Taking a deep breath, Zhong Mingxin slowly recounted how Nangong Xin had kept him under soft imprisonment in the Commandery Princess Mansion for the past ten years.
After speaking, he continued, "Emperor, I truly had no intention with Princess Mingyue, but the Commandery Princess has been unwilling to let me leave. I beseech you, Emperor, to make a judgment and restore my freedom!"
Hearing Zhong Mingxin's account, Nolan Deye couldn't help but flush with embarrassment for Nangong Xin's actions. Angered, he picked up the teacup from the table and smashed it onto Nangong Xin's body.
"Look at what you've done; you've completely disgraced our Royal Family."
Although Nangong Xin wasn't a member of their Royal Family, she was a Commandery Princess conferred by the court.
