Otherwise, she would have taken action long ago and would not have allowed Li Chaojing and Li Kechuan, father and son, to be imprisoned for so long and suffer so much.
She just felt sorry for her grandmother.
Moreover, he did not want to satisfy the Queen's party.
"If we make this matter controversial, is it possible to impose a lighter punishment?"
Duan Rongshi: "How would you like to lighten the punishment?"
Li Qingluo: "Exile or confiscation of property are both acceptable."
"As long as there's still someone alive."
Duan Rongshi didn't say anything.
Li Qingluo stood up and knelt down: "Your Highness, I know that my thoughts were selfish and I ignored the facts."
"He deserves to die."
"But his death alone is enough. If the whole clan were to suffer, wouldn't that be a cruel punishment?"
Duan Rongshi: "You dare to question the laws of Daliang? You're so bold!"
Li Qingluo stared into Duan Rongshi's eyes.
She knew that plucking the hair from his tiger's head was an act of seeking death.
But she also promised her grandmother.
"I beg Your Highness to give me a chance... Just five years. After five years, if I'm still alive, I will personally kill him. I will do justice to the cause by killing my own relatives!"
"Even if the entire Li family were to be exterminated, wouldn't that be what the Queen and her faction want?"
"how?"
Five years is enough for my grandmother to make up for her regrets.
Five years later, she would give the real evidence to her grandmother, and the fair-minded grandmother would understand what she meant.
Duan Rongshi bent down and reached out to lift Li Qingluo's face.
He narrowed his eyes at her and said, "What do you mean, you're still alive in five years?"
"Li Qingluo, are you hiding something from me?"
Li Qingluo turned his head away.
"Things in life are unpredictable. I was just using an analogy."
Duan Rongshi: "Alright, get up."
"You can write to *** about this matter. Don't you have two other letters written by Lieutenant General Jiang?"
"Send it to *** together. *** will understand after reading it."
The King and the Queen have always been at odds.
She would be happy to get involved.
By then, if the evidence is flawed, it will be impossible to fully identify Li Chaojing's guilt.
Li Qingluo thought so too.
But there was no way to get past Duan Rongshi, and she was afraid that this matter would become a thorn between them in the future.
After getting his promise, Li Qingluo would write a letter when he returned.
Duan Rongshi saw that she was still kneeling, sighed, and personally pulled her up and closer to him.
"Is this how you control me now?"
He pinched her soft cheek angrily.
However, Li Chaojing had to die sooner or later, and he really didn't mind if he died five years later, or how he died.
For example, there were too many abnormal deaths on the road to exile.
As for the cruel officials she mentioned... As the Prince Su who once wiped out an entire family in one night, he had nothing to say.
Li Qingluo struggled to break free with a red face and walked away.
"Your Highness, let's talk business."
Duan Rongshi realized that Li Qingluo was avoiding him.
She didn't want him to touch her?
Even though it was just holding hands, she was clearly not like that yesterday.
This made him suspicious.
"When did this prince become indecent?"
"But you..."
Li Qingluo knew he was suspicious and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, you didn't return to the palace last night?"
Duan Rongshi: "I have entered the palace."
Li Qingluo immediately understood that something happened in the palace last night?
I just don’t know what it is?
She glanced at him curiously.
Duan Rongshi: "I'll tell you slowly later."
"You have nothing else to say to the king?"
She came to Guiyuan on her own initiative, so there must be something else besides the Li family's affairs.
Why don’t you say anything anymore?
Duan Rongshi came closer to her step by step.
Li Qingluo smelled a strange fragrance when he took a breath.
She had smelled this fragrance this morning.
Later, I also smelled it in Qingzhu Garden.
Later, when Sha Yi and Sha Er came to find her, she also smelled it.
When Li Qingluo looked at Duan Rong approaching him again, he felt bitter in his heart.
"Your Highness... I heard that you went to Princess Qinyu's residence the night before. I wonder... what you did there?"
Duan Rongshi pulled her into his arms.
Seeing her expression, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but she asked such a question.
He whispered, "I haven't seen Zong Zheng Yu'er. It seems she was seriously injured that day."
"But I have confirmed that Zulia is in the princess's mansion. I will personally capture her tonight and bring her to you to detoxify you."
"Are you afraid of this?"
Li Qingluo felt a pang of pain in his nose.
He suppressed a laugh and said, "No."
"But if... I also turned into a monster, Your Highness would you personally kill me to prevent future troubles?"
Duan Rongshi: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Luo'er, what happened to you?"
Li Qingluo couldn't help but hug him, raised her head to his neck and took a deep breath: "You... smell so good."
