The princess sneered, "You are her biological mother, you don't know what she usually does, why are you pretending to be a traitor now?"

She glanced at King Annan, stood up and raised her chin slightly, "Your Majesty, please say something."

King Annan swept his eyes over the people present. Wu Caixue knelt straight and said righteously, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be tolerated. It is my fault for not teaching my daughter well. I am willing to be punished together with Ruse."

Rong Rushe was beaten to the ground and it took her a long time to get up. She knelt beside Wu Caixue like a quail with her face red and swollen as she cried, "I know I was wrong. I beg my father to punish me. I beg my sister—"

"I don't blame you." Rong Heqing's words successfully choked her.

Rong Rushe looked at her blankly, the words he had prepared with great difficulty were stuck in his throat.

There was also a hint of surprise in King Annan's eyes.

The princess frowned in confusion, "Qing'er, you have been wronged, you should be angry, there is no need to be so magnanimous."

"Mother, I am really not angry, and I don't blame her." Rong Heqing sighed, looking lonely, and covered her face with a handkerchief, revealing only a pair of red eyes. "I don't blame Mr. Cui either. In the past ten years, I was stupid and foolish, but Mr. Cui was a famous talent. He was tied to my daughter because of a marriage contract. How wronged was he? On the other hand, my sister is gentle, considerate and well-read. They are a perfect match made in heaven."

Rong Heqing lifted her skirt, knelt down and said to King Annan: "Mother, Father, please help my sister and Master Cui get together."

Her tone was sincere and her eyes were clear, making it hard to refuse.

King Annan and the Queen looked at each other.

Rong Ji and Concubine Lu on the side exchanged glances quickly, both of them were a little confused.

He seems to have recovered, but why is it that he still acts a little silly?

[Host, what are you doing? ]

[Use magic to defeat magic.] Ronghe Qing poked secretly: [They took turns to perform the mother and daughter's self-torture scheme to sacrifice their own family for the sake of justice, as if I can't do it. Isn't it just pretending to be pitiful? Who can't do it?

Besides, Cui is a pure scumbag who has no sense of propriety and shame. No matter how nice he talks now, he will change his mind sooner or later after marriage. Rong Russe may not like him that much. She just can't stand me, a fool, always suppressing her, so she likes to snatch everything from me. If I help her, she will feel uncomfortable. 】

999 suddenly realized and said admiringly: [It has to be you. 】

Rong Heqing: [These two scumbags are a pair, so they don’t have to harm others. I have done a great deed. ]

As soon as he finished speaking, the system panel made a sound. He pulled down 999 and saw that the 0 behind Rong Heqing's merit value suddenly jumped to 1.

999: [? ? ? ]

Is this okay? !

Rong Heqing also saw it and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

She quickly pinched her thigh to cover her eyes with her long sleeves, and her eyes, which had been dry, became moist again.

999: ...

It wondered why the host started crying as soon as he told it to, and it turned out that it was caused by being pinched.

The princess wanted to say something but stopped herself. In the end, she had no choice but to sit back in the armchair, holding her forehead with one hand. "Your Highness, you make the decision. Anyway, Cui Er and He Qing's marriage must be cancelled. There is no room for negotiation. The Cui family must come to apologize, otherwise I will not be able to swallow this anger."

Before Wu Caixue could say anything, King Annan leaned over and personally helped Rong Heqing.

Her eyes widened immediately.

Rong Heqing was also confused, "Father?"

"Get up." King Annan sighed almost inaudibly, patted her shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Rong Heqing immediately lowered his head and wiped away the tears that didn't exist at all.

King Annan flicked his sleeves, glared at Wu Caixue, and said coldly, "You are a bad parent. You deserve to be punished."

"Someone come here--" He gave an order, and the old women and maids who were guarding outside came in.

"Fine Wu Shi for one year's salary, and confine him to his home for three months. Reduce his allowance by half. Take him away!"

The light in Wu Caixue's eyes dimmed immediately, but she did not defend herself and allowed the old woman to pull her up.

"The marriage between Heqing and Cui is hereby annulled." King Annan looked at Rong Rushe with disappointment and said sternly, "Since you have secretly decided to spend your life with him, I will grant your wish. Zhou Ze——"

"My subordinate is here!"

Rong Heqing took a look and saw that Zhou Ze was a tall, dark guard, about 20 or 30 years old, and seemed to be her father's confidant.

"Go to the Cui family and tell them to come and propose marriage as soon as possible, and then return Heqing's token."

"Yes!" Zhou Ze left quickly.

Rong Rushe sat on the ground with a dazed look in his eyes.

"As for you - bring me my iron ruler -"

The old woman hurried away and brought back an iron plate that was two fingers wide and half a finger thick and presented it to the King of Annan. The King of Annan said to Rong Rushe, "Stretch out your hand."

Rong Rushe didn't dare to resist, so she gritted her teeth and raised her hands.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

The iron bars made a series of sounds of breaking through the air when they were waved, and it was frightening to hear when they fell down.

Rong Rushe's tears instantly fell, and her whole body shrank as if she had been electrocuted. Rong Heqing looked at her and couldn't help but tremble as well. Tsk, how painful it must be!

However this is just the beginning.

King Annan whipped her for a full twenty times before stopping. No one in the room made a sound. The only sound was Rong Rushe's pleas and cries of pain mixed with the chilling sound of the iron bar hitting flesh.

In the end, Rong Rushe's hands were in a state of disarray and she was almost dying.

King Annan said coldly: "Go to the Buddhist temple and kneel down for three hours before being released. No one is allowed to see her during this period. From now on, she will be confined to Meixiangyuan until she gets married!"

After saying this, he threw down the iron ruler and asked the princess, "How is it?"

The princess smiled contemptuously, "Not bad."

King Annan walked away with a gloomy face.

The farce finally came to an end.

Rong Heqing glanced at Rong Rushe, who rolled his eyes and fainted. The princess woke him up by pouring a cup of tea on him. "Don't think I can let you go just because you fainted. Three hours means three hours, not even a quarter of an hour less. If you fainted, you have to kneel again when you wake up. You can come out when you have finished kneeling."

She waved her hand and the old women immediately came forward and carried Rong Ruse.

Before leaving, she glared at Rong Heqing hatefully.

Rong Heqing blinked innocently and mouthed to her as they passed by: You deserve it.

Rong Rushe gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but the old woman touched her hand. She grimaced in pain and wailed, and was dragged away.

After her ears were quiet, the princess took Rong Heqing in her arms and comforted her for a long time. Rong Heqing listened patiently and behaved well the whole time, which made the princess feel even more distressed. She said that her daughter was so good and it was Cui Er who was blind. She would definitely find a good man in the future.

Rong Heqing thought silently: With my current precarious health, it’s hard to say how long I can live, so I’d better not bring harm to others.

[Host, don't be discouraged. Once you have eliminated the evil thoughts of King Annan and gained merit, you can extend your life. I believe you can live a long life! ]

999 is a sweet girl's voice, lovely and natural, which can soothe people's emotions very well.

Rong Heqing calmed down and thought of the most critical question: [Xiao Jiujiu, since I came here, why did the original owner only have one month left to live? ]
