"Consort Liu indeed overstepped just now, I hope Crown Prince Helian doesn't take offense."
The Old Emperor finally spoke, saying this to He Lienuo, and then directly looked at Consort Liu: "Tonight's royal banquet, it seems my beloved consort drank quite a lot, so much that even her mind is muddled. Someone, carefully escort Consort Liu back to the palace to rest!"
Letting Consort Liu return to the palace to rest before the banquet's conclusion was an even more embarrassing punishment than a tangible one!
Consort Liu's face turned white then red, but her last thread of reason told her she couldn't speak again; she could only go along with the Old Emperor's suggestion that she was drunk, or else what awaited her wouldn't be just a simple return to the palace!
"Yes, I am indeed a bit dizzy, so I will take my leave."
Consort Liu hung her head low, and though she was extremely unwilling in her heart, she had no choice but to be the first to leave the hall.
