased the resentment she held in her heart.
