Chapter 428: Is Cang Ming Such a Pervert?
Jiutu, upon hearing those words, knew that Shen Xiheng would not easily let this matter go away. His brows furrowed tightly as he contemplated a solution.
As the State Preceptor, he really shouldn’t meddle in matters of the harem, especially since Shen Xiheng had sent Mo Qingshan to deliver the message, clearly aiming to drag him into the affair.
But if he did not enter the palace, who knew how much worse the situation could become.
Facing difficulties on both sided, he could only take one step at a time now.
Before the Empress could speak, Jiutu stepped forward and said to Shen Xiheng, "Indeed, it was Princess who was at fault initially, but the person who injured the Commandery Princess was not her. We can hand over the main culprit to Minister Shen for judgment. Would that satisfy you, Minister Shen?"
What Shen Xiheng wanted was simply an explanation. As long as Jiang Xuerong was pushed out, his anger could be calmed. Jiutu was well aware of this, and his words were impeccably precise.
"State Preceptor truly knows how to calculate," Shen Xiheng sneered, but he did not pursue the matter further.
The mastermind behind the incident was neither the Empress nor the Princess, but Jiang Xuerong. Hence, Jiutu’s suggestion was reasonable and logical.
Even if it had really been the Empress and the Princess, he had no evidence and could only swallow his anger.
With that, the matter finally settled down, and even the Empress breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Shen Xiheng would relentlessly push the issue into the open.
