General Bai's face was as white as paper, completely devoid of color.

He was acutely aware that he was now in a desperate situation, and no matter which path he chose, death was all that awaited him.

However, Rong Ning's firm and resolute gaze told him that the second path might be wiser.

He had long foreseen that once the truth came out, he would fall into an abyss.

However, his family is innocent and should not be implicated.

He reached out his hand, trembling, his heart filled with pain and struggle.

After a long period of torment, he finally took the paper and pen and began to write with great effort.

Each word felt like a heavy stone, pressing down on his heart.

He knew perfectly well that these words were undeniable crimes, and that any one of them would cause a huge uproar in the court.

Moreover, it also included serious charges such as "treason and collusion with the enemy".

Rong Ning watched quietly from the side, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

She understood that this struggle was just the beginning, far from over. But she also knew that she had taken a solid step forward.

She believed that as long as she persisted, one day she would be able to completely eradicate these corrupt and lawless individuals and restore a clear sky to the north.

As General Bai finished writing, the entire study fell into a deathly silence.

It was as if time had stopped flowing, and everything was frozen in this moment.

"Your Highness, please take a look. I have completed the task you assigned me."

The indictment has been written, listing all the crimes without omission.

After General Bai finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, seemingly trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

He knew what kind of storm this indictment would unleash once it was submitted.

As one of the participants and the one who exposed everything, he had no chance of surviving.

"I have done my utmost to fulfill Your Highness's requests, and I urge Your Highness to also fulfill the promises you made earlier."

His voice was deep and firm, revealing an unwavering determination.

"Rest assured, I understand the weight of my promise."

Rong Ning nodded slightly, indicating her trust in General Bai. She took the indictment, carefully reviewed it, and confirmed that every charge was irrefutable evidence.

She then carefully put away the indictment, a resolute glint in her eyes. This was a heavy responsibility, and also a pursuit of justice.

"This indictment will be a powerful weapon for us to bring those people down. But before that, we must be fully prepared."

Rong Ning spoke softly, her tone firm and calm.

She knew that the struggle ahead would be even more intense, requiring even more wisdom and courage.

"You should be careful about your words and actions recently, so as not to give others any leverage against you."

She gave the instructions, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing full well that the road ahead would not be easy.

Rong Ning looked at General Bai and said, "Don't worry, I always keep my word. Since I've promised you, I will definitely do it."

After saying that, she gave You Jiang a subtle wink, and You Jiang immediately understood. He quickly stepped forward, drew a sharp sword from his waist, and threw it in front of General Bai without hesitation.

“Do it yourself. This is punishment for your crimes and an explanation to the innocent people you have imprisoned.”

Her voice was cold and resolute, like the biting wind of winter, piercing and merciless.

General Bai's hand trembled as he slowly reached for the sword.

His face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips trembled slightly.

His eyes were filled with struggle and resentment, but in the end he still gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

The cold light reflected from the sword revealed his complex inner world.

He looked up at her, his eyes filled with both anger and helplessness, but in the end, it all turned into a deep sigh.

"Your Highness... is there really no other choice?"

General Bai's voice was hoarse, tinged with resentment and despair.

He knew that he could no longer escape the arrangements of fate and could only accept this cruel reality.

She looked at him coldly, her heart unmoved.

She had no pity for such a heinous person.

Their past actions had already chilled her to the bone. Now, it was their turn to pay the price for their crimes.

She did not answer directly, but stood there quietly, her gaze firm and profound, as if she could see through all falsehood and pretense.

Her silence was more powerful than any words, forcing General Bai to confront his impending fate.

"Very well... Your Majesty understands."

General Bai spoke with a deathly pale face, as if all his life force had been drained away. He used all his strength to raise the sword high, the tip pointing straight at his chest.

His hands trembled slightly, as if even gripping the hilt of the sword was difficult, but he still held it firmly.

"Since we made a mistake, we should bear the consequences. It's also an explanation to those innocent people."

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep self-blame and regret.

After saying this, he suddenly swung his sword, the sword light flashing like lightning, slicing through the sky and breaking the shackles in his heart.

Blood instantly stained his clothes, like blooming flowers, vivid yet tragically beautiful.

His eyes shone with a sense of relief and liberation, as if he had finally broken free from a heavy burden.
