Upon hearing this, Green Princess looked surprised!

"What did you say? I made things difficult for her? Ha! Don't you think about how she treated me back then? If it weren't for her, would I have lost my child? If it weren't for her, how could I have ended up like this? Let me tell you, I hate her! I just hate her! I want to make her wish she were dead!"

"How dare you! You have such audacity!"

Duanmu Chuze was truly enraged at this moment.

Even if Zhaoyang wasn't a particularly bad woman, she was still his sister.

Duanmu Chuze has no other flaws, except that he's very protective of his own!

You can tell just by looking at how he used to protect Mu Xin Nuan.

“Lv Ji, how could you be so foolish? Zhao Yang is a princess, why do you have to go against her? I know I didn’t handle things well back then. If I had been more assertive, perhaps I could have let you come into the family as a concubine, and at least I could have protected you and your child. You wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

"Enough! What's the point of saying all this now?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Green Princess's face. If regret were useful, how could she have ended up like this?

“Lu Ji, I know that Zhao Yang did something cruel back then. But the root cause is also my fault. If I hadn’t been lusting after your beauty and fearing the princess’s authority, you wouldn’t have gotten into trouble. Blame me if you want. Lu Ji, listen to my advice, quickly tell the Emperor what you did to Zhao Yang. Don’t do anything foolish again.”

"I killed her, so what?" Green Princess straightened her upper body and looked at Prince Consort Luo with a cold expression.

If this man hadn't been so weak and irresponsible back then, how could she have gone through such a brush with death?

She was only able to survive unharmed after meeting her destined benefactor.

Now, she wanted to see what this incompetent person could still do for Princess Zhaoyang.

"Green Princess, you're lying to me, aren't you?"

"Heh! Why would I lie to you? Since I hate Princess Zhaoyang so much, I naturally want to find a way to kill her! Otherwise, if I were to impersonate her, wouldn't you discover it very quickly?"

"Green Fairy! What exactly have you done to Zhaoyang?"

For some reason, Prince Consort Luo suddenly seemed to have gone mad, rushing in front of her and grabbing her clothes fiercely, demanding, "Tell me, where is she? Where is she?"

"I told you, I killed her, I killed her!"

As if she felt her words weren't harsh enough, Green Princess continued to assault his ears and strike at his heart.

"No! She won't die, she won't!"

The prince consort Luo, with a strength he didn't know he had, slapped Lü Ji to the ground. When Lü Ji raised her head again, there was a clear handprint on her left cheek, and half of her face was swollen high.

"You fought for that poisonous woman?"

Green Princess looked completely incredulous.

Mu Xin Nuan curled her lips slightly. This Green Princess was quite interesting. Where did she get the confidence to think that Prince Consort Luo wouldn't dare to hit her?

The prince consort's face turned deathly pale. He took several steps back, one hand on his chest, as if he were in great pain.

Chu Rong sensed something was wrong and was about to step forward when he saw Consort Luo suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Come here, call the doctor quickly!"

Duanmu Chuze shook his head and gave Chu Rong a look. Chu Rong then stepped forward to help Luo Fuma up. "You don't need to worry. The princess is fine. She has been successfully rescued by our people. She is resting in the side hall now."

The once dull eyes of Prince Consort Luo flickered slightly. "Are you serious?"

"Yes. His Majesty just saw the princess. She is too weak and is resting now. I will help you over."

Upon hearing this, Green Princess on the ground cried out, "Impossible! Impossible! You couldn't have saved her. No!"

Seeing Green Fairy's frenzied state, Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "The word 'love' truly has a lot of harmful effects. And once a woman hates someone, it's unimaginable."

Duanmu Chuze tightened his grip slightly. "Don't worry, Zhaoyang is fine. We'll be fine too."

Mu Xin Nuan smiled at him, "I know. I believe you have the ability to protect my child and me."

"Green Princess, your only chance now is to tell me everything you know. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill everyone you care about!"

Green Princess was stunned, looking at the Emperor on the high seat with disbelief. Her eyes darted around, she couldn't believe that the Emperor really knew everything.

If you already know, why bother asking her?

Green Princess gave a cold laugh, "Now everything has been exposed. Whether you kill me or torture me is entirely up to you."

"So you're not planning to tell me?"

"But you want to use torture? Heh! I've already died once, what do I have to be afraid of? Do as you please."

Mu Xinnuan frowned slightly; she had indeed encountered a tough nut to crack.

"You really won't tell me?"

Duanmu Chuze was not in a hurry, but asked again.

Green Princess, assuming they were out of options, grew even more confident. "You just want revenge for Princess Zhaoyang, right? Then kill me!"

"You think you'll be fine now that you're dead? Do you think I'm bluffing you? Fine, then let me tell you a few names."

"Trying to trick me? Fine! Say what you want to say." Green Princess acted like she had nothing to lose, which only made Mu Xin Nuan feel more disgusted.

"I've heard that Young Master Zheng is quite handsome, but I wonder if he's important to you?"

Green Princess's expression changed slightly. So the Emperor really knew?

Seeing her expression, Duanmu Chuze scoffed, "By the way, didn't you keep a weak young master on a certain estate outside Princess City? Oh, I'm mistaken. That estate was sold off by my elder sister long ago. You were just the buyer back then."

Green Princess was truly panicked now!

"No! That's impossible. How could you, how could you?"

"How would I know?"

Duanmu Chuze snorted coldly, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Green Princess, do you really think your plan can hide from me? Do you think I don't know that the border affairs were planned by you two? Oh, right, and the mutiny in Xingzhou."

Green Princess's face turned deathly pale. She truly hadn't expected that their meticulously planned scheme had been anticipated by the Emperor.

"This is your last chance. If you speak, I might consider sparing that young master's life. If you don't, guess what kind of punishment I will use on him?"

"No! You can't do this!"

"Why can't I? Oh, and what about that Young Master Zheng? How about letting the two of them experience the most excruciating tortures of this world? What do you think?"
