"Bring them here and drag them out to be killed!"
With one order, two soldiers immediately entered the tent from outside, reaching out to grab Shang Ruyi!
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the tent grew tense.
However, the tension was coming from the ministers seated at the table and the woman standing behind Ashina Shali, who, despite being silent, looked at Shang Ruyi with a complex expression. On the contrary, Shang Ruyi, who was being watched with such acute attention, showed no trace of panic, even as her hands were grabbed by soldiers and pinned behind her back; she didn't struggle at all.
The two soldiers were somewhat perplexed.
Yet, they were simply following orders and immediately began to escort Shang Ruyi out of the tent.
Just as they were about to turn and leave, Ashina Shali's voice sounded again from behind: "Wait a moment!"
The two soldiers instantly halted and turned Shang Ruyi around.
