Peng Liling looked at him with an angry look. "Do you want to know what I did, Your Majesty? Before Tan Xiuying went to the place of seclusion to serve the term her father gave her, I sent her a letter on behalf of Your Majesty to set up your meeting. She fell for it and went to Houguan, where I had set up a meeting."
Her voice grew more animated as she recounted the events. "That's when I ordered the troops to besiege her on the coastal cliff. But that girl, I'll give her credit for her tenacity. She didn't yield even when she faced another armed group."
She maintained her defiant gaze as she continued, her tone dripping with a hint of satisfaction. "In the end, my forces closed in on her, leaving her with no choice but to jump into the turbulent sea. It was then that a ferocious whirlpool appeared, devouring her whole. I'm certain that anyone, no matter how formidable, would meet their tragic end if they were pulled into that abyss."
