After this commotion, Fourth Master had nowhere to vent his anger. He attributed it to the source and, in a fit of rage, decided to execute Liu.
When Liu was dragged away, she cried so hard that the sky seemed to darken, but no one sympathized with her.
The next day, Lanqin led her men to the courtyard where Liu was imprisoned. At this time, Liu's cries could no longer be heard, and everything was eerily quiet. Lanqin knew in her heart that Liu was innocent, but the Fourth Master had already given the order, so she had no choice but to order people to prepare poisoned wine and go to Liu's place in Chunhui Garden.
When Liu saw Lanqin enter, she glanced at her coldly and sat down blankly in her chair.
Lanqin couldn't bear it and sighed inwardly, saying, "Princess Liu, the Prince has specially ordered me to come and see you off. Are you ready?"
Liu suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Lanqin and saying, "The Prince will look at me? Ever since I used the child in my womb to harm you, the Prince has given up on me. Why would he care about me?"
Lanqin looked up at the scenery outside and murmured, "Now it's like this, why did you have to do it in the first place? You shouldn't have come down this path. It wasn't that the prince was heartless towards you, it's just that you were too greedy and ruined yourself..."
Liu stood up and walked to Lanqin's side, smiling as she said, "Greed? What woman in the world would be willing to share a husband with another? I wouldn't, and neither would you, Consort."
Lanqin turned her head to look at Liu Shi, shook her head and said, "Even now, you are still stubbornly clinging to your delusions. If you don't truly love the Prince, how can you expect to gain his favor..."
Liu approached Lanqin, tiptoed, and whispered in her ear, "True love? When has the Prince ever truly loved us? Only you seem to have won his heart! Don't think you can have all of his heart; his heart is already full of too much, and there probably won't be room for you in the future! I'll be waiting for you down there then... Hahahaha..."
Lanqin was startled, frowned, turned and left, leaving Liu's laughter echoing in the courtyard for a long time...
After Lanqin left, Liu laughed alone for a long time before stopping. She staggered as she picked up her wine cup and examined it for a long time. Looking back on her life, she felt it was all worthless. She slumped to the ground, muttering to herself, "Your Highness, I was wronged. Even Niohuru knew I was wronged. Why did you still order my death? Don't you have any feelings for me at all? Everything I did was for you..."
"Of course the Prince wouldn't know you weren't the murderer of Lady Liu..." A voice came from outside the door. Lady Liu turned around abruptly. Who would be here at this hour? She saw Lady Fucha, supported by Xiufang, strut in triumphantly. Lady Liu smiled contemptuously, her expression full of disgust.
Xiufang retreated to the door to wait. Lady Fucha circled Liu, surveying her for a moment before casually toying with the empty wine cup on the table. She laughed and said, "Princess Liu, the concubine is truly kind-hearted, giving you poisoned wine so you can die a quick death..." She then gripped the wine cup tightly, her face darkening as she muttered, "If it were me, I would have made you suffer a truly agonizing death, hahaha..."
Liu tried to stand up, but Fucha pressed down on her shoulders. Liu glared at Fucha and said, "What...what are you doing here? Do you think you can help me? You'll probably make me die a miserable death in the future..."
Lady Fucha shushed him with one finger, shook her head, and said with a smile, "At least I won't die without knowing I was being used..."
