The crown princess was silent, and patted Junxu on the shoulder. Junxu wiped away his tears
‘Your Highness, please ask someone to bring a bowl of wine, and Shen Da will leave behind iron evidence and Shen Yao will verify the identity!‘
’This…there’s no need for that.‘
’Your Highness, from today onwards, Shen Da is willing to follow Your Highness’s lead! He will definitely draw a line with Shen Yao!‘
’This…haha…If Da is willing, I won’t force him.’
The celadon lotus bowl, with its clear wine, drops of bright red blood seem to be a tear of blood falling gently through the clarity to the bottom of the bowl, gently rippling out some blood mist.
Shen Qing looked at Shen Da, whose eyes were staring blankly at the bottom of the bowl, gradually filled with tears, and couldn’t help but feel a little sour.
