Chapter 248: The Way She Looks
The Tianshi Emperor looking at everything from a distance had a deep frown in his face which was hidden well by his mask and he didn’t like what was going on there among those men mocking her.
Times change, generations come and go but women have the same problem from then till now... Attack on their character and chastity as if those are the only important things for a woman...!
He himself was like that and when he was talking to his then friend Shu Meili, she asked him ’Haven’t you dirtied your body by being with many women? Why is the same rules of chastity not apply to you?’. That made him think hard and he changed himself. It was hard but he changed himself. She also made him hang upside down for an entire night before she forgave him for choking her that day in the temple. She was a strong woman and he loved her for that too ong other reasons! This child sure is her descendant, isn’t she?
And so is it not the time to change all of it...? That little boy seemed a bit indecisive to sit on the throne, but is he not doing the right thing by sending her off alone to fight her own battle? That child is competent to handle this...! There might not be another woman of her caliber who would appear in this world but if she wins today won’t that be a little victory against those who blame women for everything?
Like those who blamed his mother for his father’s inability to rule the nation and went as far as to kill her brutally without even trying to confront his father to focus more on governing the nation than pitching his tent in the inner palace. Aren’t women the garbage, the cannon fodder and the expendables through out history?
This child sure is impressive and has done a lot of amazing things in her eighteen years alive. But isn’t most of her achievements done under the guise of a man..? As Lord Táng, the man wearing crimson robes..? If she did all those things as a woman, would she be held in the same position as she is now by those people whom she had helped?
Whatever! Time for her to show the world that she as a woman is better than any other man sneering at her right now!

Chenglie was sitting in a tree along with Shihong who wanted him to watch the humiliations the one he betrayed him suffer.
Shihong was anxiously waiting for everyone to point their finger at her and with no one by her side she just kills herself with the sword in her hand.
