Shen Bijun raised her eyebrows.
She glanced in the direction of the main hall and, upon seeing that Jing Zhen hadn't come out, she understood something.
She smiled and helped Yu Jing to her feet, "Let's go."
Yu Jing's body trembled uncontrollably, but she still stood up with effort and followed the person sent by the Empress Dowager.
Shen Bijun followed them out, but as they walked, she suddenly noticed that Yu Jing had calmed down.
She raised her peach blossom eyes and inquired, "Not afraid anymore?"
"Afraid," Yu Jing spoke with a tremble in her voice, "but when I entered the palace, I knew fear was useless. My life was given by the royal family, and I must be loyal to them, even if I am chased out or beaten to death, my death would be insignificant."
In Country A, the monarchical power was supreme. The common people held a deep sense of fear towards the monarchy, and even servility was ingrained in their bones.
Shen Bijun lowered her eyes and silently sighed.
