They couldn't believe that Jin Shu would be so cruel as to treat her own parents like that.
Lady Hou berated Liang Qingqing and Huangfu Rong, accusing them of deceiving her and causing her to be separated from her biological daughter for so many years.
Liang Qingqing didn't care about anything else right now. Her goal was to get Jin Shu to come to the dungeon. As long as Jin Shu came, she could seize the opportunity to get Jin Shu to release her.
After all, she was also a time traveler, and no one knew history better than her. As long as she yielded and begged for mercy, she would definitely be able to get Jin Shu to release her.
But all of this depends on Jin Shu coming.
But soon, Liang Qingqing's last hope was also shattered.
Jin Shu didn't come, but her imperial edict did.
From then on, the Marquis and his wife had no further connection with her. She would be released from prison after her three-year imprisonment period, but she would never be allowed to set foot in the main city of the Northern Kingdom again.
On the day they were kicked out, the Marquis and his wife were still crying and begging to see Jin Shu.
It's clear they really regret it; they're filled with deep regret.
For the rest of their lives, this family, who were afraid of death, would continue to live in endless regret, watching their daughter, who had become the ruler of a country, yet never being able to touch her.
As for Huangfu Rong and Liang Qingqing, the former emperor and empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they can forget about ever leaving prison in this lifetime.
Jin Shu didn't kill them, because that would be too easy on them.
To spare their lives, to let them live with the last glimmer of hope for restoring their kingdom, in pain and despair, is more cruel than to kill them.
After dealing with the remaining forces of the Great Zhou, all the kingdoms under heaven surrendered within the next three years, and the territory of the Northern Kingdom covered all of the Central Plains and surrounding areas.
The true unification of the world.
At this time, Jin Shu was only in her early twenties, yet she once again stood at the peak.
In fact, her mission was accomplished the day the Great Zhou surrendered.
What followed was entirely Jin Shu's doing.
Since I'm just idling around anyway, and there's so much time in the day, why not set myself a small goal: to unify the world?
Now that she has almost achieved her small goals, Jin Shu has started studying people's livelihood.
Jin Shu can't stay idle. Today she's researching a cross-river bridge, tomorrow she'll come up with an asphalt road.
In short, she is willing to put in the effort to research anything that is currently within the reach of her production capacity.
In just a few years, the North has experienced its second technological revolution, and the overall living standards of its citizens have improved by more than a dozen levels.
Jin Shu fell ill the year the steam train was invented.
Even God probably couldn't stand such an outrageous revolutionary process, so He punished Jin Shu by giving her an incurable disease.
Actually, it's not that it's untreatable.
But then Jin Shu thought again, why bother with all that effort? I've had enough of this life anyway.
Power and wealth—things that everyone pursues throughout their lives—she had already obtained ten thousand years ago.
When Jin Shu started to feel a bit tired from her 48-hour superpower, she knew it was time to leave.
On the day Jin Shu collapsed, many people gathered around her hospital bed.
Zhou Yinghuai stood to her left, and Mu Han stood to her right. The whole Northern Kingdom knew about their thoughts. The usually arrogant Mu Han even had the idea of moving into the harem, but Jin Shu did not give him any chance.
Zhou Yinghuai remained silent, but his actions showed that he was willing to be one of Jin Shu's men, even if he had to share her with others, as long as he could stay by her side.
Of course, neither of them got what they wanted in the end.
"The country is in your hands now. Do a good job and don't let me down."
Not long after leaving those words, Jin Shu passed away in her sleep.
Before leaving, she left behind three books, which detailed the development direction of the northern country over the next hundred years.
And so, the legendary Empress Jin Shu passed away.
Her legendary life has been passed down through generations. Everyone in the world knows this great monarch who expanded the territory and unified the world, and her history is named the Prosperous Era of Anjiang.

"Congratulations! Another task completed!"
Compared to his initial cold, mechanical voice, Arnold's voice now has a noticeable increase in emotion.
Jin Shu could even hear a hint of the boy's cheerfulness in his voice.
"You completed this task exceptionally well, perfectly utilizing the advantages provided by the 48-hour system, and achieving a 300% higher efficiency than expected."
You're really amazing. In the next world, you can make one request, and I'll grant it as long as it's not unreasonable.
Jin Shu's voice was light and airy.
"Okay, I'll see how things go later. The next mission can start now."
"You can take a break; your performance has far exceeded my expectations."
Jin Shu yawned.
"Take a break? What for? I'm all alone."
Jin Shu rested, not knowing what to do. In this chaotic space, apart from Arno's voice, there was no other sound.
She didn't want to be alone here, so every time she woke up, Jin Shu would take the initiative to ask to start the next task.
At least you can find some fun in the mission world.
Arno remained silent for a while.
"Indeed, I will seriously consider what you just said. It is indeed too lonely for you to be here all alone."
Jin Shu knew that Arno always kept his word, so she nodded.
"Okay, thank you."
"Then close your eyes and get ready, the next world is about to begin."
Jin Shu closed her eyes again, surrendering her entire body and letting the familiar dizziness wash over her.

"Dry weather, be careful with fire!"
With a crisp gong sound, Jin Shu suddenly opened her eyes. Before she could fully regain consciousness, her body had already curled up involuntarily, and her cough was heart-wrenching.
Jin Shu had never felt this overworked before.
She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was sitting on a soft couch, with old, yellowed cushions behind her. Looking down, she saw that her hands were thin and bony, and she was holding a handkerchief in her hand.
When she coughed, she couldn't help but pick up a handkerchief and cover her mouth, coughing in a suppressed and careful manner.
Suddenly, Jin Shu felt a warmth on the handkerchief. Looking down, she saw a pool of scarlet blood.
She frowned, silently clenched her handkerchief, and looked around at her surroundings without changing her expression.
The small, square room was decorated in an antique style, with carved beams and painted rafters, a simple zither and ancient tea set; at a glance, one could tell that this was the room of a young lady from a noble family.
At this moment, three children who looked to be about the same age were kneeling in front of her.
