Chu Qingxuan stared at Li Wen with a calm and composed gaze, and said, "Lord Li must be wondering why I am waiting for you here?"
Li Wen gritted his teeth, his disguise falling away as he was exposed. "Why?"
Chu Qingxuan slowly began to speak.
Chu Qingxuan had long known of Li Wen's rebellious intentions. This time, when Ruan Qingchen went on the expedition, she was testing Ruan Qingchen and also testing Li Wen.
Everyone knew that Chu Qingxuan had handed the Tiger Tally to Ruan Qingchen, and that Ruan Qingchen, after his great victory, had refused to return with his troops.
After Ruan Qingchen was captured, Chu Qingxuan did not believe her. After she went to the prison, Nan Yuan found her and gave her the Tiger Tally.
Nan Yuan said, "Your Majesty, the Lord's purpose has never been revenge. He just wants to find out what happened back then. As for his family, they were indeed killed by your mother."
"But the adults never intended to harm you."
At that moment, Chu Qingxuan no longer had any reservations about Ruan Qingchen.
Holding the tiger tally, she devised a trap for Li Wen, leading him to walk right into it.
Chu Qingxuan neither punished Ruan Qingchen for treason nor mentioned the Tiger Tally, which made Li Wen restless.
As expected, when Li Wen proposed to punish Ruan Qingchen during court, Chu Qingxuan rejected the proposal. Chu Qingxuan's words were all in defense of Ruan Qingchen, so Li Wen believed that Chu Qingxuan was reluctant to order Ruan Qingchen's execution because of her feelings for her.
Finally, he went to the imperial prison and devised a plan to take Ruan Qingchen away.
Chu Qingxuan and Ruan Qingchen worked together to lure Li Wen here.
After hearing this, Li Wen threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Your Majesty's methods are indeed brilliant; I am ashamed of my inferiority!"
Chu Qingxuan waved her hand, adopting a humble demeanor, "It's nothing, it's all thanks to the Imperial Preceptor's help."
A pair of smiling eyes glanced at Ruan Qingchen, raising an eyebrow at her. Ruan Qingchen was aroused and coughed lightly.
Li Wen looked at Chu Qingxuan and Ruan Qingchen, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "Does Your Majesty really think Ruan Qingchen has no intention of rebelling?"
Ruan Qingchen frowned, looking at Li Wen with impatience.
“Li Wen, the reason my family was destroyed is because of you,” Ruan Qingchen said calmly, looking at Li Wen.
"Yes, so what? The one who issued the decree was His Majesty, not me!"
Chu Qingxuan frowned slightly and glanced at Ruan Qingchen, only to see Ruan Qingchen snatch the long sword from Jun Zilin's hand and plunge it into Li Wen's chest.
"It's noisy."
The other three looked at Ruan Qingchen in silence.
After a long while, Chu Qingxuan walked up and took Ruan Qingchen's hand. Ruan Qingchen felt the warmth of her palm and looked down to see Chu Qingxuan's smiling face.
"Let's go back to the palace."
Li Wen's matter is over; now it's time for Chu Qingwan and Jun Zilin to get married.
When Junzilin married Chu Qingwan, the capital was filled with a vibrant atmosphere of ten miles of red bridal procession.
Looking at Chu Qingwan's wedding procession, Chu Qingxuan glanced at Ruan Qingchen beside her and asked, "Ruan Qingchen, I have a question for you."
"What?" Ruan Qingchen turned her head, her eyes fixed intently on Chu Qingxuan.
"Have you truly let go of the hatred in your heart?"
Ruan Qingchen was slightly taken aback and did not answer Chu Qingxuan's question.
Chu Qingxuan reached out and took the jade pendant from Ruan Qingchen's waist. "This is your family's heirloom jade pendant, isn't it?"
"Um."
“It was Jun Zilin who told me that it’s not wrong to think about your family. Ruan Qingchen, you don’t need to worry about it.”
"As for the Luo family's grievances, I have already asked Wuyou to handle them."
Chu Qingxuan looked up at Ruan Qingchen, her expression earnest and persistent, "I only have one question for you: are you sincere towards me?"
"Yes," Ruan Qingchen replied earnestly.
My heart has only ever been moved by you.
Chu Qingxuan smiled, her face blooming like a flower, and Ruan Qingchen didn't react for a long time.
Chu Qingxuan reached out and tightly grasped Ruan Qingchen's hand.
That's enough. Let's go to the next dimension together.
