"That's right. I don't want anything that disregards human life to happen in Luosuo Country, and the person leading this matter is the emperor."
"Ah Chen, I understand your feelings very well. Sacrificing a living person to the river god... that's truly too cruel. Since it can't be changed, why don't we not attend such a ceremony tomorrow?"
Yu Chenfeng shook his head.
"No, I must attend the ceremony because I am of royal blood. Yingying, I just feel so overwhelmed at the thought of not being able to save that innocent girl, especially since that girl is the daughter of my savior."
Hearing Yu Chenfeng say this, Shu Jiaying felt uncomfortable, but given the current situation, their abilities were limited, and she couldn't think of a way to rescue the girl for the time being.
With a light sigh, Shu Jiaying leaned against Yu Chenfeng.
"Ah Chen, now you know it's the Queen Mother who wants to harm you, and Aunt Zhao has also started to target me. The fertility formula she prepared for me contains a drug that paralyzes the nerves. If I drink this drug for a long time, I will gradually become dull, and eventually my brain nerves will atrophy."
Yu Chenfeng had long expected that the formula for fertility was definitely not a good thing. He did not expect that Zhao Mama's heart was so vicious. He was so angry that he stood up from the bed.
"Achen, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that Yu Chenfeng's clenched fists had blue veins on them, Shu Jiaying quickly grabbed Yu Chenfeng's wrist.
Yu Chenfeng gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill this vicious woman!"
"Don't... If you kill Nanny Zhao now, who will testify against the Queen Mother when the time comes? If you openly confront the Queen Mother, you will undoubtedly become the enemy of all the ministers. They will then accuse you of attempting to regicide and usurp the throne, and you'll never be able to turn things around."
What Shu Jiaying said now was also what he was concerned about, but Yu Chenfeng really couldn't stand Zhao Ma's persecution of Shu Jiaying. He could die, but he would never allow the woman he loved to be killed.
Because he was so angry, Yu Chenfeng's knuckles made a "cracking" sound.
"Yingying, what do you think we should do now?"
Shu Jiaying wasn't worried about this. She said casually, "Actually, Aunt Zhao can drug me, and I can drug her too. She wants me to become slow-witted and eventually die of brain atrophy. Then I can make her confused, and then I can control all her actions."
“…”
Although Shu Jiaying had a gentle smile on her face, why did Yu Chenfeng suddenly feel cold all over?
From this moment on, Yu Chenfeng finally understood one thing, maybe his wife is really not someone to be trifled with!
Because of this realization, Yu Chenfeng felt a little better at the moment. Holding Shu Jiaying's shoulders, he said with emotion: "Yingying, I'm lucky that I married you. I'm really lucky!"
"Silly... stop doing this, huh?"
After taking a look at the dark sky outside the window, Shu Jiaying gently stroked Yu Chenfeng's cheek.
"Achen, it's already very late. Let's get some rest. No matter what happens tomorrow, don't worry, your wife will be there with you to face it together."
“Yingying…”
She was moved to tears again, but Shu Jiaying didn't want to see her man crying. She blew out the candle calmly, took Yu Chenfeng's hand, and they lay down on the bed together.
