Princess Yongning said furiously, "I insist on making him so miserable that he can't escape the consequences!"
"But he won't admit it," said Mei Xiang, "He refuses to confess to harming the young emperor, and besides, in the eyes of others, he truly has no reason to kill his own child."
"So it ends if he doesn't confess?" Princess Yongning replied, "Isn't he engaging in such villainy in his own residence? It's about time the whole world saw the true face of Eldest Young Master Li. Even if I can't prove he murdered my child, at the very least, I can choose to divorce him. And in doing so, let the people see what kind of monstrous beast Emperor Hongxiao matched me with, and what his intentions were?"
