"For example, the reason why the more you like someone, the more you feel disgusted and resentful after being poisoned by the Love Gu. On the contrary, when you only have a slight affection for someone, the Love Gu is almost ineffective. Perhaps it is because no matter whether you are a man or a woman, when facing your loved one, your emotions will definitely fluctuate. The more you like someone, the greater the emotional fluctuations will be. The Love Gu must be judging based on this."

Li Yue paused, and felt more and more that his idea was correct, and then continued, "When people drink too much, their minds are not clear, and some can't even tell who is in front of them. Naturally, they don't have emotional fluctuations towards their loved ones, so this affects the judgment of the insect."

After he finished speaking, he looked upward cautiously, then quickly lowered his head.

Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and stood quietly, his expression calm. After thinking for a few breaths, he said, "I know, you can get up now."

Li Yue stood up as he was told and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, does the 'Deadwood Vine' want to..."

"I will send someone else to search for 'Deadwood Vine' in Miaojiang," Xiao Junzhan said, "Your first priority now is to save Liu Bosheng's life. As for the rest of the Liu family..."

At this point, his voice was a little chilly: "Tomorrow at noon, the third generation of the Liu family will be beheaded first. Ask Liu Wanning to go and watch the execution."

Liu Bosheng is still alive, so the third generation is Prince Liu and Liu Wanning's brothers and sisters.

Hearing this, Li Yue didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression was slightly stunned. Xiao Junzhan glanced at him and said, "My dear, do you think there is something wrong?"

Li Yue bowed and said, "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. This humble minister has no such intention."

Now no one in the capital would doubt that the Liu family was doomed to die, so why would he plead for the Liu family?

He explained: "It's just that I remember that last year, my mother wanted to marry my nephew to the second daughter of the Liu family, but..."

However, the Liu family declined the marriage proposal on the grounds that their eldest daughter was still unmarried.

Speaking of which, there are many girls of the third generation of the Liu family who have reached the age of marriage, but all of them have not yet married because of this eldest daughter. Now, they are going to be executed because the eldest son has committed a crime.

After all, whether the three Yi tribes include the husband's family of a daughter who marries out has no specific standard in any dynasty, and it is entirely decided by the will of those in power.

Since the founding of the Daling Dynasty, officials from the three tribes who were exterminated have been extremely rare, and there are few precedents to follow.

Li Yue would not feel sorry for Liu's unmarried daughter, and Xiao Junzhan would be even less likely to do so. However, this remark did remind him that the Liu family had been prosperous for hundreds of years and had many in-laws.

Thinking of this, Xiao Junzhan's eyes turned cold and he ordered: "All the married women of the Liu family should be arrested and thrown into the Sky Prison to await punishment."

"promise!"

Li Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least Liu's husband's family and descendants were not implicated. Otherwise, the situation of the aristocratic families in the capital would probably have to be reshuffled.

…………

When Wei Hanzhang heard that a group of Liu family members were going to be executed tomorrow, she was talking to her cousin in Jiang Zhixue's yard. She was slightly stunned when she heard the words. She didn't expect the punishment to come so quickly.

After all, it was the title of Duke, and she thought that the case would have to go through a three-court trial and a decision would only be made after all the facts were checked.

It was only the second day after I returned to Beijing that the imperial edict came down.

I am suffering from laziness. I will try to cure this disease tomorrow...
