’Shen Da has been your servant for his whole life. Please, Your Highness, avenge the injustice Shen Yao has added to the innocent people and me!‘
Shen Qing looked at the candlelight
’Why didn’t Da kill his enemies?‘
’I… I… I couldn’t do it!’
Shen Qing closed her eyes. Shen Da’s suppressed cries of pain and hatred for her own powerlessness rang in her ears, causing her to lose her temper for a moment. Since she had succeeded the Empress Dowager as a child, so many people had placed all kinds of hopes on her. If others could not do it, why would they think she could not? She was human, with flesh and blood, emotions and pain. She was also afraid and lonely.
After a long while, Shen Qing opened his eyes
‘This matter requires careful consideration.’
Jun Xu replied in a dull voice, and Shen Qing’s face was expressionless
‘Don’t say you’re not a Shen! I say you are, and you are! From now on, you are Shen Da, Marquis of Pingyang!’
‘Thank Your Highness for granting me your surname!’
‘Go back first, it’s late.’
“Yes, Shen Da retires.’
‘Feng Qin… He…‘
’If Your Highness is not inconvenienced, Feng Qin should remain by my side, so that if Your Highness has any instructions, I will not be delayed.‘
Shen Qing curved the corners of his mouth, made a perfect smile, and his gaze was cold and deep
’Very well then.’
