Soon, the deposed prince was sentenced to death by drinking a cup of poisoned wine.

As for the prince's party, the King of Beidi selected some ministers who had deep roots and whose interests were closely intertwined with the deposed prince and eliminated them.

Among them, Master Sun was also listed by the King of Beidi as one of the cronies of the deposed crown prince.

The King of Beidi originally planned to remove Tutor Sun from his post, find a crime to confiscate the Sun family's property and exile them.

However, due to Xiao Muzhe's plea, the King of Beidi finally dismissed Tutor Sun from his post.

However, he was spared from confiscation of property and exile.

After all, the relationship between Grand Tutor Sun and the deposed crown prince was too close.

Moreover, Tutor Sun was the teacher of the deposed crown prince.

The deposed crown prince committed regicide and patricide, so the King of Beidi was somewhat angry with him.

In the end, he was simply dismissed from his official position, which was considered a favor to Grand Tutor Sun.

Tutor Sun himself also knew this truth.

After being dismissed from his official position, he did not continue to stay in Kyoto.

He took his family back to his hometown in the countryside.

As for the second prince Xiao Cheng, after he was demoted to a commoner, he could no longer live in the imperial palace.

The King of Beidi did not confiscate all of his property because of their father-son relationship.

In the end, Xiao Cheng lived in the manor where he had previously imprisoned the ministers' families.

All the people imprisoned in that manor have been rescued by Xiao Muzhe and Qin Mu's men.

Most of those people were officials’ concubines and illegitimate children.

However, most of the people who were rescued were not able to live in the officials' mansions.

The officials did this in order not to arouse the suspicion of the King of Beidi and also to appease the anger of his wife.

Most people choose to give their mistresses a lump sum of money so that they can settle down with their children.

After that, all relations were severed.

Although the officials' way of handling the matter was a bit cruel.

But at least it can temporarily protect you from disaster.

All the officials' families were rescued, as were Cuihe and Cuimei's families.

When they were rescuing people, Leng Yu happened to arrive at the farm, ready to deal with Cuihe and Cuimei's family.

In accordance with his master's request, he prepared to strangle the man to death and then chop him into pieces to feed the dogs.

But just as he was about to take action, he was hit in the throat by a dart from the secret guard who had been lying in ambush outside. Blood splattered on the spot and he died immediately.

After the people were rescued, Xiao Muzhe arranged for them to meet Cuihe and Cuimei.

Cuihe and Cuimei were truly grateful to Xiao Muzhe and Ouyang Liuli when they saw that their family members had escaped death.

The next day, the two came to ask to see Xiao Muzhe.

Xiao Muzhe happened to be with Ouyang Liuli.

After getting permission, the two men came in and knelt on the ground together, kowtowed three times without saying anything.

“Thank you, Your Highness, Princess Liuli, for saving my life.

If it weren’t for the kindness of your two masters, our family would have died at the hands of the Second Prince.

We servants have done something wrong before, and this time we come here to thank our master and to accept the punishment."

Cuihe spoke first.

Then Cuimei continued:

“No matter how the master punishes the slave, it is justified.

The slave has committed a capital crime.

Master, you have saved our family members for us. Even if you sentence me to death right now, I will accept it with a smile."

Seeing that the two of them were speaking sincerely, Ouyang Liuli simply waved her hand.

“You were forced to do this, and it’s over.

Now that your family has returned safely, don't mention life or death anymore.

How about letting the prince ask the king for mercy and letting you leave the palace and reunite with your family?"

After hearing this, Cuihe and Cuimei could hardly believe their ears.

"Princess Liuli, we have committed a capital crime.

Moreover, we did think about staying with the Third Emperor... the Crown Prince, and competing with you for favor.

Do you really not care about the servants?"

Ouyang Liuli heard this and looked at Xiao Muze, her eyes full of confidence.

"Brother Mu Ze only loves me, and other women can't share his love.

I firmly believe this.

Look, you guys didn’t fail, did you?

If that's the case, why should I make things difficult for you?

Besides, Brother Mu Ze has a special status and is such a good man.

It is perfectly normal for a woman to be thinking about you.

If I kill any woman who wants to get close to Brother Mu Ze, what kind of person would I be?

I don't want to become a jealous and cruel woman.

Besides, this princess doesn’t want the favor that can be taken away from her.

I believe that Brother Mu Ze will not betray me. If he does, I will not just blame those women who seduced him.

I just thought I was blind, and I..."

Ouyang Liuli looked at Xiao Muzhe affectionately and expressed her thoughts very seriously.

At first, Xiao Muzhe was very moved. He looked at her with loving eyes and listened to her quietly.

But the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, when he heard Ouyang Liuli talking more and more outrageously, he quickly interrupted her.

“Liuli, you are the best woman in the world.

Not only is she kind-hearted and good-tempered, but she is also extremely beautiful. How could there be room for another woman in my eyes?

So, you don’t have to worry about that.”

Ouyang Liuli curled her lips when she heard Xiao Muze say this.

"Do you mean to say that because I'm beautiful, you won't change your mind?

What if I get old? "

Xiao Muze was stunned, then quickly added:

"No matter when, you are the most beautiful in my eyes."

"That's pretty much it."

Only then did Ouyang Liuli curl her lips and smile with satisfaction.

Cuihe and Cuimei couldn't help but laugh when they saw the interaction between Princess Liuli and Xiao Muzhe.

The two of them also realized how stupid they were to think they had a chance to seduce the third prince.

The Third Prince...

No, he is the crown prince now.

The Crown Prince and Princess Liuli are a perfect match.

No one can separate them.

It was such a blessing to see them so harmonious, their eyes full of each other!

Ouyang Liuli saw Cuihe and Cuimei still kneeling, and raised her hand.

“You two get up.

In short, neither the prince nor this princess wants your lives.

However, the prince’s previous promise to arrange a good place for you and prepare a dowry for you when you leave the palace is no longer fulfilled.

Because you rejected it.

Sometimes you only get one chance, and if you miss it, it’s gone.”

Cuihe and Cuimei stood up, looking ashamed.

How dare they ask for a good place to stay arranged for them?

The greatest blessing they have received is that they are alive and can be reunited with their families.

"I dare not have any wishful thinking."

Cuihe lowered her head and said in shame.

"I dare not do that either."

Cuimei whispered.

Finally, Cuihe and Cuimei were released from the palace.

Ouyang Liuli did this not only because she was soft-hearted, but also because she didn't want the emotional memories between her and her brother Mu Ze to be stained with blood.
