The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 745 - 475: Suicide

Lady Wu and Yun Jiao were numb upon hearing the news.

Given the emperor’s character, he would certainly agree.

As expected, the next day, the emperor personally left the city with the letter of surrender.

With this act, he was again detained by the Jin Army.

From then on, both the Emeritus Emperor and the emperor were in the hands of the Jin Army.

The Jin Army used the Emeritus Emperor and the emperor as leverage, forcing the remaining city defenders to open the gates of the Inner City.

The Jin cavalry entered the city.

Thus, the entire Capital City fell completely.

The first thing the Jin Army did after entering the city was to empty all the granaries in Capital City, as the consumption of twenty thousand Jin soldiers was substantial daily.

Capital City had already been besieged for over a month; many impoverished families had little food reserves.

Some laborers worked for a day, bought food for a day, and ate that day.

Many citizens had not had food for some time and had to beg along the streets.

After entering the city, the Jin Army spent several days locating all the members of the Imperial Family and the noble families, as recorded in the imperial genealogy, and escorted them to the Jin Army camp outside the city.

The men’s hands were bound, while the women, being weak, did not require binding.

The Princess walked among them with an indifferent expression.

When the Jin Army escorted them past the city gate, the Princess turned her head to glance at the towering city wall and suddenly shouted sternly, "I would rather die than be a prisoner of Jin people!"

With those words, she pulled the hairpin from her head and fiercely stabbed it into her throat.

The surrounding women screamed continuously as they saw the blood gushing out.

The Jin officer overseeing the escort only glanced at the Princess convulsing in the pool of blood and said, "Keep moving, do not linger!"

The procession continued forward.

The men dared not take another look and the women moved on, tears streaming down their faces.

The Princess’s breath had not yet ceased; blood was still flowing from her throat, and she gazed at the two characters inscribed on the gate—"Dingjing."

Ah Yun, accompanied by two guards dressed in commoners’ attire, was nearby, gathering intelligence.

From afar, they saw the Princess fall and rushed over quickly.

They reached her and knelt before the Princess, weeping bitterly.

Ah Yun intended to carry the Princess back to have the Eldest Young Madam treat her, but the Princess’s head tilted slightly, and she breathed her last.

Her eyes remained open.

The guards knelt and bowed several times, then carried the Princess’s body back to the Inner City.

The Jin Army escort behind them, having seen enough hostages, didn’t bother to intervene; they had plenty of them already.

Ah Yun knocked on the door of a coffin shop, bought a coffin, placed the Princess inside, and carried it back to the Princess Mansion.

Lady Wu and Yun Jiao received word from the guards and hurried over, finding the mansion doors open and the interior empty, devoid of any signs of life.

As they walked in, Yun Jiao saw several shards of porcelain and fine silk garments.

The Jin people did not raise silkworms or produce silk; Jin nobles loved the silks of Great Chu. At this moment, the silk garments were strewn casually here, indicating how full their pockets were.

In the rear garden, Yun Jiao and Lady Wu looked at the Princess for the last time, then, together with the others, dug a pit in the garden and buried the coffin.

Yun Jiao’s tears fell one by one into the soil.

The Princess had been loving and wise, courageous and noble. Yun Jiao truly admired this elderly woman.

She thought that if the Princess had been the emperor, Great Chu would not be in the state it was today.
