All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 401: Chapter 401: The Abused Heroine Awakens (77)

”Your Majesty, are you all right?” Wenn Shu stared fixedly at the emperor, ”I heard Your Majesty’s voice and hurried over from a distance, not knowing what orders you might have.”

The emperor was overjoyed: ”You are my loyal minister. The Second Prince is attempting a coup to murder his sovereign and rebel. Arrest him, and I will promote you.”

”Protecting Your Majesty’s safety is my duty,” Wenn Shu stood up and glanced at the composed Jing Yunzhou, then waved his hand without the slightest hesitation, ”Arrest this traitor.”

Jing Yunzhou, surrounded by people, spoke up as they moved to seize him, ”Brother-in-law, are you really going to do this?”

The word ”brother-in-law” left everyone present stunned for a moment, especially the emperor, who looked warily at Wenn Shu, recalling who he was.

Prime Minister Wenn’s son, and Jing Yunzhou’s official wife is Prime Minister Wenn’s daughter, meaning Wenn Shu is indeed Jing Yunzhou’s brother-in-law?

After all this time, it turns out they are one family.

The emperor’s face turned ashen; could it be that today even heaven wants to destroy him?

In this immense temptation, the emperor believed there was a significant chance that Wenn Shu would choose to side with Jing Yunzhou. If Jing Yunzhou ascends the throne, wouldn’t the Wenn Family also rise with it?

The emperor said nothing, as if he had resigned to his fate.

However, Wenn Shu spoke: ”Second Prince, my Wenn Family will not become traitors.”

”Our Wenn Family has principles.” Finished speaking, Wenn Shu was the first to rush over to apprehend Jing Yunzhou.

The emperor’s eyes brightened, and he exclaimed, ”Good, good, loyal minister, as expected of a fine son of the Wenn Family, well taught by the Prime Minister. After today, I shall reward you handsomely.”

Jing Yunzhou looked at Wenn Shu as if he were an idiot, casting a deep glance, ”Brother-in-law, is this truly your choice? To oppose me? Not willing to follow me to prosperity and glory? Even if you don’t consider yourself, think about the entire Wenn Family and your sister.”

”I believe my sister and the rest of the Wenn Family do not wish to become traitors. The reputation of our Wenn Family is what matters most. Our eternal loyalty is to the emperor who ascends the throne rightfully, not to a traitor like you.” Wenn Shu finished in one breath and again made a move against Jing Yunzhou.

The emperor listened to these words with relief; he still had loyal subjects. This Wenn Family, he remembered, would surely be rewarded later.

”Wenn Shu, I gave you a chance, and you didn’t seize it, don’t blame me.” Jing Yunzhou said coldly, ”Since your Wenn Family wants to oppose me, I can only send you all to accompany this old man in death so that he won’t be unattended on the Yellow Springs Road.”

”After you die, I will send Wenn Qiuyu to accompany you.”

Saying this, Jing Yunzhou still intended to sway Wenn Shu’s heart, but Wenn Shu attacked him relentlessly. Had he not been somewhat skilled, he might have been captured already.

Jing Yunzhou dashed out of the room, and Wenn Shu tried to follow but found many unfriendly men rushing in from outside.

Thinking of his father’s information, Wenn Shu could only grit his teeth and deal with them, hoping his father’s information wasn’t incorrect. This gamble’s outcome was crucial to the survival of the Wenn Family, even if it meant losing his life tonight, he couldn’t turn back on this path.

Jing Yunzhou heard the fighting inside, a smile tugging at his lips.

The emperor leaned against the bed, watching the brawl inside the room with concern. Unfortunately, ministers like Wenn Shu were too few; if there were more, they wouldn’t be so easily bought over.

As the wounds on Wenn Shu’s body increased, the emperor clenched his fist, cheering Wenn Shu on.
