"This is utter nonsense!" Prince Rong flung his sleeves. "Yongping's case was ordered by the Emperor and Empress personally. The decree mandates a three-year house arrest, and not a day can be reduced! How many days has it been? And she already thinks of making a move? Has she ever respected the Emperor and Empress?
