The host is no longer a human today.

Seeing that he had listened, Lin Yuji breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "I have heard that some people have very awkward personalities. They say they don't like something, but in reality they always half-heartedly agree to it... Forget it, sir, you have your own decision to make. I will take my leave now."

Lin Yuji left, but Jiang Song did not. He stood there and glanced at Yan Changsui cautiously.

"Jiang Song, tell me, should I do this?" Yan Changsui suddenly asked in an ambiguous tone.

"I...I think that since things have come to this, it won't hurt to give it a try..." Jiang Song shrank his neck. It was better than looking disheartened now!

Yan Changsui murmured to himself, "Yes, if he really did... then this period of time would be a shame for him. Instead of slowly waiting for the butcher's knife to fall, it would be better to indulge himself before that."

Shen Zuixue didn't know yet that she would soon be sent to the small dark room, and was still busy handling government affairs.

Heaven Prison.

"I heard that you want to see me?" A clear female voice sounded in the sky prison. Shen Zhijin looked up and saw a man in plain red clothes standing outside, looking down at him.

"Hongying...you're here? You've changed a lot now..." Shen Zhijin looked at the changed Hongying with mixed feelings, but he still remembered why he wanted to see her.

"Red Eagle, I don't know why you betrayed me, but if this is what you want, I can let it go. But, can you please ask the emperor for a favor for me, considering that we once loved each other?"

"After all... I was implicated as well."

Shen Zhijin lowered his eyes slightly, feeling uncomfortable.

However, he was not wrong, if it weren't for his brother, he would never have been involved in this fight.

"Oh ~ mutual affection? For your sake?" Hongying sneered, looking at the man in front of him, his disdain growing even more.

"Shen Zhijin, why do you think I would sacrifice myself and betray you just because of your little bit of hypocritical love? Do you think you deserve it?"

She really didn't understand why Shen Zhijin was so confident that she would be willing to enter the palace and be a pawn for him.

"I have changed? Indeed, I have changed, but for the better. I can now control my own life and no longer have to be a canary under you men."

Shen Zhijin frowned, somewhat disapprovingly, as if looking at an ignorant child, "Hongying, the emperor is the supreme ruler, and he will have many concubines in the future. If you stay with him, he will dislike you one day."

"Oh~ You don't need to worry about that. I stayed with him not because of his beauty, but I guess you won't believe it, right?"

Hongying was too lazy to say anything to him. The men in this world just thought that women were in their hands.

Tease them when they are happy and abandon them when they are unhappy. When they need to be used, they are merciful to them and say a few nice words which are not really nice at all, just wanting them to give up everything.

Why?

They controlled all the upward paths, trying to force women to have only one way to go, which was to cling to men. But she had to fight for a way out for herself in this unfair world!

Before, she always thought that once she succeeded, she would let Shen Zhijin see that she was not the kind of dodder who could only cling to men.

But now that it has really come to this, she has no intention of proving it. Some people have fixed ideas. They will never think that they are wrong, but only think that others are deceiving them.

"Alright, we've already met. I won't ask for mercy. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

"Wait, Red Eagle! You can't do this! A husband and wife who have been together for a long time will be bound by a hundred days of grace..."
