He could not protect her this time.

Mu Yi's heart felt like it was stabbed by a sword; it was painful, but he was helpless.

The physician subconsciously looked at Mu Qingya standing behind Prince Min before turning to Prince Min and said in a deep voice, “Young Lady has been fatally struck. I'm afraid that… She can't be saved.”

‘She… Can't be saved…'

Prince Min was shocked.

His hands trembled a little as he held Liu Lan's arms. Tears of grief flowed down his weathered face.

He had many sons and grandsons, but he only had one granddaughter! He loved her and favored her and never allowed her to suffer even a little bit of harm.

But now… She was killed!

A wave of anger surged into his heart with monstrous, murderous intent.

He looked at Little Nine coldly.

“You have hurt my granddaughter. You must pay the price. I will make your life worse than death!!!”

Prince Min's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e as if he was using all his strength to shout that.

The Ninth Emperor's smile did not waver even once, except for the coldness that was slowly seeping into her black eyes.

“How do you know that she will die?”

Prince Min stood up with Liu Lan's body in his arms and said furiously, “You still want to defend yourself now? Mu Yi, today I will kill this daughter of yours. Do you have a problem with that?”

After all, Mu Yi was the emperor's son-in-law, and Prince Min still had to respect him by asking him this question.

But…

It did not mean that he would let Little Nine go!

Little Nine must die. She had to use her death to pay for life!

A b.l.o.o.d.y debt could only be paid with blood!

Mu Yi trembled, his face turned pale. He looked at Little Nine and said shakily, “Little Nine, why? Why do you have to do this…”

He did not understand why Little Nine had to do such a thing.

In the past, she was very kind, but now she had become so vicious that he did not dare to say that she was his daughter.

Without waiting for Little Nine to speak, Mu Qingya was already standing in front of her, and there was determination in her gaze.

“Prince Min, let me take the blame. It was because of my mother and me that Sister left home angrily back then. She grew up without anyone to discipline her and has become this vicious as a result.

“But no matter what my sister has done to me, I can't let her die without doing nothing. Prince Min, I will use my life to pay for Cousin Liu Lan's life. Spare my sister… She has suffered too much in this life. How can I bear to see her like this?”

Mu Qingya closed her eyes in grief, her voice shaking but with an unquestionable choice.

All the people had heard Mu Qingya's words and could not help but feel their hearts ache for their n.o.ble lady.

‘Little Nine has treated her badly, but she still repays her grievances with virtue and uses her own life to protect her.'

‘This is our n.o.ble Lady of Feng Yun Kingdom.'

‘Kind and gentle, treating the people like her children, unlike Little Nine, who does not even care about others' lives.'

‘If she dares to kill even Prince Min's granddaughter, she wouldn't spare us, the commoners…'

“Mu Yi, kill this demonic girl immediately!”
