"Oh! Your Highness, it's quite lively here!"

As soon as Wang Feng entered the Prime Minister's residence, he clicked his tongue twice.

"This servant greets Prince Longxuan."

"This servant greets Prince Longxuan."

...

Upon hearing that Prince Longxuan had arrived, the crowd dared not rob the jewels any longer and bowed to him in respect.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, and the strong smell of blood, Li Mufeng frowned and pinched his nose.

"Prime Minister Han, what's going on at your residence? Has it been burgled?"

"It's all because of that rebellious daughter. She killed many people in my household. Your Highness, now that you're here, you must handle this matter impartially and send this rebellious daughter to the Dali Temple to be punished according to the law."

With trembling hands, Prime Minister Han Bingmo pointed at "Xue Ziwei," his teeth clenched in hatred. If the guards hadn't been so useless, he would have loved to personally shave her.

"Did you kill all of these people?"

A flash of astonishment crossed Li Mufeng's eyes. He pointed to the corpses scattered on the ground and asked "Xue Ziwei" in a calm voice.

"Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow, about to answer, but Han Ruyi beat her to it.

"Your Highness! Waaah... You must do justice for me! My sister came back today, and I don't know what went wrong. As soon as she came in, she started killing people like crazy. Look, she killed all these people."

And...and also, he instructed that bastard to tear up the imperial edict given to me by the Emperor, and he also made that bastard to scatter the betrothal gifts that the Prince gave me, and instigated the servants to steal them. Your Highness, you must teach that bitch Han Ziwei a lesson for me, sob sob..."

The cold, pear blossoms, like Han Ruyi, were wet with rain; I felt a pang of pity for her.

Since the Dragon King has proposed to her, it means he has long harbored feelings for her and will definitely protect her. Today, she will make that bitch "Han Ruyi" pay a terrible price.

"Ruyi, don't talk nonsense. How can you let others know that your sister had an affair with an outsider and had a child out of wedlock?"

The second wife, Princess Huaiyin Mu Xue'er, seemingly reprimanded Han Ruyi, but in reality, she was adding fuel to the fire. She then took two steps forward, trying to take Li Mufeng's hand, but was stopped by Wang Feng with his sword.

“Madam, the Prince is a germaphobe; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can touch him.”

Seeing that Mu Xue'er and Han Ruyi were targeting "Xue Ziwei" so much, calling him a bastard and cursing the young prince, Wang Feng was displeased and spoke rudely in return.

"Do you know who I am? I am Princess Huaiyin, personally appointed by the imperial court. How dare you call me a nobody? Don't you want your head?"

Mu Xue'er was arrogant and haughty. Wang Feng looked her up and down and said sarcastically.

"You are Princess Huaiyin? Forgive my poor eyesight, I really didn't recognize you. If you hadn't introduced yourself, I would have thought you were a beggar!"

Wang Feng's words drew a burst of snickers from the servants.

"Shut up, everyone. Anyone who laughs again will be beaten to death."

Zhang Mama, standing beside the Second Madam Mu Xue'er, shouted angrily, and the servants dared not utter another sound.

"you……"

Just as Mu Xue'er was about to explode, Zhang Mama quickly tugged at her sleeve, forcing her to suppress her anger. Then, she raised a hypocritical face and turned to Li Mufeng.

“Feng’er! In a way, we are related by blood. The current Empress Dowager is your grandmother and my aunt. We are family after all. For the sake of the Empress Dowager, you should turn a blind eye to Ziwei giving birth to an illegitimate child.”

After all, if this matter were to be publicized, it would be a disgrace to both the Prime Minister's residence and the Prince.

"But I assure my master that you can handle this murder however you wish. Even princes are subject to the law, and Ziwei has killed so many people; we will certainly not cover it up."

Mu Xue'er appears to be speaking up for "Xue Ziwei," but in reality, she is putting her in a hopeless situation.

She wanted to use Li Mufeng to kill "Blood Purple Rose." Little did she know that the bastard she spoke of was actually Li Mufeng's adopted son.

"Sir, please say something!"

Seeing that Li Mufeng's eyes were unfathomable and he refused to speak, Mu Xue'er waved to Prime Minister Han Bingmo, trying to get some attention.

"Yes! Your Highness, do what needs to be done. This rebellious woman has killed so many people. Even if Your Highness skins her alive, I will not say anything."

Han Bingmo fawned over Mu Xue'er, but upon hearing this, the young master Li Jingchen roared in anger.

"You're such a terrible father! How can you treat your daughter like this?"

"You little brat, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know who you are. How dare you be so insolent in front of the Prince? Just wait and see how I deal with you."

Han Bingmo made a harsh statement.

"How do you plan to deal with him?"

Li Mufeng's voice was as cold as ice. Wang Feng could feel the killing intent emanating from his master, but that fool Han Bingmo didn't realize the danger. He straightened his back, looked around, and saw a fishpond nearby. He then said in a low voice...

"Someone, throw this bastard into the fishpond to feed the fish."

The words had barely left her lips when she felt a tightness in her throat, followed by a "thump," and then Han Bingmo's terrified cry for help.

"Help...help me! I can't swim! Help, help me..."

"How dare you feed my son to the fish! You've got the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard."

Li Mufeng's voice sounded like it came from hell, leaving Mu Xue'er and Han Ruyi dumbfounded.

"Son? This bastard is your son?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously, but as soon as they finished, they realized they had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered their mouths. But it was too late; Li Mufeng's face immediately darkened.

"Wang Feng, what is the punishment for insulting the Princess and the young prince?"

"Your Highness, this is a capital offense."

Wang Feng suppressed a laugh.

"Your Highness, please spare me! I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please forgive me."

Han Ruyi knelt down in terror and kowtowed desperately.

"Your Highness, didn't you ask to marry my young lady? If you beat her to death, how can you marry her?"

The maid Ye Qing explained the current situation, and Mu Xue'er nodded vigorously.

"Wind..."

Seeing the fierce look in Li Mufeng's eyes, he immediately changed his form of address.

“King Longxuan, I was wrong just now. Ignorance is no excuse. We didn’t know this child was yours, so we were abrupt.”

Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha. For the sake of the Empress Dowager, please spare me and Ruyi.

"Now that you've already betrothed Ruyi, we're all family. She'll eventually have to serve you in the Longxuan Prince's Mansion anyway. Why don't you let her serve you well and atone for her actions with her entire life? What do you think?"

“Yes! Your Highness, we are all family, so don’t be too harsh. Let the Second Miss apologize to the Princess and the Young Master. Let’s just let this matter drop.”

Granny Zhang, who was standing next to Mu Xue'er, was also kowtowing frantically.

"Father, they just tried to kill me and Mother."

Just then, Li Jingchen stumbled over, grabbed Li Mufeng's hand, and said softly.

"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding. We were just trying to scare the young master. How could we dare to really kill him!"

Mu Xue'er shook her head repeatedly. Li Mufeng looked up at "Xue Ziwei" and thought she would say something, but instead saw her turn and leave.

"Mother is angry. Father, can you please not marry this wicked woman? She's so fierce. Last night she even tried to burn Mother alive."

At this moment, Li Jingchen began to like "Xue Ziwei". He shook Li Mufeng's hand and his soft voice was full of pleading.

"Who said I was going to marry this woman?"

Li Mufeng held her in his arms and asked in return.

"Well?"

Mu Xue'er and Han Ruyi looked up in astonishment, and even Eunuch Yu was dumbfounded.

"Your Highness, that was personally ordered by the Emperor..."

"What are you going to do, Eunuch Yu?"

Li Mufeng's eyes were cold and piercing, carrying a strong warning.
