The truth of the matter has finally come to light, and Lady Fucha has been imprisoned by Lanqin.
When the Fourth Prince learned that it was Lady Fucha, he was so furious that he wanted to execute Lady Fucha and her personal maid.
Lady Nian was dissatisfied that the Fourth Prince had not executed Lady Fucha immediately, and she cried and made a scene, refusing to let it go.
"Your Highness, Lady Fucha herself admitted that she poisoned my Sheng'er. Why is Your Highness still hesitating? Shouldn't the murderer pay with his life?" Lady Nian cried until her eyes were swollen, pleadingly looking at Your Highness. Your Highness's face was ashen, barely suppressing his anger, and he seemed to have some reservations.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince remained silent, Lady Nian began to make a scene: "Your Highness, think of our Sheng'er! He's so young, with a bright future ahead of him. But that Lady Fucha is so ruthless; she actually poisoned my child to death! How can I swallow this insult? Your Highness must make a decision soon and avenge my child..."
Lady Nian was crying so hard she could barely breathe. Lanqin immediately signaled to her maid to help Lady Nian up and calm her down.
The Fourth Prince frowned deeply, his heart filled with a burning desire to execute Lady Fucha immediately to vent his hatred. However, Lady Fucha was different from Lady Liu. If he executed her now, her family would certainly not let it go easily, and if they turned against him, making too many enemies would likely bring disaster upon them.
Lanqin understood what the Fourth Master was thinking and was about to speak when she met his gaze.
Lanqin resolutely said, "Your Highness, Lady Fucha's crimes are heinous, and I share Lady Nian's opinion. She should be executed immediately to eliminate any future troubles..."
Ms. Nian turned her head in surprise to look at Lanqin, as if afraid she had misheard.
Fourth Master was taken aback by Lanqin's words, and his expression darkened: "It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just that... Lady Fucha..."
Lanqin interrupted the Fourth Prince, pleadingly saying, "Your Highness, Lady Fucha is wicked. Poisoning the prince is her first crime. Scheming to sow discord and frame others is her second. Murder to silence her is her third. These three crimes are all heinous, and Lady Fucha's death is not a pity… Your Highness, I understand your concerns, but human life is at stake. I beg Your Highness to execute Lady Fucha…"
Fourth Master's face grew even uglier, and the atmosphere in the room became oppressive and suffocating.
Looking at Lanqin's resolute gaze and Nian Shi's heartbroken expression, the Fourth Prince's mind was in turmoil. Nian Shi, standing beside him, thought of how Fucha Shi had caused the Third Prince's death and left her with numerous ailments, and she hated Fucha Shi with a burning passion. But what surprised her even more was that Lanqin would stand by her side at this moment, pleading with the Fourth Prince to punish Fucha Shi; she felt a strange sense of gratitude.
"It's getting late. We'll make a decision tomorrow. You may all leave..." Fourth Master waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Lady Nian refused: "Your Highness, Consort Niu is right, Lady Fucha's death is not a pity..."
"It's getting late now, let's make a decision tomorrow!" Fourth Prince said again. "Shilan, Hongsheng will not have died in vain, and Fucha will definitely pay for his life. Don't worry, it's just that the Fucha clan's influence in the court is very deep-rooted. We need to think it over carefully tomorrow to find a suitable opportunity to deal with her."
Lady Nian was unwilling to give up and wanted to leave, but Lanqin stopped her and shook her head: "Go back and rest. The Prince will make his own decision. I believe that the Third Prince will not have died in vain, and those who do evil will not have a good end..."
Lanqin and Lady Nian had no choice but to leave together. The Fourth Prince knew that he should execute that vile woman immediately. In fact, he had long known that Lady Fucha was wicked and had always been wary of her because of her status as a member of the Fucha clan, which was why he had not taken action. But he never expected that she would actually harm Hongsheng. Only he knew the pain in his heart.
