In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

"Leng Xihe, you are stubborn and you should bear the consequences of your wrongdoings.

You always put the blame on others, but you don’t realize that all the misfortunes you suffer come from you.”

Fang Ling's tone was calm, but her expression was somewhat serious.

"And the deaths of your mother and brother were also their own fault.

It’s not my fault or the prince’s fault at all.

So you have no right to hold a grudge against us.

Although you may not understand what I am saying.

But I have said all that needs to be said.

As for your curses, I just treat them as jokes."

After saying that, Fang Ling looked at the guards.

"Take them out."

The guard took the order and stepped forward, escorting the man out.

Leng Xihe was still yelling like crazy.

"Fang Ling, you will die a miserable death.

Even if I die, I will not let you go.

you…"

Just as she was yelling, Xia Zhu took a rag, followed her, and stuffed the whole rag directly into her mouth.

In an instant, the whole world became quiet.

Only after the guards escorted the two men away did Zhao Xueqing come back to her senses from her panic and shock.

She knelt on the ground,

"My Lord, Princess, I had no idea that the soup was poisoned.

Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to poison the prince and princess."

“Even if you didn’t know there was poison in the soup, what you did is still a capital crime.

Come, take her to the prefectural government office to await trial."

Two more guards came forward and dragged Zhao Xueqing out.

Zhao Xueqing didn't dare to yell like Leng Xihe.

She just turned around and begged for mercy.

"I know I was wrong, my lord, princess, please forgive me.

If you give me another chance, I will definitely change.

I know I was wrong. "

Zhao Xueqing was also taken away.

Zhou Ruolan knelt on the ground nervously, not knowing what to do.

"Get up."

Fang Ling looked at her and spoke in a calm tone.

"Princess, I have no idea what Zhao Xueqing did. You have to trust me."

Zhou Ruolan was still kneeling on the ground, looking nervous and scared.

“However, I am also wrong.

I failed to take good care of her.”

Fang Ling stepped forward and helped her up.

"I know, you don't have to be nervous."

Afterwards, Fang Ling asked all the servants in the room to leave.

Then, he looked at Zhou Ruolan,

"Although I cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes, I can still be more magnanimous to those who can correct their mistakes and return to the right path."

Zhou Ruolan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"I know I was wrong, and you will definitely change."

Zhao Xueqing wanted to murder the prince and princess, but she failed to discover it in time.

Although Zhao Xueqing was sent to the yamen in the end, she was cleared out of the palace as a nuisance.

But she had no credit for any of it.

So she didn't dare to hope that the princess would return her indenture contract to her and set her free.

So, after thinking about it seriously, she said with difficulty:

“Princess, from now on I will serve you wholeheartedly.

I will definitely be loyal and never have second thoughts."

Although she was sincere when she said this, it was not the result she wanted.

How could Fang Ling not hear this?

The people who serve her must not only be loyal to her but also be willing to stay by her side.

If you are unwilling to do something, you will definitely feel resentful over time.

She would not keep such a person around.

“I can return your indenture contract to you and let you leave the palace.

But you need to do one thing for the people of Yunzhou."

When Zhou Ruolan heard that she had a chance to be free, her eyes lit up instantly and she asked quickly,

"Princess, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do my best."

Fang Ling did not respond but looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu nodded and said:

"Your father, Governor Zhou, has been an official in Yunzhou for many years and has always been corrupt. Do you know this?"

When Zhou Ruolan heard this, she was so frightened that she knelt down again.

“I don’t know.

But since the prince said so, he must have conducted an investigation and has sufficient evidence.

I beg the prince to have mercy and spare my father's life."

Qin Mu did not express his opinion immediately but continued:

"The amount of money your father embezzled was not small.

If he fails to hand over the stolen money voluntarily and refuses to plead guilty, he will be sentenced to death according to the laws of Daliang.

But if he can return all the stolen money to the court and confess his guilt, the death penalty can be avoided."

Zhou Ruolan understood what was said, but she was very confused. Why did the prince say this to her in private?

With the evidence, we can just arrest the person and raid the governor's residence.

Qin Mu saw her doubts and continued:

“Of course, I can just arrest your father and raid the governor’s mansion.

In this way, the money your father embezzled can be recovered.

But I have checked and found that your father has been an official for many years. Although he has been corrupt, he has never killed anyone.

Just for this reason, I plan to give him another chance.

Furthermore, as long as Governor Zhou can take the initiative to confess his guilt and return the stolen money.

Then other corrupt officials in Yunzhou will follow suit.”

Now that things have come to this, how could Zhou Ruolan not understand?

She kowtowed and thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

Qin Mu waved his hand.

"No need to thank me.

Whether your father can confess his guilt voluntarily depends on you."

Zhou Ruolan nodded quickly.

“Please don’t worry, my lord and princess, my father loves me the most.

As long as I explain the interests to him, he will definitely understand it. "

After saying that, Zhou Ruolan stood up and bowed again.

"My Lord, Princess, just wait for my news."

Then she turned around and quickly walked out.

Ouyang Liuli waited until Zhou Ruolan walked away before she took Fang Ling's hand and asked in confusion:

"Sister, are you really going to let Zhou Ruolan go?

She sneaked into the palace to seduce your husband."

Fang Ling smiled faintly,

“I don’t want to kill them all.

Severe punishment of Zhao Xueqing would serve as a deterrent to others.

As for someone like Zhou Ruolan who knows how to stop in time, I am still willing to give her another chance.

Otherwise, we can't be sisters with different surnames, right?"

Ouyang Liuli blushed immediately after hearing this.

"Sister, I am different from Zhou Ruolan.

I was like that before... that was because of a misunderstanding many years ago.

Moreover, my sister saved my life.

As long as my sister wants something, let alone a man, even if it’s… except for my life, I can offer it with both hands. "

As she spoke, Ouyang Liuli coquettishly grabbed Fang Ling's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder.

Fang Ling reached out and tapped her forehead.

"I know you are worried about me, and I appreciate your kindness.

I know what's going on.

After Zhou Ruolan returns home, it will probably not be long before she gets married."

"It'd better be this way, otherwise this princess will keep a close eye on her."

Ouyang Liuli said angrily.
