Grand Secretary Shen was dead.

...

He was shot in the chest and fell into the grand canal of Jinghang. There was no news.

When the news reached the palace, Emperor Jingchen almost fainted!

"This, this is impossible!" Emperor Jingchen could not believe it.

How could Shen Yao die just like that?

"Your Majesty, I heard that the news has already reached the Shen family..." Eunuch Wan, who was serving the emperor, carefully considered the emperor's expression and asked softly.

"No, that's impossible!" Emperor Jingchen immediately shook his head. "With Shen Yao's ability, nothing will happen to him. Something must have gone wrong!"

On the other side, Zhao Lanhua, who had received the bad news, had also fainted.

The huge Shen residence was in chaos.

The Princess Imperial's residence.

Upon learning that Ji Zhao insisted on going to Jiangnan alone, Princess Kang Le hurriedly stopped her!

"No!" Princess Kang Le waved her hands. "Zhaozhao, don't you know how dangerous Jiangnan is?"

"Mother, I'm going to bring Shen Yao home," Ji Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, said with a determined gaze.

"Zhaozhao, I know you're sad, but... but you still have Kang'er. How can you not think about Kang'er?" Princess Kang Le persuaded anxiously. "Since this news was sent back by Qin Minghong, it must be true. You..."

"Mother, he promised me that he would return safely," Ji Zhao said firmly. "Zhaozhao, why... why are you so stubborn?"

Ji Zhao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Shen Yao was her husband. Before seeing his corpse with her own eyes, she would not believe this so-called grievous news.

The next day, in the palace.

Emperor Jingchen looked at Ji Zhao's determined expression and suddenly couldn't say the words he wanted to persuade her.

"I will send a team of imperial guards to protect you." After a moment of silence, Emperor Jingchen said with a complicated expression, "Shen Yao is my right arm. I don't believe that anything has happened to him, but if something has really happened to him..."

"That won't happen," Ji Zhao interrupted him forcefully.

Eunuch Wan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

This Madam Shen was quite bold. She actually dared to interrupt His Majesty!

"He'll be fine." Ji Zhao emphasized again. "Hl have to trouble Your Majesty to prepare an entry badge for me."

"Okay."

Two days later, Ji Zhao went to see Zhao Lanhua before she left.

"Ah Tao." Zhao Lanhua looked at her and cried sadly. "Although I don't believe that something has happened to Third Brother, I don't want you to take the risk. Ah Tao, you... you shouldn't go to Jiangnan, okay? What if something happens to you? What will Kang'er do?"

"Mother." Ji Zhao held her hand and said with a faint smile, "Have you forgotten? I dream. If something really happened to Shen Yao, I'll definitely dream of it! Mother, don't let your imagination run wild. Hurry up and recuperate. Get well soon and help me take care of Kang'er. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring Shen Yao back!"
