Summary
Three years after my death, war broke out beyond the frontier. The Emperor came to my manor to request that I lead the campaign. My maid informed him, “General Shen is already dead.” The Emperor sneered. “She has been throwing a tantrum for years just because I married Rou’er. Has she still not had enough? Tell her to lead her troops to the border immediately. If she delays the military operation, do not blame me for forgetting our past affection and executing her entire clan!” The maid remained silent for a long time before bowing deeply. “Your Majesty, I risk my life to inform you that General Shen was an orphan. Aside from me, her servant, she had no clan to execute. “I have remained here since her death for two reasons: first, to tend to her grave. “And second, to keep my eyes open and witness Your Majesty’s retribution.”
