His life was saved.

It's time to go.
Since it was confirmed that the shogunate had used an Onmyoji (yin-yang master) to create a smokescreen, Su Ruojin naturally decided to go along.
Before setting off, Tachibana Chiyo called Su Ruojin back and took out a white jade pendant from her bosom, handing it to Su Ruojin.
“Your Highness, this is the Emperor’s token. Some people in the Shogunate will know what to do when they see this token.”
Su Ruojin was slightly surprised. Tachibana Chiyo represented the Emperor, and her move was tantamount to handing over the Emperor's trump card that he had placed in the Shogunate.
Does this emperor truly trust her that much?
There's no reason for it.
But at that moment, I didn't have time to delve into those details.
"Thank you." Su Ruojin knew this would make things better, and she wouldn't refuse the Emperor's kindness.
She will repay him when she has the chance.

Late at night, at the Shogunate.
Deyi Kangren sat in the room, fully clad in armor.
The number of servants inside and outside the shogunate has increased considerably.
He was waiting, waiting for Su Ruojin and the others to come over.
"Uncle, will they really come?" Tokugi Yasuhito asked, looking at Tokugi Shingo, who was also dressed in armor.
Deyi Xinwu remained calm and composed. "General, please rest assured. We have the younger sister of the Princess Consort of Great Chu in our hands. She will definitely come."
At this moment, a servant rushed in, saying, "General, Elder, the people from Great Chu have arrived."
"Where?" Deyi Kangren asked.
"In front of the government office gate."
Tokugi Shingo was slightly surprised, "In front of the mansion gate?"
Previously, Deyi Xinwu thought that Su Ruojin and the others would definitely act secretly and sneak into the mansion if they wanted to rescue people, so he set up traps and manpower around the dungeon and even in many places in the mansion.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruojin and her group did not play by the rules and came directly to their door.
Did they really think they could stand up to the mighty Yamato Shogun with their small force?
Were the people of Great Chu too naive, or too ignorant of their own limitations?
"Let's go take a look."
When Su Ruojin, riding on horseback, saw Deyi Xinwu and Deyi Kangren appear before them in full armor, she laughed, "Oh, general, elder brother, are you going out to fight?"
Deyi Kangren glared fiercely at Su Ruojin, "Su Ruojin, I respected you as the Princess Consort of the Great Chu, and kindly invited you to my residence as guests, treating you to good food and drink. Not only were you ungrateful, but you also left the Shogunate without saying goodbye and forcibly took away my Shogunate's Imperial Household Office. I haven't even come to ask you for your people yet, and you still dare to come here!"
"Hand over the Imperial Palace now, or my Great He will be your sworn enemy!"
Su Ruojin chuckled, "So the way Yamato treats its guests is to imprison them in the mansion. I've really learned something new."
As for Midai-sho, I didn't forcibly take her away; she left the shogunate voluntarily.
General, if it were me, or any woman in the world, I would never stay with a man who harms my child.
Instead of reflecting on your own evil deeds and driving your woman away, you come to me demanding her back. Don't you find that ridiculous?
“Princess Consort of Great Chu, the Imperial Palace is a member of my shogunate. You took her away without the general’s permission. You have no respect for my shogunate at all. Aren’t you afraid of affecting the relationship between my Yamato and Great Chu?” Tokugi Shingo also spoke coldly.
"Elders, what's wrong? When you imprisoned us in the Shogunate, weren't you afraid of affecting the relationship between Yamato and Chu?" Su Ruojin sneered.
"What does the Princess Consort want? Does she want to start a war with my Great He? Don't forget, this is Great He, not your Great Chu!" Deyi Kangren's voice was full of threat.
