Chapter 562 - 541 First Update
Prime Minister Lin’s people were the first to look in astonishment toward the direction of the Wen Family Army, to such an extent that the Wen Family Army was shameless! The body of the Fourth Prince was not yet cold, and he was of their own bloodline, yet they sought glory by betraying their master; it was utterly despicable.
That person was the killer of the Fourth Prince, the killer of the Crown Prince, the enemy responsible for the downfall of Nanzheng State!
At this moment, the Wen Family Army had no interest in looking at others; survival was the most crucial thing. In the long river of history, which surviving family’s brocade wasn’t crawling with lice?
Whose chest can be opened, whose conscience can be weighed?
Zheng Nianru slowly moved forward, capturing everyone’s attention. Struggling, Zheng Nianru lifted the upper body of Zheng Congyuan. Xing Yu wanted to help but was refused by Zheng Nianru. Zheng Nianru remained so calm that even Xing Yu next to her felt no sadness. Yet, this apparent anomaly made Xing Yu anxious, even preferring the Commandery Princess to cry loudly, as it would be more reassuring than this.
But Zheng Nianru did not cry. She slowly used her sleeve to wipe the dust-covered face of Zheng Congyuan, bit by bit, using up all her patience.
A young man not far away watched quietly; having spent some time with her, he knew her capricious nature—angry when she wanted to be, happy when she desired, never wronging herself.
But why wasn’t she sad? Even when Zheng Haoyuan died, he could see the pity and reluctance on her face. However, now, her expression was so calm it was frightening.
For the first time, the young man felt fear and couldn’t help but step forward, wanting to say something.
