Emperor Fu Aotian looked at these two people, his brow furrowed in displeasure, "Give the Lonely King a reason!"
Ji Ruyan and Fu Yuesheng exchanged glances; in the end, it was Fu Yuesheng who spoke first, "Uncle Emperor, as you know, behind Consort Xue stands the Yi Country Royal Family. Even if we wanted to execute her, we would need evidence. Now, to determine Consort Xue's guilt solely based on Ji Dongming's word is too arbitrary, and this is not good."
Ji Ruyan, on the other hand, laughed, her tone somewhat light, "Emperor, if you want Consort Xue to admit her guilt sincerely and willingly, the only way is to find evidence of her crimes. That would leave Yi Country with nothing to say, and in this matter, Your Majesty could even demand an apology from Yi Country. Otherwise, how could we do justice to those ladies who have already died? At the very least, we should make Yi Country pay a large sum of silver. That would fill the imperial treasury too!"
