Shen Ruyu didn't know that the male emperor in the capital was extremely tormented in his heart's self-punishment—it wasn't an inner struggle—because he had already made a decision.

When he defined the nature of Shen Ruyu's trapped Beijun as "Shen Ruyu was imprisoned", Shen Ruyu's importance can be the daughter of the Shen family and the upstart in the literary world, but he will never add the article "the male emperor's sweetheart".

Her imprisonment was seen as a provocation to the authority of the imperial court, but the Emperor would not admit that she had the influence to undermine his resoluteness in the counterinsurgency decision.

Even if everyone knows that he likes Shen Ruyu, his heart will never be as unwavering as it appears on the surface, but as the emperor, the cold and hard attitude he shows is irreversible - the rebellion must be suppressed, and all the rebels must be destroyed.

He wouldn't care that Shen Ruyu was in Li Yuan's hands. It is also impossible to suspend the pace of counterinsurgency for her.

But there is no doubt about the big section, and in the small section, he still inevitably reveals a little weakness - if the rebels use Shen Ruyu as a threat, they don't need to pay attention to it, but if Shen Ruyu has a chance of surviving, try to ensure that she is brought back.

And also......

If she surrenders to the rebels in order to survive, there is no need to pursue it.

Cui Wenjun was extremely angry at this order, she was not the kind of naïve teenager who felt that "Li Cong didn't put Shen Ruyu first, and didn't love beautiful women", she could understand that he chose the responsibility of being the emperor in the face of national affairs and children's personal affairs, but she was angry that Li Cong actually thought that Shen Ruyu would surrender.

Most people are sure that in history, Shen Ruyu has never done anything to be sorry for Li Lu, except that the reason for Shen Ruzhuo's rebellion can have something to do with her, and even extremely loyal to him.

At that time when Cui Wenjun didn't cross over, many texts liked to write the plot of "loyal and capable ministers worked hard to display their ambitions against the evil thoughts of the monarch", and the abuse text liked to write about the male emperor's arrogance and Shen Ruyu's helplessness, and Tianwen liked to write about the silly white sweet male emperor who unconditionally obeyed Shen Ruyu's opinions and the gentle belly black as jade who helplessly pampered the male emperor to help him manage the world.

The former despises the latter's brainlessness, and the latter wears the former's obscure darkness.

Cui Wenjun...... I like them all.

When I look at the former, I look at the latter, and when I get tired of watching the latter, I look at the disgusting feeling of the former, which is slowly sweetened, and with each other, I feel that I can love it forever.

- Of course, it is clear that Wang Zizhi is the absolute latter.

It's just that Cui Wenjun just categorically asserted that Shen Ruyu would never surrender, and the internal guard sent an intelligence.

As the counterattack of the imperial court gradually unfolded, the official army attacked the rebels on the battlefield, and the internal guards began to mix into the various towns occupied by the rebels to collect intelligence - the army of Li Yun, the king of Ning, was the one with the greatest loss so far among all the rebels, so he was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Ruyu.

She took Shen Ruyu from Li Yuan's house arrest without authorization and forced her to surrender - her subordinates captured countless innocent civilians, claiming that if Shen Ruyu did not surrender, she would kill civilians until she surrendered.

Is it for the sake of righteousness to ignore the blood in front of them, or to protect their proud heads?

Cui Wenjun almost wanted to roar - what the hell! I don't have this in the history books!! This is also too despicable!!

And it is precisely because there is no such paragraph in the history books that Cui Wenjun inevitably felt a panic - could it be that Ruyu finally chose to surrender?

And then, and then...... After the male emperor found out, in order to protect her reputation, he erased this record from the history books?

……

Shen Ruyu's face lost her smile for the first time, perhaps because her expressionless appearance was quite different from her usual appearance, and she looked extremely stern and cold for a while.

"What does His Royal Highness King Ning want?"

"I just admired Ruyu's talent for a long time," Li Yun didn't seem to care about her anger at all, and didn't know how disgusted her behavior was, and laughed quite scoundrelly, "If Ruyu Niangzi is willing to assist me, why worry about the world?" It's just that Ruyu Niangzi can't bear to live up to Ah Cong, but I can also understand it, so I have to think of a way, I'd rather bear the notoriety of persecution myself, than I want Ruyu Niangzi to be embarrassed. ”

Listening to what she meant, her behavior was to give Shen Ruyu a step to surrender confidently-"You just tell people that you were forced by me." ”

It's as if Shen Ruyu wants to surrender very much, but she's afraid of having a bad reputation!

