Emperor Jianxi: ...Why are you still bargaining?
Shangguan Shu: ...dare, or do you dare...
Emperor Jianxi held it in for a long time and said, "Get out of here!"
Zhao Ying saw that the situation was not right and quickly stood up, "I'm leaving!"
"I'll leave right away!"
After saying this, he ran away without caring about Shangguan Shu.
Zhao Ying dared to provoke Emperor Jianxi like this, but Shangguan Shu didn't dare, so Shangguan Shu knelt down alone.
Seeing this, Emperor Jianxi curled his lips in annoyance and waved his hand at Shangguan Shu, "You get out too!"
Shangguan Shu received the order and left.
When Shangguan Shu returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, news came from Shangguan Zhu that the matter had been settled.
So the next day, Zhou Changsheng was handed over by the prince.
Zhou Changsheng was tortured and confessed everything under the severe punishment.
It turned out that he had a beloved woman who was a courtesan in Yihonglou in the capital. He wanted to redeem his beloved, but the brothel owner asked for an exorbitant price.
He wanted to borrow money from his clansmen, but since he was born into a noble family, his clansmen, knowing that he wanted to redeem a prostitute, decisively refused his request and threatened that if he really redeemed the woman, he would be expelled from the clan tree.
Zhou Changsheng probably truly loved this woman and was willing to expel her from the family tree to redeem her.

The prince's merits and demerits were offset by his handing over Zhou Changsheng.
Zhou Changsheng was sentenced to immediate execution at the vegetable market.
The case should have ended here.
However……
Death row.
A beautiful woman came over, carrying a food box in her hand.
Behind her followed a tall old servant, with his head lowered and messy hair, which just covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
The old servant spoke in a hoarse voice and gave some silver to the jailer, asking him to stay away so that they could talk in private.
The jailer weighed the silver, glanced ambiguously into the cell, and left.
After the jailer left.
"Changsheng..." The woman's voice was melodious and pleasant. Zhou Changsheng was lying on his side facing the wall. He turned his head when he heard the voice, then stood up and walked towards the woman.
"Yun Niang, why are you here..."
"When I learned that something happened to you, I persuaded my mother to come and see you." Xiao Yun said, tilting his head and lowering his eyes, with a tear dripping from the corner of his eye.
