Leng Muling had knelt for several hours and was almost delirious when she saw Mo Qi. Her eyes turned red and she instinctively wanted to cry, "Seventh… seventh brother."
But upon remembering the words of Yun Sijin, she immediately shook her head, "I have no face to plead for the Leng family. My sister plotted against the Crown Prince and committed a grave mistake; our family also erred. I need to atone for the Leng family."
"You, a woman, atone for what!"
Mo Qi reached out to pull her up, but Leng Muling didn't budge.
Mo Qi then went to see Su Yingxue himself.
Su Yingxue was aware they were both outside, but when Mo Qi came to kneel before her, she put down the medical book in her hand, her tone indifferent, "Her Majesty didn't punish Ling'er; she knelt outside the palace gate on her own."
"I know, but Ling'er is innocent," Mo Qi pleaded as he kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please don't punish her the same as the other Leng family members."
