Dongguo Siqi followed Zhong Tianque all the way to the Light Pavilion, with a sincere attitude and an apologetic expression, said: "Your Highness, it is Chen Xi's fault for doing something so disgraceful to her ancestors, I apologize to you on her behalf."
"Please, Your Highness, do not hold it against her, forgive her this once."
"What is there to be at fault?" Zhong Tianque's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he said: "Perhaps, Chen Xi had no other choice... Maybe she was forced?"
Dongguo Siqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed up on Zhong Tianque's words, saying: "Exactly, for a woman who can't even truss a chicken to survive in this deep palace, is it so easy?"
"It's our lack of care and attention to her, thinking she would marry Your Highness and become the mistress of this Fengming Palace, one person above all others, with a status that is beyond noble... Who would have thought, she also has her unspeakable difficulties?"
