Murong Ying turned his head away, not daring to look her in the eyes again. It felt as if a needle was piercing his heart, causing unbearable pain.

He had witnessed the brutal fighting on the battlefield, where the sound of thundering drums and clashing swords intertwined, and the dust and blood splattered in the sky blended together.

The soldiers rushing to the front line never dare to fall down easily. Even if their bodies have been pierced by several swords, they will use their last bit of strength to kill more enemies.

Each of them is eagerly looking forward to the end of the war, peace in the country, and prosperity for the people.

However, the current situation in the court is no less serious than that cruel battlefield.

The enemy countries are eyeing the situation covetously, and the officials are colluding with each other. The emperor is determined to eradicate this evil trend.

If the emperor succeeds, countless families will suffer from the confiscation of their property; but if the emperor fails, Kyoto will surely be in chaos, and countless families will be displaced and the people will fall into dire straits.

Murong Ying had to admit that he really couldn't bear to let Shuangyue face such a miserable scene.

Shimotsuki once said that she hated the patriarchal society. He also clearly remembered that when Shimotsuki played the role of a strong woman in the Fourth Prince's villa, she was much more unrestrained and lively than she is now.

He even felt that Shimotsuki was not acting at that time. That was why she found it so difficult to accept coming to this place where the status of men and women was reversed. This was also the reason why she would rather choose to reincarnate than stay here.

However, killing the one she loved with her own hands was too cruel for Murong Ying.

He could only respond vaguely: "I need to think about it."

Shen Shuangyue responded with "Okay", her eyes full of determination to go home.

There was no conversation for a while. The two sat quietly in the inn, listening to the sounds from the next room.

It was not until he heard the sound of fighting that he stood up and walked back to the door of Room No. 1.

Murong Ying pushed the door open a little and saw Mo Linming lying on the bed. She made a bird call to attract Anye's attention.

Because Mo Linming had to stay in bed all night, Shen Shuangyue had already fed him the antidote to the aphrodisiac. However, the effect of the drug would only take an hour and a half to take effect, which was enough time for the system to extract video materials.

An Ye followed his senior brother silently to the next room. He was still in a subtle state of being out of tune with the world.

Murong Ying poured three cups of tea, placed one in front of Anye, and asked with a hint of laughter, "How do you feel? I told you that you can't just practice assassination skills in the Killer Alliance. People outside are complicated and it's hard to tell good from evil. When you accept a killer order, you have to investigate the other party's purpose and ask clearly. Don't let people take advantage of your words. This time, I asked Shuangyue to teach you a lesson."

Shen Shuangyue immediately cooperated, "Do you feel overwhelmed this time? If you were to accept an order and the other party suddenly hugged you and called you husband, or kissed you, do you think you would be stunned? But in a battle between masters, that moment of stunned silence is enough to determine the winner."

"Thank you, County Lord Shen, for your help." An Ye humbly accepted the guidance of his senior brother and Shen Shuangyue, and his attitude became more serious. "I was rude before, I hope you will forgive me."

"I just hope you won't make any more presumptuous assumptions in the future. Your senior brother is staying in my house as a general's concubine. No matter what I do, it won't harm his reputation. On the contrary, if something goes wrong, people will only say that he's unfaithful, and my reputation will be the only one that will be ruined."

Shen Shuangyue smiled bitterly, "This world is too harsh on women. A single unfavorable message could very well ruin a woman's life, so I hope you'll be more thoughtful and considerate before speaking in the future."

"I remember that." An Ye stood up and saluted Shen Shuangyue. "I was wrong. I wonder what County Lord Shen wants me to do for you? I will go through fire and water for you. I will do it without hesitation."

Shen Shuangyue: "I wouldn't say I'm willing to go through fire and water, but I hope that when you receive assassination orders in the future, if you encounter one to assassinate Mo Linming, you can take it and put on another show like today. By then, Mo Linming will hide his identity, and you can report to the person who placed the order."

Murong Ying continued, "An Ye, actually, a month ago I rejected the olive branch offered by the black market, and some ministers have already submitted a memorial to the emperor, hoping to destroy our Killer Alliance.

Mo Linming has angered the other party recently. I predict that they will order a kill for Mo Linming. The emperor feels guilty about the death of the prime minister and will definitely take action against our assassin alliance. So it is time for our assassin alliance to change its appearance..."

Murong Ying's words directly defined what Shen Shuangyue wanted Anye to help her with as helping the Killer Alliance to change its image.

An Ye couldn't help but feel guilty. Shen Shuangyue cared so much about his senior brother and the Killer Alliance, but he actually thought that she was relying on her beauty to capture his senior brother's heart and use him to do things for her.

The reason why he dared to make sarcastic remarks at will was because he didn't take Shuangyue seriously.

Therefore, after sending An Ye away, Shen Shuangyue smiled helplessly, "Murong Ying, I can get the emperor to open up the imperial examinations to women, and I can spread books like "Anti-Female Rings", but I can't change everyone's mind."

She asked the waiter for two pots of wine and drank by herself, "Many people think my current life is enviable, but I still find it difficult to fit in.

When I was little, I complained about my environment. My father looked down on my mother because she couldn't give birth to a son, and I often heard people say things like, "How dare you sit at the table and eat when you can't even give birth to a boy?"

But then times changed and women awakened.

I watched step by step as women no longer felt ashamed of menstruation, dared to speak out when they were abused by men, and no longer cursed women whose chastity was ruined, but instead said that the victims were innocent.

Women understand the importance of self-reliance and self-reliance, and learn to love themselves.”

She downed her glass of wine in one gulp. "It's true that those who have seen the light can never return to darkness. We call your place a feudal society. When I was little, I was a tragedy caught in the remnants of feudal thinking. Now that I've grown up, I have a future with infinite possibilities."

Murong Ying tightly gripped the wine glass, not knowing how to respond.

Shuangyue's purpose was too obvious, but he could clearly feel the wavering in his heart.

"Murong Ying, do you think love is important?

I once heard a saying that men conquer the world with their abilities, while women can own the world by simply conquering men.

It sounds like a shortcut, but no one would say that love fades with beauty, and who can guarantee that they will remain faithful throughout their lives?

"Murong Ying, I was also moved by the story in the book where the Emperor said to his beloved concubine, 'This is the kingdom I fought for you.' But in the end, it's just empty words. The only woman in this world who can make the Emperor willing to hold your hand forever and grow old with you is the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"Murong Ying, do you mean sad?"

Murong Ying finally couldn't help but grab Shuangyue's hand and said in a deep voice: "Stop drinking!"

"How can I relieve my worries? Only Du Kang." Shen Shuangyue seemed a little drunk. She leaned over and kissed the back of Murong Ying's hand: "Be good, let go and let me continue drinking."

Murong Ying withdrew her hand as if it was burned, and her breathing suddenly quickened.

His eyes darkened as he looked at Shuangyue, whose eyes were blurry. He raised the corners of his eyes and asked in a female voice, "Sister, do you want to hug your sister with abdominal muscles?"

Shen Shuangyue's heart beat wildly, and she admitted that there were also girls with abdominal muscles in the harem of a certain audio platform.

"Frost Moon, I can crush rocks on my chest. Do you want to put the rocks on top?"

Shen Shuangyue swallowed, and in her distracted state she heard Murong Ying continue, "You can also choose a smaller red brick."

“!!!” The scene suddenly appeared in her mind!!!

The trembling red bricks shattered and scattered on the white skin...
