Upon hearing the syrupy sweet voice of Noble Princess Consort Rong, Empress Xie and Princess Consort De both felt nauseated. Disdain crossed their eyes.
Empress Xie and Princess Consort De respectfully paid their regards to the emperor, "Your Majesty."
"You may rise." The emperor looked at Empress Xie and Princess Consort De, asking, "Are you here to plead for them as well?"
Empress Xie and Princess Consort De nodded lightly.
"You must know why they were captured."
"Cousin, wasn't it just for buying some Divine Pills? Was it necessary to arrest them all?" Noble Princess Consort Rong tugged at the emperor's sleeve, gently shaking it, "Cousin, this isn't a matter of murder or arson; why arrest them? I heard the prison at the Imperial Court of Judicial Review is quite terrifying, my brother surely can't bear it inside."
The emperor glanced at the three of them, "Have any of you taken the Divine Pill?"
