She was well aware of what would happen if she stabbed a little more into her chest.

But at the same time, she also knew very clearly that if she did not complete the request that Shen Hancheng had made difficult for her on purpose, the following hundred military batons would similarly take her life.

The only thing she could do was put herself to death and gain the opportunity to live on!

This was a gamble, a gamble between life and death!

However, if he wanted to escape unscathed and live a peaceful life, then — he would have to pass through the thorns of the mountain and step out of a blood path.

When her wings were full and her edge was revealed, it would be time for her to freely fly around and let herself roam about!

Old Emperor's eyes were gloomy, as he looked at Su Jinruo quietly, and did not say a word.

Afraid that the scene would get too bloody, Princess Mingyue quickly covered her face with her hands. However, she was unable to cover her eyes, which were filled with hope for a good show.

She prayed in her heart: If this Su Jinruo died, she would personally set up a grave for him. To thank him for driving that arrogant Seventh Brother out of the palace.

In less than a second, she was disappointed.

It was unknown when Shen Hancheng had gotten close to him, but he had suddenly grabbed onto Su Jinruo's wrist that held the arrow.

Blood splattered as the arrow pierced her chest.

Su Jinruo frowned, bit his lips, and did not say a word.

Shen Hancheng lightly swept across Su Jinruo's chest, and lightly tapped her finger on the other side to stop the bleeding.

Everyone present listened to Shen Hancheng's evaluation of Su Jinruo and did not comment.

Even the court officials who looked down on Su Jinruo at the start had a whole new level of respect for him.

After all, he had the courage to make a move on his own heart, and he didn't hesitate to do so …

Su Jinruo's lowered eyes twitched. She knew that she had won the bet.

Lifting his eyes to look at him, Su Jinruo's gaze was calm and serene.

She spoke blandly, "If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I would lose my life."

Shen Hancheng's eyes shone with a faint light as he looked at her quietly.

Looking at the people in front of him, there were probably only a few of them who were slightly shorter than him.

Furthermore, his appearance was not something that could stun others with a single glance.

She could only be considered delicate and pretty, just that pair of eyes …

Like a cloud in the abyss, it was so misty that it was hard to guess, hard to probe deep into Jinruo.

Available...

Even though he had hidden it well, even though he had hidden it well …

Where did he get the courage to challenge absolute power?

Shen Hancheng laughed sarcastically, and suddenly bent his body towards Su Jinruo.

The expression in Su Jinruo's eyes slightly changed, and his feet subconsciously retreated.

Yet, he was firmly grabbed by Shen Hancheng's pair of firm and powerful arms, and pulled her into his embrace without a doubt.

Su Jinruo's eyelashes trembled slightly as her whole body stiffened in pain.

The distance between them was only an inch, and the air they exhaled was intertwined with each other.

Don't be ambiguous.

The surrounding air seemed to have become stagnant.

Princess Xiwei's expression was extremely strange, she then opened her mouth: "Seventh Brother, could it be that you're a good man?"

She would say this, not without reason.

Seventh Brother could not touch girls ever since he was young. Before he went missing, he had a gentle personality and even chatted with girls. After he went missing and returned to the palace, he had simply become a different person!

Savage and bloodthirsty, to a woman, it was not to be respectful from a distance, but to kill close by!

But now, under the gazes of everyone present, he forcefully embraced a man with an ambiguous posture!

This, it was really hard to prevent her from thinking wrongly …

At the moment when the two of them were in a stalemate, the various ministers' minds had already thought of hundreds of ways as they lowered their eyes.

"There's no need to talk about risking my life. This king only wants to ask the Master Su a question."

Shen Hancheng looked down at her, his gaze deep and profound. "From the very beginning, where did Master Su's enmity towards this king come from?"
