After speaking, the officer saluted Su Wan and walked towards the distant aircraft. The soldiers followed behind, escorting Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying's right hand had been reattached. Although her five fingers were not yet fully mobile, she could already make a fist. As she walked, she kept looking back at Chu Ming, sobbing uncontrollably.
Su Wan walked to Chu Ming's side and said, "She has been deceiving you all along. Do you still care about her?"
Chu Ming gazed at Zhang Ying's retreating figure and said, "No, I do indeed have a terminal illness, and our relationship is genuine. It's just that she didn't replace my life force; instead, she kept prolonging my life in a hibernation pod. What exactly did Xiao Ying do while I was asleep?"
Su Wan gave a brief overview, and Chu Ming sighed deeply after listening. He looked at Chu Yi and the others running towards him and said, "You must be Chu Yi?"
Chu Yi stood there with his mouth agape, stunned and unsure what to say.
Before him stood the founding emperor of Southern Chu, and for a moment he couldn't decide what to call him. His father's father was called Grandfather, his grandfather's father was called Great-Grandfather, and that was only three generations ago. Chu Ming in front of him was ten generations ago. What should he call him?
Meng Ruliu pinched his arm and whispered, "Forget about seniority, just call me Your Majesty."
Chu Yi then realized what was happening and quickly knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Chu Ming said, "No need for formalities. Xiao Ying has committed many murders, and I hope to use my remaining life to atone for these sins."
Su Wan said, "Zhang Ying orchestrated this whole thing, and even the Emperor was kept in the dark. She's already been arrested, so let's just let it all go."
Zhang Ying was the one driving everything; Chu Ming remained an observer throughout, at most an accomplice. Besides, Chu Ming only had less than a month to live, so there was no need to pursue the matter further.
Wei Jingzhuo stepped forward and took her arm, saying, "Awan, is it all over?"
“Yes, it’s all over.” Su Wan took Meng Ruliu’s arm again. “Let’s go back to the capital of Southern Chu and take a look.”
Just as they were about to take a step, joyful shouts came from afar. Chu Mingyao, Danma, Su Yuze, Granny Cui, and others were running towards them, protected by Lin Qingfeng and other guards. Not far from them, the clone army, in neat formation, was advancing towards the giant crab mech.
Su Wan counted them one by one, and seeing that everyone was safe and sound, she was overjoyed. She pulled Wei Jingzhuo and Meng Ruliu to greet the crowd.
"Brother, Sister Chu, His Highness the Crown Prince, Granny Cui, Guard Lin."
She shouted excitedly, wishing she could call out to everyone she knew.
