All I can say is that as long as the lady is willing to back down, His Highness simply cannot resist all her pleas.
"Yes, Your Highness." Zheng Deyu ordered his subordinates to stop the execution and sign the papers, and at the same time summoned the guards to detain the group of criminals and Empress Ye and others and send them to the designated place.
The bloody storm at Yixiu Palace was brought to an abrupt halt halfway through due to Zheng Quchi's intervention.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing my life. Thank you very much, Your Highness."
The ministers who had been crying and wailing just moments before now saw that the crisis had temporarily passed and things had taken a turn for the better. They no longer had to endure the cruel torture and torment of the Crown Prince to death, and they all showed joy at being reborn. Only Empress Ye remained cold and resentful, staring intently at Yuan Xingzhou.
Yuan Chuhua glanced silently at Zheng Quchi, a look that held only a bitter smile and sorrow. He then lowered his eyes again and, embracing his frail younger brother, was escorted away.

Didn't we agree to go back to the Eight Palaces together?
Seeing his displeasure, she awkwardly said, "...Well, Your Highness is very busy with state affairs. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Zheng Quchi made up a lame excuse.
Yuan Xingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, there is something. The Ye King's bedroom and Kunning Palace were both burned down. Starting tomorrow, you will take up the post of Grand Master Craftsman and be responsible for the reconstruction of Zichen Palace and Kunning Palace."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and led his team away, leaving Zheng Quchi standing there in disbelief: "What? Grand Master Craftsman? Me?"
No, why did he suddenly appoint her to an official position? Can women hold official positions in Ye Kingdom?
Zheng Quchi expressed his surprise and shock.
