When King Xiao heard what he said, he was so angry that he wanted to chop him. "How dare you ask Mu'er to save you? How can you say such a thing?"
"Get out! Take him out to me quickly."
Ruan Qichuan stared at Prince Qing, his eyes as cold as a frozen pond. When Prince Qing was pulled out and met Ruan Qichuan's gaze, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
"And you, come and take all these traitors away to me. And Prime Minister Su, according to the laws of the country, behead them in public in the West Market in three days!" The emperor glanced at the officials on the ground and shouted.
The officials were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground and were dragged away by the soldiers who came in.
Ruan Ruan stared outside the hall and said, "All the bad guys have been arrested. Now I can wait for my godfather and godmother to come back!"
"The matter has been resolved, and it's time for us to go home. As for the finishing work, I have handed it over to Ning Yu." Ruan Qichuan said.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period." The emperor glanced at Ruan Qichuan and the others, coughed lightly and spoke.
"I will send someone to take you back to Prince Xiao's Mansion."
Ruan Qichuan: "Your Majesty, there is no need to bother. We brought the vase with us when we came."
"If Your Majesty has other matters in the future, you can ask Ruanruan to tell us that we will always come over until Mu'er's leg is healed."
Emperor: “Okay…”
Ruanruan: "Grandpa, Grandpa Emperor, I'm going home now. See you in a few days. Bye!"
The third and fourth sons of the Xiao family said: "Ruanruan, I...we want to go too."
Ruanruan: “Great!”
At night, in the prison of the Northern Pacification Office.
Ruan Qichuan and Xiao Ningyu walked in, passed through the dark cells, and went to the darkest and damp cell in the innermost cell.
Xiao Ningyu opened the iron door. The person inside had his hands and feet handcuffed to the wall, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were empty and lifeless, but after seeing Ruan Qichuan.
He curled his lips and smiled, "Kill me if you can!"
"Killing you would be too easy. You must pay back Mu'er a hundred times or a thousand times for the pain she has experienced." Ruan Qichuan took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket.
He pinched Prince Qing's chin and forced the medicine into his mouth.
"Cough cough cough! What...what did you give me to drink?" Prince Qing coughed violently, trying to spit it out.
"It's nothing, just a large dose of purple bamboo grass." Ruan Qichuan said.
"What?" Prince Qing's eyes were bloodshot and he was vomiting madly, but he couldn't spit out anything.
Ruan Qichuan turned and walked out, turning his head to Xiao Ningyu and said, "From now on, have someone give him the medicine once a day."
"Ahhh! Ruan Qichuan, come back here, or kill me if you have the guts." Prince Qing's angry voice rang out.
After a while, Prince Qing's screams were heard from the dark cell.
He yelled at the opposite wall like a madman, "Don't... don't come over here, Zhenguogong, it's not me who killed you, it's not me..."
Prince Qing banged his head against the wall behind him. His eyes were dull, but suddenly brightened. He looked at the wall with tears in his eyes, "Mu'er, Mu'er, you're here. I was wrong. Please let me go... I'm sorry..."
The jailer outside the cell shook his head and sighed at the situation, "It seems that Prince Qing is really crazy!"
"But it's what he deserves."
"He killed the loyal Duke who defended his country." The person next to him said again.
"I heard that His Majesty issued a letter of apology, intending to abdicate the throne upon the return of Prince Jin, but was persuaded by the ministers."
"But then again, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is a man of great stature and talent. No matter how hard Prince Qing tries, he will never be able to defeat him!"
Prince Qing lowered his head, his eyes were dull and stupid, and he was muttering something.
——
A month later, the gates of Bianjing City were opened and a group of people slowly walked in.
In a roadside teahouse, several men sat drinking tea and chatting: "I heard that when the Turks attacked the city, there was a deafening roar outside the city!"
"That's right, the fire was blazing everywhere. I thought someone was struck by lightning and was punished by God."
"I think it was the Turkic siege that caused God to be angry and send down thunder and fire. I heard that the 300,000-strong Turkic army was reduced to only 30,000 soldiers after being struck by thunder and fire from the sky, and they fled in all directions!"
"Our Gan Nation must be blessed by the gods. I heard that a month ago, people kept seeing things that could move quickly on the ground. Those things could even hold people, just like the legendary divine objects!"
A group of soldiers passed by them, and the leader smiled when he heard what he said. He knew that everything would be fine in Bian Jing with Ruanruan and his uncle there.
"I heard that Xiao Qingmu, the daughter of the Xiao family, is getting married today. His Majesty attaches great importance to it and wants her to marry with the ceremony of a princess." The person in the tea stall said again.
He paused when he heard this, and pulled the reins to stop the horse. He then heard someone beside him say, "Yes, I heard she's marrying into the Ruan family. She's the great man Ruan Qichuan who made great contributions during the Turkic siege."
"To commend him, His Majesty specially appointed him Duke of Enguo and granted him a mansion."
"Duke En saved the people of Bianjing and performed great deeds. He deserves to be honored!"
"Miss Xiao and Duke Enguo are truly a match made in heaven!"
"The Prince Xiao's Mansion is very lively today. Duke En even ordered people to distribute porridge for three days. They even put minced meat in the porridge. Many people went to get the porridge."
He gathered the reins in his hand and galloped towards Prince Xiao's mansion.
"Hey, General, where are you going?" the soldiers behind him spoke quickly.
"Don't follow me. Take your men back to the barracks. I'm going back to Prince Xiao's Mansion!" He rode away.
There were big red lanterns hanging at the gate of Prince Xiao’s mansion, and the gate was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
Xiao Shunan rode his horse to the door, dismounted and walked inside. The servant saw him and said, "Second Young Master, you're back?"
