Gui Quan knelt on the ground, nearly scared to tears.
Madam Shen got away with poisoning the Crown Princess Consort, which clearly shows her importance in the Crown Prince's eyes. As a mere servant, what could he possibly do? Could he really dare to command someone to tie up Madam Shen?!
The Crown Prince and Madam Shen quarrel, but it's the servants who suffer. Though the Eastern Palace pays well, not a single coin comes easily!
Gui Quan could only force a flattering smile: "Madam Shen only poisoned the Crown Princess Consort out of deep affection for His Highness. After all, she's just an eighteen-year-old girl, inexperienced with the ways of the world, innocent and naive. How could she fully understand right from wrong? It might be better for Your Highness not to be angry."
