Upon hearing this, Li Zhongyi's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously, "I didn't mean to hide this from Your Majesty. This was all ordered by the Emperor. If the Emperor knew I had betrayed him, he would definitely not let me go! You know, my heart has always been on Your Majesty's side..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wangshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So, you plan to follow me?"
"Yes, Madam, I swear to follow you till death and serve you forever!"
After Li Zhongyi finished speaking, he looked at Shen Wangshu with a pair of burning eyes, his eyes full of expectation, hoping that she would agree.
"Well, I will give you two choices now. The first is to follow me. From now on, you will continue to be the chief eunuch. As long as I don't fall, you will always have no worries about food and clothing.
As for the second one, you have served the late emperor for so many years. Now that the late emperor has passed away, you should go with the late emperor and continue to serve him in the underworld.

"I understand, I understand!"
Li Zhongyi quickly expressed his feelings, his eyes filled with gratitude, "This old slave is willing to go through fire and water for the Empress!"
When Shen Wangshu heard this, the arc of her lips rose even deeper. She turned around gently and said, "Leng Yue, untie our Li Zongguan."
"Yes, my lady."
"Thank you, my lady! Thank you, my lady!"
After Li Zhongyi was untied, he immediately took out the original imperial edict from his body and burned it to ashes in front of Shen Wangshu.
Shen Wangshu was not surprised by his actions. Instead, he smiled and said, "It seems that you have figured it out."
