It was already past noon when Mu Qingli opened her eyes again. She looked at the sky outside and punched Gu Luoheng in shame and anger, her cheeks flushed.

"It's already this late and you haven't called me yet, and you haven't even gone to pay your respects to Mother! If the news gets out, I'll be laughed at by others!"

It was all because of this bastard who kept making noises last night and she didn't even know when she fell asleep. Who would have thought that when she opened her eyes it was already past noon.

Gu Luoheng also came over and put his arm around her shoulders with a smile. The quilt slipped down, revealing several red nail marks on her shoulders, which were evidence of his trouble last night. He coaxed his wife with a gentle voice.

"Okay, don't be angry. I've already told mother that we'll be late. She also said that you don't need to greet me and save yourself the trouble. Besides, the capital is probably very busy today. Isn't it better for us to hide away in the mansion and relax?"

Qiao Yan, who was beside him this morning, was already there. He whispered to him from outside the door that the Emperor had already taken action against the Prime Minister during the morning court session. With our help, even the most difficult tutors will be able to stop talking once the evidence is presented before the Emperor. Don't worry."

The evidence they had found on Tang Kun's side was irrefutable. How could he refute it? Who was worried about that? She was clearly worried about her own face. If a newlywed couple had been making such a fuss until now, it would be a joke to others.

Mu Qingli ignored him angrily and got up to put on his clothes. Unexpectedly, his legs almost went weak when he got out of bed and he was finally pulled back into bed by someone. Fortunately, he looked clean all over, which showed that someone had helped him clean up yesterday.

Gu Luoheng was considerate enough. He quickly reached out and massaged Mu Qingli's legs for a while, and then he felt much better. The couple stopped making a fuss and quickly got up and went to the front hall to pay their respects to Fang Jiale and his wife.

Qiu Jin went to deliver the message in advance, and when they arrived, the couple was already waiting in the main hall to drink tea with the daughter-in-law.

Looking at the young couple coming together, Fang Jiale's smile did not fade at all. He happily took the tea from his daughter-in-law and quickly asked them to get up. He felt very distressed.

Mu Qingli, who had just knelt down for a while, felt a little embarrassed. He talked with the two elders for a long time before suggesting leaving.

After today, all the grudges from the previous life will be cleared, so she was naturally a little impatient.

Seeing that both of them seemed to be busy, Gu Chengjin naturally did not keep them and let them go with a smile and a loving look.

The loving couple made him feel at ease, and he would not have to worry anymore since his son would have a capable child like Ali by his side.

Mu Qingli left the house without further delay. Gu Luoheng was worried about her so he followed her all the way and they soon arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison.

Tang Kun has placed a lot of people in Beijing over the years. Fortunately, although the joint efforts of several parties were a bit difficult, they finally caught most of the people, including Liao Zhirou, who had just come to Beijing to seek refuge with the Mu family.

Liao Zhirou was already feeling uneasy after being arrested for no reason, but when she was put in jail and heard that the Prime Minister was a spy from another country who had been hiding for many years and was now imprisoned in the Sky Prison, she instantly understood why she was there.

When Mu Qingli appeared, she was leaning against the wall with a look of despair on her face, staring blankly at what she was thinking.

"Your plan has failed before it was even implemented. Isn't that a pity?"

Liao Zhirou came back to her senses instantly and was a little surprised to see Mu Qingli. The distorted expression on her face almost disappeared, and her expression did not look good either.

"Why are you here? What does the master's exposure have to do with you?"

Mu Qingli was not surprised at her sharpness at all. He even walked closer and looked at her with a rare bright smile and a bit of pride.

"Then I should ask you. Originally, I only had some suspicions about Tang Kun, but you lost your patience and contacted him first. Plus, I also found out some things, which is how I confirmed his identity.

If all the charges of colluding with foreign nations, treason, forming a clique for personal gain, and eliminating dissidents were added together, wouldn't it be too much to sentence him and his entire family to death? Then guess how you'll die?"

Liao Zhirou could clearly hear the murderous intent and hostility in the other party's words, but doubts still lingered in her heart, and her brows were furrowed tightly.

After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't help but speak, "My identity is very clean. When did you first doubt me?"

At this point, Mu Qingli no longer hid anything and explained it to her directly in a good mood.

“In fact, my people at the border had already set their sights on you, but at that time you were busy winning people’s hearts in the barracks, so naturally you didn’t notice the eyes around you.

I once gave you a chance to choose whether or not to take action against the Mu family. Unfortunately, you didn't cherish that opportunity and instead followed my father back to Beijing.

Now that you've made your choice, don't blame me for taking action against you. Just guess, with the so-called favor you arranged, will my father still choose to protect you after he knows your identity?"

Liao Zhirou didn't expect that her identity would be exposed so early, and her face became increasingly ugly.

It would be strange if the other party would rescue her now that her identity was exposed. What's more, this matter was a trap from the beginning, including the so-called life-saving grace, which was fake from the beginning.

Seeing that she didn't say anything and didn't care, Mu Qingli raised his hand, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and placed it directly on the ground outside the cell railing.

"I'm here to free you. His Majesty has already ordered all spies found in the capital to be sent to the northwest mines to do hard labor. Since you have shown some kindness to us, the Mu family army, I brought you some poison.

You can choose to eat or not, I put the food here, and it’s up to you to choose.”

She came here today just to see this woman die, and naturally brought poison with her to end all the grudges and hatreds between the two in their past and present lives. It took a lot of effort to convince Gu Luoheng to let her come in alone to handle the matter.

Liao Zhirou had already heard about the emperor's decree from the yamen runners in their casual conversation. With her pride, she naturally refused to do hard labor. After a moment of silence, she walked over and picked up the bottle.

Mu Qingli took a few steps back and looked at her quietly until she finished the contents of the bottle quite neatly before she turned and left.

She asked Qilan to make that poison specifically for her. It was a combination of several poisons and its toxicity was extraordinary. Even Qilan might not know how she would die.

She just watched silently for a while until the other person fell to the ground and gradually lost his breath, then she turned and left.

At this point, all the grudges from previous lives are cleared.

Tang Kun's treason also gave Lu Jinnian an excellent excuse to send troops, and the war soon broke out again.

This time, Mu Qingli and her brother Mu Fushu also put aside their regrets. Both siblings volunteered to accompany their father to the battlefield. Working together, the siblings quickly conquered several small countries around them.

The Daren Kingdom that Lu Jinnian took over also achieved true family harmony, national governance, and world peace, and the world has been peaceful since then.

Mu Qingli also successfully gave birth to a child in the first year after the war ended. From then on, the family lived in harmony and the couple loved each other.
