After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

"They are all your Majesty's subjects, protecting your country!" Shen Yu shouted angrily. This was the first time he got completely angry today. His originally sick face turned red at this moment.

"So what? Defending the country is their duty!" Emperor Showa said frantically, "So I give you the right to choose. For those soldiers, sacrificing you is nothing."

"What's more, you are right. They are my people. It is their duty to make sacrifices for me!"

"You're crazy, my royal brother, you're too confused!" Shen Yu couldn't believe it. His royal brother, whom he respected in the past, would actually say such outrageous words. He didn't look like a wise ruler at all.

The two brothers were talking quite loudly, but no one dared to enter the hall. The maids and eunuchs outside the door all walked away immediately, for fear that they would hear something they shouldn't and end up in danger of being killed.

The more Xu Zhao listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She was afraid that in the next second Shen Yu would lose control and grab the sword to kill Emperor Showa.

"In fact, they could have all lived in peace, but you got involved with them. Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

Emperor Showa was an emperor, and he had plenty of ways to make officials at all levels "withhold" military pay. At that time, he could just pick someone to be a scapegoat, and the people would only think that he was able to judge right from wrong, and he would not be cursed for all eternity.

It was precisely because Shen Yu knew this very well that he was angry.

His royal brother was obviously a wise ruler, but why did he become so hateful once power and the throne were involved?

He remembered that he and his royal brother had spent some time together as brothers, but these beautiful memories could not withstand the emperor's suspicion and jealousy.

Perhaps that childhood experience was truly unforgettable for the emperor, or perhaps his birth truly hurt the emperor.

"I understand..."

Compared with his own life, the lives of thousands of soldiers far away at the border are more important, and tens of thousands of people in Yue Kingdom also need their protection.

Shen Yu resigned himself to his fate, raised his head, and closed his eyes.

The final decision was made.

"I will send the things to your house, and you can end your life on your own. As for your body, I promise to place it next to the coffins of my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress. This will be considered as fulfilling their love for you."

Since I couldn't enjoy the love of my father and mother during my lifetime, I will accompany them well after my death.

"Bangdang..."

Emperor Showa took back the sword that was on Shen Yu's neck and threw it to the ground without mercy. Then he waved at Shen Yu, signaling him to retreat.

Shen Yu bowed immediately but did not leave, revealing his true feelings: "In fact, I am not afraid of death. I just want to be with the one I love and live a free life. But fate did not allow me to fulfill my wish. I couldn't even see her for the last time. I never imagined that I would get this position. This position has too many restrictions. I don't like it at all."

At the end of his speech, Shen Yu even felt a little exhausted, not sure if it was because he was too weak or because he was too angry.

"If I can use my life to exchange for your Majesty's love for the border generals, I am willing to help your Majesty fulfill his wish."

In the past ten years, Chaoxi has not appeared again. Perhaps, she will never appear again. It would be too painful for me to spend the rest of my life waiting.

Rather than spending the rest of my life waiting, I might as well fulfill my royal brother's wish. It can also be regarded as the last thing I can do for the border generals and the people of Yue Kingdom.

Shen Yu knelt on the ground and paid his last respects to Emperor Showa, fulfilling the duty between the monarch and his subject and ending their last brotherhood.

Shen Yu stood up and walked out of the palace without looking back. When he was near the palace door, he heard a voice behind him, "Wu Jue, don't blame my brother. My brother is really scared."

Sitting at the top of the social ladder, everyone thought that was the pinnacle of power. However, only Emperor Showa himself knew that even as the ruler of a country, he was still walking on thin ice.

He actually knew that his royal brother had no intention of rebellion, but just because he hadn't done so in the past didn't mean he wouldn't have any intention of rebellion in the future.

He has always kept a secret in his heart, a secret known only to him besides his father, mother, and the imperial teacher.

The two of them were connected by blood, and it was obvious that he had planned to reach this point a long time ago, but now that it was actually about to be carried out, he felt a pain in his heart.

Emperor Showa's words before leaving did not affect Shen Yu. He walked straight out of the hall without looking back and without stopping.

Seeing this, Xu Zhao hurried to follow him. She didn't want to walk back to Prince Anding's Palace.

But without their knowledge, Emperor Showa once again touched Su Yao's portrait.

His eyes were still filled with longing. "I have a secret that I have kept in my heart for many years. I have never told you this because I cannot let someone who knows this secret live. So I have never told you. Please don't blame me."

"When Wu Jue was born, the Imperial Master said he would be able to bring peace and stability to the country in the future. It was because of this prophecy that my father wanted to depose me as the Crown Prince and make Wu Jue the Crown Prince instead. But what have I done wrong? If I am deposed, how will I survive? So I cannot keep him."

Even the highly respected imperial teacher passed away when the late emperor passed away.

No one knows this secret anymore.

"If the court officials knew, my throne would be uneasy and I would be unable to sleep or eat peacefully."

"So, don't blame me for not telling you."

It's a pity that Xu Zhao followed Shen Yu. Otherwise, given her current condition, it would be a good opportunity to find out the secrets of Emperor Showa.

Xu Zhao followed Shen Yu back to Prince Anding's Palace.

What Emperor Showa said also arrived when they returned to the palace.

Shen Yu sat on a stone bench in his yard. On the stone table next to him was a tray with a pot of wine and a dagger on it.

Even with your toes you can guess that this pot of wine is poisonous.

In order to give Shen Yu the dignity he deserved, Emperor Showa did not arrange Bai Ling for Shen Yu.

Butler Zheng and Mingkang stood in front of Shen Yu.

Mingkang sobbed softly, covering his face with his hands, his tears filled with reluctance and sadness.

Butler Zheng shook his head repeatedly and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion. Your Majesty is so cruel that he completely disregards the feelings of brothers and sisters." After saying this, he sighed silently again.

Emperor Showa was the emperor, and the people had to act according to his mood. Moreover, at this time, it was just a family matter, so how could others interfere?

The palace is preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve banquet, but Prince Anding's Mansion is deserted.

"Uncle Zheng, is there any food? Let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together." Shen Yu seemed not to see the things on the stone table, and his tone was nonchalant.

Butler Zheng hadn't expected the prince to be so calm, so he said bluntly, "The cook prepared a lot before she left. Mingkang and I will go and heat it up. Your Highness, please wait a moment."

All the servants in the palace were dismissed, and the cook was naturally no exception. However, the cook had served for many years and was worried that the prince would be hungry, so she prepared a lot of dishes before leaving. Now they could be eaten immediately as long as they were heated up.
