That day, not long after Shen Jingxian returned to the palace, the Emperor and Empress heard about the incident at the school. Although they didn't tell Shen Jingxian, Shi Wang secretly informed her that the Eldest Prince was punished because of her.
The Emperor felt that the Eldest Prince had failed in his duties as an older brother, preferring to trust others rather than his own sister.
The Empress said nothing, but it was heard that her gaze was particularly terrifying.
Afterwards, the Emperor, citing reflection, excused the Eldest Prince from attending the Imperial College for half a month, effectively grounding him.
Shen Jingxian instinctively felt that this was her mother's idea. She always knew that between the Emperor and Empress, the Empress was the smarter one and also the more ruthless one, especially towards those who had hurt her; the Empress would show no mercy.
