Upon hearing this, Consort Hua fell silent, lowered her head, and then her red lips curled into a smile devoid of warmth, before she lifted her head to look at Murong Ze.
"What? Do you also think I'm ruthless?"
What could Murong Ze say to that?
To say she was ruthless, she did it all for them.
What right did he have to further question her about this?

As for the dry wells, even those with water must have claimed quite a few lives.
He couldn't quite grasp his feelings, but still, he tried to defend those people.
"What mistake did those palace maids and eunuchs make for you to treat them like this?"
Watching her youngest son's furrowed brows, Consort Hua felt complicated emotions.
