"Shangguan Yu, did you know your mistake?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shangguan Yu knelt on the floor, kowtowing towards Emperor Yang Zhou. From the moment, he made this decision, he knew that this would be his ending. But he's ready and will not back down.
Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Shangguan Yu in front of him and glanced at Prime Minister Lan. It meant that he wanted Prime Minister Lan to be the one in charge of this matter.
To be honest, he didn't care much about Shangguan Yu.
The ambitions of this young man could be seen very clearly. But Emperor Yang Zhou could feel that this ambition was not placed in his direction but instead towards the other ministers.
Because what Shangguan Yu wanted from the very beginning was to become a capable and powerful official.
It was his dream.
Now that he had lived his dream life for years, it was time for this 'dream' to end.
"Prince Shangguan Yu had made a mistake…"
The court started.
…
<Prison>
Princess Hu's life has been very difficult. Ever since she was put in this dirty and smelly jail, she hadn't been able to live her life well. Many of her thoughts revolved in what she could do differently in her life to avoid this ending.
What could she do now?
She had no force after Emperor Yang Zhou handed them all to her husband and later on some part were pulled away forcefully by Great General Nan's unreasonable move. Day by day, Princess Hu felt that she was suffering greatly. But she couldn't do anything.
Making troubles wouldn't help her and many things slowly lost their meanings, making Princess Hu felt annoyed and desperate.
Today, an Imperial Guard came to her.
"What is it?" Princess Hu asked, her voice was hoarse and her appearance was dirty. She no longer showed the majesty of the noble princess like she used to be.
Suffering in this place, what Princess Hu wanted the most was to get out. She believed that because she's part of the Imperial Family, they wouldn't really kill her.
"Prince Shangguan Yu had returned."
Princess Hu raised her head in disbelief. She didn't expect this cheap husband of hers to come back. After he came out of the Capital City and went to other cities, she thought that she would be free.
Not being able to do what she wanted, Princess Hu switched her attention to do other things. Things that she had long wanted to do but never dared to.
But now that she had nothing to lose, she tried it.
Shangguan Yu, who claimed to be powerful, didn't even realize when she started to go frequently from his side to another man's embrace. In fact, she could only get out during the banquet with him, but he didn't care much about her.
She's bored.
And she also wanted to build her force again.
Unfortunately, the man she found was a coward and didn't dare to do anything big. It was also because of this that his status as the illegitimate children couldn't even improve. The only advantage he had is that he looked handsome.
Princess Hu quarreled a lot with Shangguan Yu after she came to his residence.
After she made him angry, he had never come to her again.
So she just looked for others outside.
