Lu Jingxing looked down coldly at the kneeling court officials and said, "It is true that I once divorced Wanyun.
However, it was not as Widow Song claimed, where she said Wanyun was the one who gave me the writ of divorce.
The truth is, I was unsure of what the future held upon my return to Chang'an. I didn't know if I could defeat the Mu Family traitors, and I didn't want to implicate my wife. That is why I had her write the writ of divorce.
Widow Song only knew half the story, not the reasons behind it, and foolishly tried to use this to threaten Wanyun. The divorce is not Wanyun's fault."
The Marquis of Qi Bei clasped his hands in a salute. "Your Majesty, even if Miss Rong cannot be blamed for the divorce, the fact remains that you are divorced. Given her status as the daughter of a disgraced official, she is truly unfit to be Empress…"
"Since when did I become a disgraced official?"
