Duke Chong's Mansion, study room.
Duke Chong sat there, his expression gloomy.
The steward stood beside Duke Chong.
The door was pushed open with a squeak.
The Duchess walked in and saw Duke Chong looking cold and solemn. She glanced at the steward.
The steward shook his head.
The Duchess then said, "It seems the Emperor is determined to keep General Xie's recovery a secret, only in the Buddhist Hall for chanting and praying. Even if General Xie recovers safely, Princess Nanzhang praying for him is only appropriate, why should the Duke be concerned?"
Chanting and praying in the Buddhist Hall is indeed not a big deal, but Princess Nanzhang can't swallow this grievance.
She punished that female bandit to kneel in the Buddhist Hall, and before she even knelt for a while, the Emperor came to her rescue, and when it was Princess Nanzhang's turn, the Emperor still protected that female bandit.
