But seeing Jingtai's indifferent gaze, Noble Consort Yang dared not conceal anything and quickly said:
"It's... some misunderstanding."
At this moment, Noble Consort Yang dared not to slander Chen Yuan further, fearing that Jingtai would reprimand her again for this issue.
At the same time, she was alarmed, realizing that the Emperor's informants were everywhere in the Harem.
"Truly a misunderstanding? What I've heard is different, that it was you who summoned Chen Yuan into Chunhua Palace, trying to force him to yield by doing so and to save your dear brother."
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Panic flashed in Noble Consort Yang's eyes.
"Hmph...."
Jingtai let out a light snort:
"Yang Hucheng violated the court laws, to be dealt with by the Ministry of Justice and the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Since when is it the Harem's place to decide? This is the last time. If there's a next time...."
He didn't state it overtly, but anyone could sense the deep threat implied.
