Even if the emperor and he were not enemies, Yu Chenfeng knew that for the sake of the people of Luosuo Kingdom, he would never let Shu Jiaying go.
Regarding this matter, Yu Chenfeng only hoped that after Shu Zhenmeng was sacrificed in the river, all disasters would not happen. If this was true, even if he could never get back the throne that belonged to him, he would accept it.
…
After returning to the General's Mansion, Shu Zhenmeng, who had been unconscious on horseback, finally woke up. However, when she saw that she was actually back in the Rose Courtyard of the Ningcheng General's Mansion, she screamed uncontrollably: "How could this happen? Didn't I already return to Guangming Village... Why am I still here? Ah! Why..."
Like a madman, Shu Zhen dreamed of escaping from the room, but her door had been locked from the outside, and no one responded no matter how she called out.
Shu Zhenmeng looked at the room where she had once killed someone in horror, and she squatted on the ground in pain.
"Wuwuwu... please let me go. I don't want to live here. Wuwuwu... I'm scared of this room. Please, please let me go quickly..."
It was very quiet outside the door. No matter how Shu Zhenmeng called out, no one responded. She knew that she was tired of crying and calling out and fell asleep on the ground. At this time, Zhuang Tianming, who was hiding in the dark, came out.
Zhuang Tianming poked a hole in the paper-pasted window and looked into the house through the window. He saw Shu Zhenmeng lying on the ground. Although he felt bad, he had no choice but to harden his heart for the sake of his most beloved Zhuang Yueru.
Standing outside the door, he muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, I owe you and your daughter too much in this life, but I can't do anything about it. If there's an afterlife, I'll repay you then!"
Suddenly, a head popped out of the window. Shu Zhenmeng yelled at Zhuang Tianming outside the window, "I don't care who you're sorry to or who you're not. This has nothing to do with me. Let me go!"
"When...did you wake up?"
Zhuang Tianming was startled and took a few steps back.
Shu Zhenmeng wanted to get closer to him, but the window was the biggest obstacle. She could only continue to curse at the window: "Old bastard, I've already told you that I'm not your daughter. Why did you bring me here? I know you sent me to the palace not to marry the emperor, but to kill me. You old bastard, you are so cruel. You can't bear to let your daughter die for you, but you let me die in her place. I'm telling you, no way! If you don't let me go, I'll die right now!"
As she spoke, Shu Zhenmeng took off the hairpin on her head and pointed it at her neck.
Zhuang Tianming quickly dissuaded him, "Don't...Zhen Meng, if you died now, do you know how many people would be buried with you? Your name list has been reported to the Emperor. If you die, not only will I die, but your adoptive parents in Guangming Village will also die. Do you want them to be buried with you?"
"What? I'm dead, so what does it have to do with my parents?"
"How can it be none of their business? Haven't you heard that if one person makes a mistake, the entire clan will be punished? You can die easily now, but after you die, everyone who has anything to do with you will be buried with you. Do you really want to see such a scene?"
clang!
Zhuang Tianming's words scared Shu Zhenmeng so much that she dropped her hairpin, but she was really unwilling to die like this. In fact, the person who really wanted to die was Shu Jiaying.
