Shen Yu knelt on the ground, and the two old women knelt down in fear, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty; Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."
Seeing that Chenyu was bound by thick ropes, Hongyu quickly went forward to help untie her. She grabbed Chenyu's hand, trying to help her up. Unexpectedly, Chenyu let out a loud scream.
