Looking at the guards who surrounded her, "Blood Purple Rose's" star-like eyes instantly turned fierce.
"Father, what are you doing?"
“You wicked daughter, you poisoned your mother and harmed your sister. How could I have given birth to such a wicked daughter? Hand over the antidote now, kneel before your sister and mother, kowtow and admit your mistakes, or I will not spare you.”
As soon as Han Bing arrived, he straightened his back, as if he had bestowed a great favor upon "Blood Purple Rose".
The guards on the rooftop and in the courtyard all pointed their arrows at "Blood Purple Rose," as if a single word from Han Bingmo would turn her into a hedgehog.
"Father, are you getting senile? My mother is standing right here, when did I poison her?"
"Speaking of my mother's injuries, it's all thanks to my father. You haven't come here today to apologize to my mother, have you?"
"Blood Purple Rose" deliberately misinterpreted Han Bing's intentions and pointed at the heroine's mother, Wang Shuqing.
"you……"
Upon hearing "Blood Purple Rose's" words, Han Bingmo was about to say something when she heard her continue...
"As for Han Ruyi, she brought it all on herself. If she hadn't provoked me, I naturally wouldn't have provoked her either."
"Ruyi was just disciplining a servant. Did you have to beat her so viciously? She's your own sister."
The Prime Minister, Han Bingmo, was furious beyond redemption. Upon hearing this, Wu An hurriedly stepped forward.
"Your Excellency, the fault lies entirely with this old servant. I will apologize to the Second Miss. Please, for the sake of the Eldest Miss who is also of your blood, do not hold it against her. Let us resolve this matter by making a small matter a small one!"
Han Bingmo had brought too many people, and they were all carrying bows and arrows. Wu An was afraid that "Blood Purple Rose" would suffer a loss, so he knelt down with a thud.
“Spare her? She hit Ruyi, the child of the Second Madam and Princess Huaiyin. Her maternal grandfather is the Prince of Jingnan. I will not offend the Prince of Jingnan for the sake of this wretched daughter. She made the trouble herself, so she has to clean up the mess.”
Han Bingmo finished speaking and pointed at Wu'an.
"It's you again, you lowly slave! Years ago you embezzled my Prime Minister's mansion's silver, and now you've instigated the eldest young lady to beat the second young lady. You truly deserve to die."
"Master, I'm innocent! This old servant has never embezzled a single penny from the Prime Minister's mansion. Someone is framing this old servant."
"And this old servant didn't instigate the eldest young lady to beat the second young lady either, yes...yes..."
Wu An glanced at the "Blood Purple Rose," gritted his teeth,
"Yes, it was this old servant who instigated it. This old servant deserves to die. Please, Your Excellency, hand this old servant over to the Second Miss and Second Madam for their judgment."
This old servant is willing to let them deal with him as they see fit; I beg Your Excellency not to pursue the matter against the young lady.
The young lady has been so good to me; I can't let anything happen to her.
Wu An was prepared to die, wanting to shield "Blood Purple Rose" from all the blame.
"Waaah... Master, please don't! Wu'an has served in the Prime Minister's residence for many years. Even if he hasn't made any great contributions, he has certainly worked hard. Even if Wu'an has made a mistake, please, for my sake, be lenient with him! Waaah..."
Wang Shuqing knelt down tremblingly, and her maids Caiyun and Hongxia also knelt down.
"Please, sir, spare the young lady, spare Wu'an."
"Father, please forgive my sister! If my second sister hadn't hit Uncle Wu, my eldest sister wouldn't have punished her. In the end, my second sister was in the wrong first, wasn't she?"
Han Ruobin's slightly immature voice attempted to reason with his father, but he received only a resolute reply from Han Bingmo.
"Impossible. Today, not only will Wu'an die, but I will also take you, you rebellious daughter, with me. Whether you live or die depends on whether your sister and your mother forgive you."
"So, my life and death are now in the hands of a concubine and a concubine's daughter?"
"Blood Purple Rose" narrowed her eyes slightly, Han Bingmo was quite dissatisfied.
"What concubine, what illegitimate daughter? Princess Huaiyin is my equal wife."
"Even a concubine is a secondary wife. It's impossible for me, the legitimate daughter, to apologize to a concubine."
