With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Suddenly, a child jumped out of one of the carriages, followed by several other children jumping out of different carriages.

Don't be fooled by their childlike appearances; they are all adults at heart. No one understands this better than Azhen, and so she observes it all with indifference.

The child leading the group was Shen Jianming, Shen Si'an's eldest son. Just like his father, he was rather dim-witted. Even as he grew up, he didn't mature much.

Shen Jianming stared at Azhen with shining eyes, as if he had seen a savior, and quickly ran to Azhen.

He originally intended to pounce on Azhen, but when he was still ten steps away, he couldn't take a single step, his face filled with fear.

The other children were the same; they suddenly calmed down.

Only Shen Jianming hesitated before calling out "Mother" again. Pei Heng suddenly sneered, "What a naive fellow." They had no connection with Qin Zhen in this life. With this guy revealing his identity like this, it was easy to imagine that their days ahead wouldn't be easy.

You idiot! Just as stupid as Shen Si'an.

"Young Master Shen, is this your child? Keep him in check." Azhen's words were calm, but they sent a chill down Shen Si'an's spine.

He no longer dared to provoke Qin Zhen and shouted at Shen Jianming.

But Shen Jianming had finally met his mother from his past life, hoping that the child's appearance would soften her heart. He couldn't possibly back down just because Shen Si'an scolded him.

Thinking about all that he had experienced in his life, Shen Jianming felt only bitterness.

In his past life, he was the eldest son of a marquis, getting whatever he wanted and enjoying immense power and prestige in the capital. His father had a good relationship with Pei Hui, who had ascended the throne, so he truly lived a life of unbridled power.

Unlike this life, where his father dislikes him, he can't go out, and he has to squeeze into the same courtyard with many other children. Forget about going out to play; even going to school is impossible. For some reason, in his father's eyes, he's just an eyesore.

If he could, his father would definitely choose to kill him.

He believed that his mother loved him dearly in his past life, and that if he saw her again, she would feel sorry for him after seeing what had happened to him.

"Mother, are you really that heartless? I heard you also have memories from the past, so you must remember me and know that I am your son. Right?" Shen Jianming tried to evoke Azhen's memories, but he had the wrong person to talk to.

"I am not your mother."

"But I helped you get back."

"What, you can't even bear it? Aren't your current predicaments similar to what your mother went through?"

Azhen laughed: "I went through so much trouble to bring you back, not so you could live a good life, child, you've come to the wrong person."

In an instant, Shen Jianming's blood seemed to freeze.

He only knew that she was responsible for his father's situation, but he never expected that he could return from the second life because of her!
Even if he were incredibly stupid, he would know that it was impossible to win her pity.

Thinking back to her second incarnation, wasn't she also imprisoned in that seemingly magnificent palace?
He didn't understand it when he was a child, but he must have figured it out when he grew up.

But as long as it doesn't affect him, he certainly won't go against his father over these things; that wouldn't do him any good. He has so many brothers and sisters; if he angers his father, he won't have a good life.

Thinking of this, Shen Jianming felt even colder.

So she won't care about him!

The other children, who had hoped to gain Azhen's pity, froze, their faces filled with despair.

Pei Heng sat in the carriage, a cold smile still on his pale face. See? He knew this would be the result. Only Shen Jianming would be so foolish.

He was already ten years old. When he grew a few more years old, he would have to find a way to escape from his father's side. Otherwise, he was really afraid that one day his father would lose some of his control and would definitely kill him.

He needs to prepare in advance.

Even if his father is no longer the emperor and he is no longer a prince in this life, as long as he lives, he must find a way out.

Azhen glanced at the children before her and suddenly realized something: their luck was extremely low, practically nonexistent. Even if she didn't intervene, their lives would still be miserable.

Pei Hui and the others were in the same boat; their luck had been steadily declining since their first meeting. Could there be some connection between this and their current situation?

And recently she also discovered something else: the power of the Pregnancy System is weakening. It used to guarantee that Pei Hui and the others wouldn't suffer, but that might not be the case in the future.

Fortunately, they had endured what they had to endure, so it was nothing to Azhen, and she wouldn't waste her energy maintaining Pei Hui and the others' situation.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.

Soon, Azhen saw Jiang Xun riding back on horseback. He was also leading another horse, and the person sitting on that horse, unable to move, was Ye Shuangzhou.

Seeing this, Ye Shuangzhou's children remained silent.

This is because Ye Shuangzhou wasn't very kind to his children in this lifetime. If they hadn't been restricted, they would have faced more than just cold treatment.

"Zhenzhen, I'm back, let's go." Jiang Xun came to Zhenzhen and grabbed Ye Shuangzhou. He didn't think he was capable enough to let someone escape, but the other party's previous escape had made Zhenzhen wait too long, which displeased him.

As Azhen and Jiang Xun left, Pei Hui and the others, who watched them go, neither stopped them nor did they intend to save Ye Shuangzhou.

Having suffered so many losses, they had no desire to make a futile struggle.

"What about the children in those two cars?" Shen Si'an asked.

Pei Hui said, "We won't lose it, let's take it with us."

He had just tried it, but the idea was immediately restricted; he could only carry it with him.

Pei Hui had long suspected that they would only be free from restrictions when Qin Zhen died in the second life.

That means we'll have to wait another ten years.

Ten years—just thinking about that time makes him feel like he can't get through it.

At first, he was angry, frustrated, and wanted revenge.

Now all that's left is numbness and regret.

“They should all have been brought back,” Mo Ying said. “They don’t need to be treated like ordinary children anymore. Since we can’t get rid of them, we might as well do something about it.”

Pei Hui chuckled, "That's true."

Even knowing that those children were his pride from a past life, he had long since given up on having descendants and being proud of them after what he had experienced in this life.

Jiang Xun settled the people who had suffered in a relatively remote place in Cang County, which was not too far from the capital, about a five-day journey away.

"Jiang Xun, where are you taking me? Are you taking me to that old man's grave?" Ye Shuangzhou asked, her face showing no fear, but rather an expression of facing death.

He felt that death would be better, a kind of liberation.

Jiang Xun glanced at him: "You wish!"

Ye Shuangzhou's heart sank. What was Jiang Xun going to do to him?

All he knew was that he had been poisoned a lot. Ever since Jiang Xun captured him, he had been poisoned every day, and only after confirming that he wouldn't die could he feel at ease.

He thought the other party wanted to return the methods he had used on Luo Feng, but now the situation seemed to be wrong.

When Ye Shuangzhou was taken to a courtyard and saw people basking in the sun, smiling foolishly, whose faces looked somewhat familiar, a chill ran down his spine.

Those who were originally leisurely and relaxed turned ferocious with their expressions when they saw Ye Shuangzhou, staring at him with eyes like those of a savage beast.

He seemed to see gaping, blood-red mouths. (End of Chapter)
