Chapter 1537 - Punish Him Severely II (2/2)

The empress sneered as she continued to walk. Her steps were deliberate, and her voice was firm. “If I had not come, would Your Majesty have punished Yu’er severely?”

“Empress…” Qi Fang looked helpless. “You know me very well. This time Yu’er is indeed at fault. He bullied Feng Lianyi with his words back then, and this time, he beat Feng Lianyi and Feng Lianqing. I am doing this for General Tian Ya.”

After all, Yu’er was his most beloved son.

Even if he was arrogant and overbearing without reason, he still pampered him.

How could he bear to punish him severely?

“Really?” The empress looked intently into Qi Fang’s eyes. “So how do you want to settle this? Your Majesty, can you tell me what you plan to do with Yu’er?”

Facing the empress, Qi Fang was speechless, and he did not even know what to say for a moment.

His silence caused the empress to laugh out softly.

“If Your Majesty really wants to punish Yu’er, then punish me too.”

“Empress!” Qi Fang frowned slightly. Then, he stood up from the dragon throne. “What are you doing? You haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I punish you?”

“Yu’er is my son. He made a mistake because I have not disciplined him well.”

The empress lifted her phoenix robe a little and knelt gracefully.

She smirked and said, “Therefore, I am willing to suffer on his behalf!”

If it were not for her negligence back then, Yu’er would not have turned out like this. She had spoiled him since he was young and raised him to have such an att.i.tude.

‘Maiden Feng was right. I didn’t raise him well…’

She could not bear to let Yu’er suffer and would instead take the blame for him.
