"Uncle, it's for the people's plea."
Shen Shiyan smiled bitterly and said, "But in the eyes of the world, I am an unfaithful minister."
Shang Ruyi's throat tightened, she said reluctantly, "No."
"..."
"Uncle is not an unfaithful minister."
Back then, he risked being beheaded, and together with Pei Xu and others, petitioned Chu Yang to halt the conquests against Liaodong and allow the people to breathe; and now, having just ended his exile, he once again disregards the threat to his life to advocate for the people.
He is not unfaithful.
What he is loyal to is not the Da Ye Dynasty, but the tens of thousands waiting to be saved from the ravages of war.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's eyes reddened again, she looked up at Shen Shiyan and choked saying, "Uncle, you're wholeheartedly selfless, Ruyi understands..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shiyan's gaze flickered.
