Amidst Lan Qiao's sobbing, Lan Te raised his head and asked, "Do you know why I killed Chi Dan?"
"Because he told me: Even if the king dotes on you, so what? I have great talent... When I ascend to the throne, I will drive out your whole family of bastards."
When Lant said this, he suddenly laughed: "So, I killed him."
He glanced at everyone present, his expression somewhat frantic. "After I killed Chi Dan, Lan Qiao saw it. I grabbed her neck and threatened her not to tell anyone."
Lan Qiao paused crying and looked a little confused.
"I saw that Aiyou often went to the palace to please my father, and I thought that Aiyou did this to make it easier for Zhuxu to ascend to the throne. So, under the pretext of not wanting my sister to get too close to her, I did some things to make my father dislike her."
Lan Qiao turned around blankly and stared at her brother.
"Because I hate Zhuxu, I deliberately took action in the forging room, hoping that Zhuxu would mess things up and make my father hate him."
"Yes, it's me."
Lant suddenly looked up at the darkness behind the Dwarf King, tears welling in his eyes. "I'm sorry for failing to live up to your expectations. What I wanted was never love, but power."
The dwarf king closed his eyes, then opened them again and shouted, "Lock Lant in the dungeon and never let him out."
He looked at his daughter, who was staring blankly at her brother, and his voice gradually weakened: "Lan Qiao will be confined for three years."
As Lant was taken away, Lan Qiao staggered to her feet and tried to pull Lant's arm.
Lan Te turned around and opened his mouth to her from an angle that no one could see: "Lan Qiao, don't be afraid."
Lan Qiao paused and looked at her brother being taken away by the soldiers, tears falling one by one.
She thought of the first time she broke the glass bottle her father had forged, and her brother came over and said, "Lan Qiao, don't be afraid."
Later, the elder brother took the blame for the incident and accepted his father's punishment.
What happened next? So many things happened afterwards... she couldn't count them all.
When Lan Qiao was taken away by the servants, she seemed to have lost her soul and walked unsteadily.
After everyone left one after another, the Dwarf King called out to Chi Sui and others.
He opened the large box beside him, revealing the statue of Eric inside.
Under the vigilant gaze of Chi Sui and Long Xi, the Dwarf King opened the small box next to him.
He drew out Chi Sui's sword and said in a calm voice, "I promised Eric that I would give him the sword."
