Chapter 51 Empathy

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, how can you have the dignity of a crown prince like this? Aren't you afraid that my brother will come back?" Shang Zhixing said with a cold face, and his right hand touched the sleeve of his left hand.

Ouyang Zhou seemed to have thought of something funny and laughed, "Your brother? I'm afraid your brother has already been buried in the dust."

"You did it?" Shang Zhixing keenly sensed something and his heart skipped a beat. "What did you do to my brother?"

"How can that be? Shang Zhiyan will be my brother-in-law in the future. I just added fuel to the fire for Ouyang Shen. Whether it succeeds or not depends on fate."

Shang Zhixing clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, yet she felt no pain. "You Ouyang family are so kind! You are a bunch of beasts and scum! My brother was defending the borders of Chen Country, and you actually harmed him!"

"How can you say he's harming me? Your brother is just a pawn used by Ouyang Shen to frame Ouyang Xun. You won't have anyone to rely on in the future, so you might as well follow me. It was Ouyang Shen who did it to him, not me."

Shang Zhixing closed his eyes and pulled the flare in his hand. The sky was bright for a moment and then returned to calm.

Ancestors, parents, look, this is the kingdom of Chen that you protected with your lives, they are not worthy of it at all.

They are a bunch of good-for-nothings, a bunch of shameless villains, a bunch of short-sighted parasites who only care about immediate interests!

"Flare? You want someone to save you?" Ouyang Zhou's voice became cold and sinister, like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness, which might open its venomous mouth at any time.

Ouyang Zhou took two more steps forward.

"Ouyang Zhou, don't go too far!"

Shang Zhixing took a step back, missed a step and fell into the lake.

The cold lake water immediately submerged Shang Zhixing. She struggled in the water, the lake water poured into her mouth, her breathing gradually became difficult, and her strength disappeared bit by bit.

Song Ningshu watched from afar and couldn't help but cover his chest.

So uncomfortable...

The feeling of drowning is like I can relate to it.

Gu Qingyue noticed her situation and asked, "Junior sister, what's wrong?"

"It feels uncomfortable..." Song Ningshu grabbed his sleeve, his face pale.

Gu Qingyue became anxious when he heard this, "Junior sister, I will take you out of the city!"

Yan Zhen also looked worried.

"No...finish reading it." Song Ningshu shook his head.

Seeing that she insisted, Gu Qingyue did not persuade her anymore, but just kept paying attention to her situation.

Fortunately, not long after, the four secret guards broke through the heavy obstructions and quickly dealt with the two guards who blocked Ming Yi and Ming Ya with a few slashes of their swords.

Mingyi and Mingya immediately jumped into the lake and rescued Shang Zhixing.

"Shang Yi, save the young lady!" Ming Yi was already in tears at this time.

The young lady is already weak, and it is unknown how long she will have to stay in bed before she recovers.

"I'll take the young lady back to the general's residence first." Shang Yi's face was covered with a black cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed. "You guys cover her."

He bent down and picked up Shang Zhixing, "Miss, I'm sorry."

At this time, the people in the hall and the many guards in the palace had already been alarmed. The torches were lit and flames shot up into the sky.

Shang Yi held Shang Zhixing and returned to the general's mansion under the protection of others.

Of the four secret guards, three died protecting their master, and Mingya blocked the sword for Mingyi.

Mingyi returned to the general's mansion covered in blood.

Soon, the general's mansion was surrounded by the imperial guards.

Crimes: General Shang Zhiyan, the frontier defender, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country; Princess Zhaoxi Shang Zhixing assassinated the crown prince.

The guards at the General's Mansion were all veterans who had retired from the battlefield, but the Imperial Guards were numerous and were ultimately defeated, with the floor of the General's Mansion covered in blood.

Ouyang Zhou led the Royal Guards into Shang Zhixing's Leran Garden, when Shang Zhixing had just woken up.

Shang Zhixing sat on the bed, his face pale, but his elegance could not be concealed, and there was a kind of broken beauty.

She held the sword in her hand, across her neck, "You, the Ouyang family, are using my brother as a raft in your struggle for power."

"You are so lusty that you are willing to kill everyone in my house just to get me."

"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed."

"How can a dynasty like this survive? How can it survive?!"

"I, Shang Zhixing, swear today that I curse your Ouyang family. May the kingdom change hands, may you die a miserable death, and may you not be reborn after death!"

Shang Zhixing's eyes were cold, and he cried with tears in his eyes with every word. He exerted force with his wrist and committed suicide in front of Ouyang Zhou.

Song Ningshu's face turned pale and he pressed his forehead, as if something was about to break through the barrier.
