Yu Niaoniao's words rendered Shen Zhuo speechless.

Admittedly, he thought too highly of himself, but he didn't think it was wrong.

Because he was the emperor, the ruler of a country. The entire Dayan belonged to him. He should be above all living beings. This was a privilege given to him by virtue of royal power.

Shen Zhuo was silent for a long time before saying.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Yu Niaoniao said frankly, "Of course, I'm afraid of death."

Shen Zhuo said, "Then why can't you say something to make me happy? Even if it's a lie."

Yu Niaoniao said calmly, "If you want to hear pleasant lies, you can return to the Imperial Capital. With your status, I believe countless people will rush to curry favor. You can hear any lie you want, but a fake is a fake. You know this better than me."

Shen Zhuo finally could not speak.

Yu Niaoniao said rudely, "I can't give you what you want. Give up."

Shen Zhuo was still unwilling to give up. "You weren't like this in the past. You used to like to pester me and would think of ways to make me happy. You wouldn't be as cold and heartless as you are now."

Yu Niaoniao said, "I've told you many times that the past is in the past. Now that you're the emperor of Dayan and I'm the Duchess of Eastern Tang, you have your territory and I have my husband, child, and friends. We've long parted ways and there's no possibility of us interacting." Empress Dowager Wen had said these words to Shen Zhuo before.

But he wouldn't listen.

He had been holding on to the last hope.

He hoped that Niaoniao could still soften. He hoped that there was still a possibility of them reconciling.

But now that he was seeing her in person, he realized that reality was far colder than he had expected.

Yu Niaoniao carefully noted the change in his expression. Seeing that he seemed to be considering, she continued to persuade him.

"Xingning City should have been sealed off now. Ah Juan and Guixi must be looking for me everywvhere with their men. If you let me go now, I can pretend that nothing happened and let you leave Eastern Tang."

Shen Zhuo asked, "What if I don't let you go?"

Yu Niaoniao emphasized, "Xingning City is only so big. Sooner or later, they will find this place. At that time, none of you will be able to escape."

Shen Zhuo said, "If anything happens to me here, Dayan will immediately send troops to Eastern Tang."

Yu Niaoniao said, "Then let's fight. At most, we'll fight to the death!"

Shen Zhuo was speechless.

He looked steadily at the woman in front of him.

She clearly did not know any martial arts and had no ability to protect herself, but at this moment, she was unyielding and refused to give in.

Who gave her so much confidence?

Was it Xiao Juan? Or Tang Guixi?

Just as the atmosphere was in a stalemate, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Knock knock!

Shen Zhuo asked, "What is it?"

Wei Liao's voice came through the door.
