Li Mutian's actions made "Blood Purple Rose" somewhat uncomfortable. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she heard her younger brother, Han Ruobin, say...

"Sister, why don't you forgive your brother-in-law? You keep pricking me with little sticks every day, how can that compare to pricking a real person?"

My mother said this is called "the deeper the love, the more intense the hate."

"Ruobin, why did you take this out?"

When Wang Shuqing, the mother, saw the little figure in Han Ruobin's hand, her face turned deathly pale. This was witchcraft, and it could lead to the death of the Dragon King!

"Witchcraft? This young lady of the Han family hates Prince Longxuan so much, no wonder she refused to agree to his marriage proposal."

"Yes! I was just moved. This young lady of the Han family is so heartless. She actually wishes for Prince Longxuan to die! Prince Longxuan must be blind to have fallen for her."

...

The people were abuzz with discussion, and the officials were also whispering amongst themselves.

"I just thought that Prince Longxuan and Princess Longxuan were deeply in love, but who knew it was just Prince Longxuan who was only enthusiastic about it, and this Princess... cough..."

"Who can argue with that? Princess Longxuan must have already seduced someone else, which is why she used this witchcraft to curse Prince Longxuan to death."

“King Longxuan must be blind to have taken a liking to such a venomous woman. In my humble opinion, she should be killed.”

“That’s right, his entire family should be executed. Right now, Prince Longxuan is the emperor of our ‘Zixiao Kingdom’ and ‘Qingyu Kingdom’. His status is extremely noble. This poisonous woman is truly unworthy of Prince Longxuan.”

...

"Miss Han, you have disappointed me greatly. I thought that after going through so much with Ah Feng, you must have a deep bond, but I never expected..."

Even the wise Prince Li Mutian spoke up, and then pulled Li Mufeng along.

"Ah Feng, since Miss Han has no interest in you, you should stop bothering her. There are so many women in the world, why hang yourself on one tree?"

She even used witchcraft to curse you, which shows she truly has no feelings for you.

"Smack..."

A sharp crack struck her son Han Ruobin's face, and Wang Shuqing was heartbroken.

"Ruobin, are you planning to have my entire Han family executed? How could you present this doll made by your sister to Prince Longxuan, especially in front of so many people?"

"I...I..."

Han Ruobin glanced back at the crowd, truly regretting listening to that person's words. The Dragon King in front of him had a livid face, as if he were ready to devour someone at any moment. He realized that he had probably made a mistake in this move.

"It was me, I did it, it's not my sister's fault."

Brother-in-law, please don't be angry with my sister. I had someone do it. If you want to kill someone, kill me instead. I'll kowtow to you and beg you not to implicate my sister and mother, okay?

Han Ruobin kowtowed desperately, but "Blood Purple Rose" pulled him up.

"That's right, I did sew it myself. I hate you. I hate that you tried to kill me several times because of Zhou Fengyun's instigation."

I hate you for believing Chen'er's lies and trying to kill me several times.

We finally cleared up the misunderstanding, and then you forced a broken jade pendant on me, putting me in danger again. I narrowly escaped death several times, only to find out in the end it was all a misunderstanding. Am I wrong to hate you?

I just want you dead, I…

"Blood Purple Rose" was in tears of grievance. Li Mufeng pulled her into his arms and then lowered his head to kiss the vicious words she hadn't yet uttered.

"Mmm~"

Li Mufeng fiercely captured "Xue Ziwei's" lips, kissing them intensely. "Xue Ziwei" tried to push him away several times, but Li Mufeng held her tightly in his arms. Only when he felt her lips were swollen and red did he reluctantly release her, then his deep voice commanded...

"Wang Feng, bring the little doll from Ruobin's hand over so I can take a look."

Everyone was stunned by the sizzling heat before them, their mouths agape. It took Wang Feng a moment to react.

"Your Highness..."

Taking the doll from Han Ruobin, Li Mufeng examined it closely. The doll was only the size of a palm, yet it was embroidered with remarkable realism. Li Mufeng held the doll high, a look of pride on his face.

"Look everyone, my princess is so skillful. She has embroidered me so vividly. It shows how much she misses me."

As Lady Wang said, the Princess's love runs deep, and so does her hatred; that's why she used needles to prick me. I am honored to be hated by the Princess.

"Cough cough..."

Everyone was speechless at Li Mufeng's words. "Xue Ziwei" was also moved. He had interpreted a crime punishable by the execution of the entire family in such a way.

"Li Mufeng, you..."

"If I could die under your curse, I would be willing. You used to hate me for not trusting you, but from today onwards, I am willing to give my life to you. Even if it means death, I am willing to believe in you."

Li Mufeng spoke tenderly, and applause erupted from all around.

"Marry him, marry Prince Longxuan, marry Prince Longxuan..."

The common people and officials were once again in uproar, while a beggar nearby silently walked away.

"Ziwei, I am sorry for what I did. This test shows that Prince Longxuan has truly treated you well. I am relieved."

"Ziwei, are you willing to trust me one more time?"

Li Mufeng reached out his hand to "Xue Ziwei," and this time "Xue Ziwei" took the initiative to kiss Li Mufeng.

Just as everyone was cheering for the ending, a gasp came from outside the crowd.

"Sister, Father has fallen into the water."

It was the voice of his younger brother, Han Ruobin. He had somehow slipped out of the crowd.

Upon hearing this, "Blood Purple Rose" hurriedly pushed Li Mufeng away and ran outside.

"Ignore him, he's a heartless bastard."

Wang Shuqing still gritted her teeth in hatred.

The younger brother, Han Ruobin, choked up as he spoke.

"Waaah... Mother, please don't say that about Father. He already knows he was wrong. Waaah... The doll just now was the one he asked me to bring out. He said the biggest conflict between my sister and brother-in-law is the lack of trust."

If my brother-in-law can overcome the "witchcraft" test, my sister can entrust her life to King Longxuan again. Otherwise, he will protect us with his life. In short, we will be safe.

Father… sob… he actually knew he was wrong a long time ago.”

Upon hearing Han Ruobin's words, everyone realized that Prime Minister Han Bingmo had not actually gone mad during this time; he was merely feigning madness because he was unable to face his wife and daughters.

"Father, Father..."

"Blood Purple Rose" desperately pressed on Han Bingmo's stomach, trying to save him, but found that he had been drowning for too long and was beyond saving.

"Young Miss, this is from the Prime Minister who asked me to give it to you."

"Blood Purple Rose" opened the book with trembling hands. Inside was Han Bingmo's confession about his past actions and his guilt towards Wang Shuqing.

"Blood Purple Rose" handed the letter to Wang Shuqing. After reading it, Wang Shuqing kicked Han Bingmo twice.

"You bastard, why didn't you apologize to my face? What kind of nonsense is it if you just died? Waaah..."

After all, they had once loved each other, and Wang Shuqing hugged Han Bingmo and wept bitterly.

Because Han Bing finally realized his mistake and returned to the right path, the funeral was still quite grand.

Three years later, Li Mufeng and "Blood Purple Rose" ascended to the supreme throne together.

In fact, the ministers had long been urging Li Mufeng to ascend the throne, but he insisted on waiting until "Blood Purple Rose" finished her mourning period. He felt that it was lonely at the top and that if no one was there to accompany him, he would rather the position remain empty.
