Cold-faced Empress

Neither she nor her mother could question Wei Lanling at this time. Because Wei Lanling's actions were ultimately revenge—revenge for her previous poisoning! If they provoked Wei Lanling now, and she revealed the poisoning to the Emperor, it would only create more trouble.

Right now, Wei Lanling is in a state of panic, and all she can think about is how to defend herself. She would never say that the reason for the murder was revenge.

Lady Wei could no longer contain herself and stepped forward to grab Wei Lanling's hair, starting a fight.

"It's all your fault, you wicked woman! Not only did you harm your cousin, but you also ruined Cheng'er!"

This reminded Wei Lanling, who immediately had something to say in her defense: "It wasn't me, it was Ruicheng's idea. He's liked Fu Siying for a long time and threatened me to help him!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Wei's fighting intensified. This absurd scene greatly displeased the Empress Dowager!

"Stop! How dare you act so wildly in front of the Emperor and me!"

Lady Wei stopped in anguish, then turned and frantically pushed her son's naked body, crying out, "Cheng'er, wake up! Wake up!"

Ning Ruicheng was covered in filth and lay fast asleep, completely motionless.

Enraged by this matter, the Emperor made a wise decision: "Marquis Wei, the fact that your son was in the palace maids' quarters is enough to prove that he plotted this! I heard that Prince Mu has sentenced him to castration. Originally, many people pleaded with me for leniency, and I hesitated whether to persuade Prince Mu to show leniency. Now it seems that this punishment will not be changed!"

The Emperor waved his hand and ordered the guards, "Drag this beast away now and execute him, cut off his wicked nature!"

"Your Majesty!" Marquis Wei and his wife cried out in despair, "Your Majesty! This is our only son!"

"But your son has done this more than once!"

The emperor remained unmoved and firmly ordered the guards to carry out the order.

Ning Ruicheng was dragged down from the main hall. In no time, a heart-wrenching scream came from outside the hall, startling the night.

Fu Siying suddenly gripped Yunzhi's hand tightly, staring down at Yunzhi's face. After only two breaths, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her crying with red eyes, Yunzhi was terrified herself, but still had to comfort her: "Sister, don't be afraid."

Fu Siying shook her head and buried her face in Yunzhi's shoulder. Tears streamed down her face, and she could only suppress her sobs and cries by clenching her teeth and tensing her neck.

She desperately wanted to see a reflection of Yunzhi from her past life on Yunzhi's face, hoping to gain Yunzhi's forgiveness.

At this moment, she longed to hold Yunzhi tightly and cry out loud, releasing all her guilt and self-blame towards Yunzhi. Every act of revenge and scheming against Ning Ruicheng only served to exacerbate her regret and pain, preventing her from redeeming herself.

After punishing Ning Ruicheng, it was Wei Lanling's turn.

The Emperor directly stated that Wei Lanling would be handed over to Prince Mu for his disposal.

Wei Lanling lay motionless on the ground, like a terrified mouse. Those palace servants and scoundrels had all been punished with severed fingers; what the real culprit would face was unimaginable!

Mo Canglan looked at Fu Siying, after all, Wei Lanling was her cousin.

Fu Siying coldly turned her head away, her ruthless expression revealing her attitude. Although she felt that ending things with Wei Lanling would be too lenient on that bitch, tonight's events had served as a wake-up call.

Wei Lanling began her counterattack. Rather than having to constantly guard against this bitch in the future, she decided to end this revenge now.

Mo Canglan spoke: "Since His Majesty has granted me permission to handle this, then I..."

"I am pregnant!"
