In the main hall, Xiao Jinxing completed the punishment.
He said coldly, "Today's events should serve as a warning to everyone. If it happens again, I will show no mercy!"
Everyone knelt on the ground, receiving the imperial decree.
Xiao Jinxing walked towards An Ning.
An Ning pursed her lips, seeing a long, slender hand placed in front of her.
It was clearly intended to help her up.
Yet it seemed to respect her.
Bai Mowan watched Xiao Jinxing's gesture towards An Ning.
Tears streamed down her face, yet she held back, making no sound.
All the humiliation Xiao Jinxing gave her today, she was determined to return tenfold!
An Ning ultimately did not take Xiao Jinxing's hand.
She said, "It's getting late, Your Majesty should rest early. Tomorrow there's the morning court session."
Such an obvious rejection.
Xiao Jinxing lowered his gaze.
An Ning was still resisting him.
If Luming hadn't returned to the palace today, these matters wouldn't have occurred.