But Shen Ruyu didn't bother to pay attention to her little insult, she coldly and stiffly replied to another more important question, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and it is really a great crime of disrespect to call him by his name in such a contemptuous manner." ”

However, her expression eased, revealing a somewhat mocking chuckle, "However, I don't think you will care, in the future, the main hall will be guilty, anyway, there is a crime of rebellion, and the punishment for great disrespect cannot be heavier." ”

Li Yun smiled, she didn't say anything, just beckoned, and the two male soldiers with strong and strong bodies and numb expressions walked towards the civilians with wooden expressions.

Driven by a large crowd of soldiers, the civilians, who were forced to kneel on the ground and did not dare to move, suddenly burst into an irrepressible cry and shout, and they raised their heads and watched them approach in fear and fear, but did not dare to cast a look of anger and hatred at the person who gave the order.

The women could only try to protect their children and husbands behind them, even though they themselves were trembling with fear.

In the end, a young girl was dragged out, and the other teenager suddenly rushed over with a frightened face, grabbed the waist of the struggling girl, and refused to separate, so the two soldiers dragged the two of them to Shen Ruyu together.

They hugged each other tightly, the girl's hair was scattered, she didn't dare to look up at King Ning, nor did she dare to look at Shen Ruyu, as if she was afraid to face what she was about to face next, but she trembled and tried to press the boy into her arms, trying to protect him - the same was true of the young man. It's just that unlike the girl, he hugged the girl tightly, but looked at Shen Ruyu with a pleading gaze.

Li Yun was still smiling, but she looked at Shen Ruyu provocatively, and the soldiers standing behind the girl and boy had already drawn their weapons.

The thin boy saw a shadow on the ground—he saw that the soldier behind him had raised his broadsword in the air, and he looked desperate, his face was young and immature, and he did not even look more than fifteen years old. He looked at Shen Ruyu, big tears flowed from his eyes, he read something nervously in his dumb voice, almost incoherent, but Shen Ruyu understood-"Help me, save me, please, I don't want to die, please, p......lease, please, please."

"What does it mean to slaughter unarmed civilians and harm innocent people?!" Shen Ruyu's voice had never been so cold, and she looked at the two soldiers sternly and scolded. "It's a beast. It's scum. A criminal who will never be forgiven and can never be redeemed! ”

But the two soldiers, as men, were taken by Li Yun's side, obviously completely loyal to her dead soldiers, who only knew how to obey orders, so their expressions did not change at all, as if they had not heard anything.

She turned angrily to Li Yun, the king of Ning, since the time crossed, Shen Ruyu has never been so angry, as if there is a flame boiling and burning in her body and blood, she looked at Li Yun, word by word, "With people like you, you also want to sit on the world?!" Deserve to be so delusional?! ”

Li Yun narrowed her eyes.

She didn't care about Shen Ruyu's previous scolding, because in her opinion, it was just Shen Ruyu's last struggle before lowering her proud head, but the throne was a thorn that had always been in her heart.

She is the mother of Li Cong and Li Yuan - that is, the sister of the first emperor, but her personality is violent and arrogant, she hunts excessively, does not avoid crops, and is deeply resented by the people.

The first emperor was merciful and did not kill her, but only expelled her from Beijing, but she always held a grudge.

She hated Li Cong, and even sneered at Li Yuan.

Just as Li Yuan hated Li Cong because he missed the throne, so did Li Yun. Listening to Shen Ruyu's words, she narrowed her eyes and sneered, "What are your abilities besides having a powerful mouth?" Since you are so insistent on your morality and justice, then watch them all die in front of you. ”

She maliciously curled the corners of her mouth, "And I promise, you, no one can save you." ”

Shen Ruyu looked at her expressionlessly, suddenly took a big step forward, and stretched out her hand to reach out towards Li Yun's waist, Li Yun was shocked, and subconsciously retreated sharply - but Shen Ruyu had already held the hilt of the long sword at her waist, and as soon as she retreated, she just helped Shen Ruyu pull it out.

It was a long sword of fine iron, not at all flashy as the sumptuous scabbard that encased it, and it was extremely sharp and durable. Shen Ruyu reacted extremely quickly, with the long sword in her hand, and with a flip of her wrist, it landed at Li Yun's throat, forcing her to stop her pace of preparing to flee.

These things happened almost instantly, when Shen Ruyu restrained Li Yun, those soldiers were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly prepared to come to the rescue, but Li Yun was a little carried away before, standing quite close to Shen Ruyu, but stayed away from her guards, so that Shen Ruyu caught the flaw.

Shen Ruyu didn't have much experience in hostage-taking, so she had to instinctively grab Li Yun's wrist, clasp one of her hands behind her, and put the long sword across her throat with the other. Looking at the guards surrounding them in front of her, Shen Ruyu let out a long sigh, as if she didn't know whether her actions were wise or not, but the matter had come to this, and she had to try to maximize the resources in her hands.

"Looks like I have another option." Shen Ruyu seemed to laugh a little ridiculously.
