Chapter 18 Su Liluo, do you plead guilty?

"What happened?"

Soon, a sharp, authoritative voice carrying the air of a superior rang out.

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately turned around and knelt down, "Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine!"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has broken the vase that His Majesty bestowed upon you!"

"Oh? This is outrageous! Crown Princess, do you plead guilty?"

Consort Liu narrowed her cold eyes and entered, supported by two palace maids. She immediately confronted Su Liluo, demanding an explanation.

Su Liluo then looked at Consort Liu seriously.

She was dressed in a deep purple palace gown embroidered with phoenixes and peonies, and wore a headdress inlaid with rubies, gold beads, and jade.

She has fair skin and delicate features.

Especially her thick eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, with not a trace of time visible under the corners of her eyes.

It's clear that she takes very good care of herself.

Compared to the Empress she had met last time, this Consort Liu looked more than ten years younger than her.

Su Liluo stood up without being humble or arrogant, and bowed to Consort Liu in greeting.

"Your Highness, I admit I was wrong to deliberately break the vase, and I apologize for that."

"you?"

Consort Liu was stunned.

How could she admit her mistake so easily?

She had prepared a whole list of things she would say if her daughter talked back, but now she didn't need them at all.

Does she think that if she's nicer, she'll let her off the hook?

Hmph, this must be a pipe dream!

"Very well, since you have admitted your mistake, then I will punish you according to the rules. Guards—"

Consort Liu smiled coldly, about to order someone to drag Su Liluo away and give her dozens of lashes.

But Su Liluo suddenly interrupted her.

"Your Majesty, you can't punish me! Although I was wrong to break the vase, I did it for your own good. If you hit me, it would be repaying kindness with enmity! It would be bad for your reputation if word got out!"
