Zhou Ruo looked at the ruthless Mo Xiao and said nothing in the end.

It was true that she was greedy for fame and fortune, but it was also true that she had fallen in love with Mo Xiao. Now, this man who had attracted her heart wanted her dead impatiently, and this was all retribution for her mistakes.

Zhou Ruo took a deep breath, walked slowly to the tray, reached out for the wine glass, closed his eyes and drank it all.

She gently put the wine glass back on the tray, then turned back to look at Mo Xiao: "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this?"

Mo Xiao had no expression on his face and did not answer her.

Zhou Ruo smiled, then said softly: "Since I am still quite obedient, can you promise me one last thing?"

Mo Xiao frowned: "What else do you want to do?"

"The painting incident was indeed done by Tuoba Xuan and I, I admit that. But I wasn't the only one involved in destroying the evidence." Zhou Ruo grinned, with a bit of madness in his eyes, "My good father helped me a lot. He personally arranged for the maid's family to be moved away, and later he even wanted to kill her to silence her, but he didn't succeed."

"Your Majesty, please do not let the Zhou family go. Their hands are not clean."

Lin Jiuqing next to him frowned, and for the first time, a look of pity appeared in his eyes.

Zhou Ruo wanted to take the Zhou family with her even when she died, so you can imagine how much harm the Zhou family had caused her. If the Zhou family had any feelings for her, she would not have done such a ruthless thing.

Mo Xiao looked at her silently for a while, then nodded: "Don't worry, I will not let anyone involved in this matter go."

Zhou Ruo finally revealed a satisfied smile: "In this case, I am relieved."

She seemed tired of standing, so she slowly walked to a chair and sat down. She also seemed to feel that the glass of wine she had just drunk was a bit bitter, so she poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

After finishing a cup of tea, she looked up at Lin Jiuqing standing aside and said slowly: "No matter what, I'll apologize to you. After all, you didn't do anything to hurt me, but I did something to let you down."

Lin Jiuqing was silent for a moment, then said: "It's all over."

Zhou Ruo hummed, glanced at her and Mo Xiao, and said slowly: "I just... I still wish you can be happy forever, always like now, trust and love each other, and hope you can do what others can't do."

"I'll go ahead and wait for you guys downstairs."

After Zhou Ruo said this, he seemed to have used up the last bit of his strength and slowly lay down on the table. He looked so peaceful as if he had fallen asleep.

Mo Xiao reached out and covered Lin Jiuqing's eyes, then held her and turned her around, saying softly, "You're tired too, go back and rest first, I'll take care of this."

Lin Jiuqing hummed and obediently walked towards his room.

Mo Xiao turned to look at Zhou Ruo who was lying on the table and said loudly, "Someone come here."

After a while, someone hurried in, carried Zhou Ru away, and then quickly tidied up the yard, restoring everything to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

Mo Xiao said calmly: "Send the person back to the palace and report again in an hour. Concubine Shun was a traitor to the country. After the truth was revealed, she committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

From then on, Zhou Ruo's life came to an end, and this incident could barely be considered to have come to an end.
