Song Shiying's face remained unchanged. She was now worried that Ling Shumo would retaliate against her, and her mind was filled with thoughts of distancing herself from Xue Wu. "That's enough. When I wrote that poem for you, I was just young and ignorant. After you married Her Royal Highness, I haven't had any dirty thoughts about you. You've fallen into this fatal situation now because of your unruly behavior and dissolute behavior. This is all your own fault."
Xue Wu's hands were shaking, and no one noticed the sharp stone pieces hidden under his sleeves.
Just when no one could react, Xue Wu inserted the stone into Song Shiying's heart.
But a stone flake is just a stone flake after all, not a knife.
It is winter now, and Song Shiying is wrapped in a thick woolen coat. There is only a little bleeding on her chest, which is not life-threatening at all.
Song Shiying kicked Xue Wu in the heart. Xue Wu fell backward to the ground. A sharp stone on the ground cut a five-foot-long wound on his left arm. The blood gushed out instantly, and his already pale face became even paler.
Ling Shumo stepped forward and patted Song Shiying on the shoulder. "It seems that Miss Song is a person who can judge the situation very well."
Song Shiying smiled apologetically again and again.
At this moment, Chu Changying was squatting in front of Xue Wu.
He took out some gauze from the medicine box and wanted to bandage Xue Wu, but Xue Wu simply pushed his hand away and said, "I'm already dead, so there's no need to waste Lord Chu's medicine."
Chu Changying did not stop his actions, he forcibly bandaged Xue Wu's wound.
Xue Wu discovered that Chu Changying's hands were also trembling slightly.
Chu Changying was just focused on the excitement of seeing his ex-girlfriend, but after a few minutes of cooling down, he found that Song Shiying had changed beyond recognition and was no longer the person he remembered.
Chu Changying asked Ling Shumo, "Your Highness... Your Highness, are you really going to kill him?"
Ling Shumo's voice was clear and calm. "Of course he must die, but not because of an affair with another woman. I can't afford to lose that person. Once you leave Qiongyu Lake, it's best to completely forget what happened today. Otherwise, Xue Wu's fate will be yours."
After Ling Shumo finished speaking, she strode out of this unlucky place.
Xue Wu grabbed Chu Changying's sleeve and said, "Give me a knife. I want to end my life."
Chu Changying hid the scalpel back at the bottom of the medicine box and pushed the box forward. "Her Royal Highness hasn't killed you yet, has she? Go and beg her again. Maybe... maybe there will be another turn of events..."
Xue Wu's beautiful eyes had long since lost all their luster. "I offended Shangguan Xu of the Xuanyou Empire. Because of me, Shangguan Xu was slapped by his sister. If Her Highness is willing to protect me, I will naturally have nothing to fear. But now, the day Shangguan Xu marries into the Eastern Palace will be the day of my death. Rather than being tortured and humiliated to death by Shangguan Xu, I beg you to let me die quickly."
Faced with Xue Wu's almost desperate plea, Chu Changying still did not give him the scalpel.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
He lives in this dynasty where women's rights are above everything else, and he feels suffocated every day. But no matter how painful it is, he wants to carve out a path for survival among the thorns.
Chu Changying walked up to Song Shiying and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him. "Nan Yi, I beg you, please help him. Even if he is wrong, his crime does not deserve the death penalty."
Song Shiying remained unmoved. "This isn't modern times. Xue Wu is courting death by doing this. He should have thought of this day when he kept the note."
Song Shiying's voice became a little irritable when he said this. "Fortunately, Her Royal Highness is so magnanimous. Otherwise, if I had been implicated by him today, all my hard work and efforts for more than ten years would have been wasted."
Chu Changying grabbed Song Shiying by the collar and said, "Hurry up and tell Her Royal Highness that you want to save Xue Wu. Song Nanyi, believe me, even if your leg is broken, I have a way to reconnect it. The road to exile in Blackwater City is very difficult, but it is not completely hopeless. I will send you money on time every month. Although you may not become rich there, you can live a peaceful life..."
Song Shiying pushed Chu Changying away and said, "Chu Changying, you are really unreasonable. I have a bright future. I am about to marry the son of the Minister of Personnel. Why should I destroy myself for a bitch who brings me trouble?"
Chu Changying was a hundred times more excited than Song Shiying, "Song Nanyi, you don't even want to call me by my name from my previous life. You have been completely assimilated by this feudal dynasty.
What on earth did Xue Wu do wrong? He didn't kill anyone or set anything ablaze. He just liked you.
If it weren't for the ridiculous 'parents' orders and matchmaker's words' here, he would have had a very happy and beautiful future.
And you, you selfish and cowardly coward, you put all the blame on a weak man like Xue Wu. You are so shameless.
Song Shiying took a step back. "So you also know this isn't modern times, and living here requires observing feudal etiquette? Since you're so clear about the rules here, you should understand that it was that bitch Xue Wu who was being fickle. I was simply following the instructions of Her Highness the Princess. 'Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents, and Teachers,' and among them, 'the sovereign is the leader of the ministers.' How could I possibly go against someone in a higher position?"
Chu Changying was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He finally nodded vigorously and said "OK" three times loudly. "Song Nanyi, you'd better remember what you said today."
Song Shiying didn't take Chu Changying seriously at all. She patted the clothes that were soiled by Xue Wu and left the shore of Qiong Yu Lake without looking back.
Chu Changying closed his eyes. "System, didn't you tell me there was a Soul-Stirring Pill in my backpack? Now tell me how to use it."
The system almost thought it was a bug due to a network outage. "What did you say? Host, say it again. Are you finally planning to seduce Her Royal Highness? Don't scare me, what's wrong with you? Every time I mention this to you, it's like a brothel madam abducting an innocent girl. I haven't forced you these days, so why did you suddenly decide to sell yourself?"
Chu Changying looked quietly in the direction where Song Shiying disappeared.
There is a saying that goes, "If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die." If Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess ordered Song Shiying to end her life, would she still be able to act as righteously as she did just now?