"Blood Purple Rose" resolutely refused, then helped Wang Shuqing up with both hands.
"Mother, get up! This foolish man is not worth your kneeling."
"And you all, stand up for me too. Don't beg this heartless man, he doesn't deserve it."
"Blood Purple Rose" refers to Wu An, Caiyun, and others.
"You wretched girl! Since you are so unrepentant, then your father has no choice but to punish you for the greater good."
Han Bingmo waved his hand, and all the guards were about to make their move when they heard "Blood Purple Rose" shout.
"Wait a minute."
Hearing "Blood Purple Rose" call to stop, Han Bingmo raised his hand.
“Kill me! If Father kills me, your concubine will not survive either. As Father said, she is Princess Huaiyin. If she dies in this mansion, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Prince of Jingnan will spare you.”
"Blood Purple Rose" spoke in a clear and beautiful voice, revealing the stakes involved.
"It really was you. I knew it was you, you wretched girl, who did this."
Han Bingmo angrily pointed at "Xue Ziwei," but was shoved aside.
"You may not know, but I hate it most when people point fingers at me. I'm letting you off the hook because you're my father. If it happens again, I'll take your arm."
"Okay, very good."
Han Bingmo was absolutely furious. His once timid and submissive daughter had suddenly become so assertive that she even dared to threaten him. He nodded forcefully and pointed at her.
"Seize this wretched girl and beat her severely until she hands over the antidote."
Staring at the hand pointing at her again, a flash of ruthlessness crossed "Blood Purple Rose's" eyes. Just as she was about to break the hand, several screams came from above, followed by thuds as several corpses appeared at their feet, accompanied by an eerie, chilling voice.
"Who dares to touch my woman? Do they think my Longxuan Royal Palace has no one to rely on?"
A demonic figure descended from the sky, and after a series of orderly steps, the guards of the Dragon King surrounded the entire Prime Minister's residence.
Looking at the newcomer, "Blood Purple Rose" was filled with surprise.
"Why is he here?"
“Dragon…King Longxuan.”
"Wasn't it said that Prince Longxuan was about to die? Why is he standing here perfectly fine?"
The crowd whispered among themselves.
"What, you're disappointed that I'm not dead?"
Li Mufeng's voice was as cold as ice, and everyone knelt down, their heads bowed low.
"This servant dares not."
"This servant dares not."
...
"Prime Minister, are you planning to kill my Queen by making such a big fuss?"
Seeing that everyone had knelt down, Li Mufeng walked straight to "Xue Ziwei", pulled her into his arms, and questioned Prime Minister Han Bingmo in a stern voice.
"This humble official dares not. This humble official only wanted to teach this wretched girl a lesson. Your Highness has just arrived and may not know this."
This wretched girl is vicious. After escaping from the Prince's mansion, she not only poisoned Princess Huaiyin but also beat my youngest daughter. I was afraid that if she entered the Prince's mansion in the future, she would cause unnecessary trouble for the Prince, so I planned to take her down and reprimand her.
Seeing Li Mufeng protecting Han Ziwei so much, Han Bingmo had no choice but to downplay the matter.
"Waaah... Husband, you've finally come! Father has wronged me, saying I poisoned Mother. It's all baseless! You must stand up for me! Waaah..."
And as for my return to the manor, I told the Prince that my mother had been flogged, and I was worried about her, so I wanted to come back to see her. How did it become an act of eloping in my father's mouth? Waaah... My husband, you must stand up for me!
Seeing that Li Mufeng had stood up for her, "Blood Purple Rose" suppressed her cold aura, choked back tears, and began to play the role of a weak and innocent white lotus.
Li Mufeng's lips twitched.
"This woman clearly drugged me and escaped back here, yet she's still pretending."
Nevertheless, Li Mufeng still decided to protect his own. After all, Prime Minister Han Bingmo was a man of the King of Lin. He had thought that Han Ziwei was going to marry into his mansion to keep an eye on him, but now that he saw the Prime Minister was about to kill her, and that she had saved him last night, he figured there must be something else going on.
"Your Excellency, Ziwei is not only your daughter, but also my princess consort. She is a member of the royal family and is listed in the royal register. What is the punishment for slandering a member of the royal family?"
Li Jingfeng's voice was cold and eerie, as if it came from hell.
