Chapter 216 Winner
Shen Wei was indeed secretly using the matter of the eldest princess to gamble and stir up the emperor's memories. After all, as they were both "married into" the Northern Territory, the emperor could ignore the lives and deaths of ordinary people, but he would not ignore the tragic death of the eldest princess.
Taking advantage of this, Shen Wei chose to seek an opportunity for relative equality between men and women.
Fortunately, she won the bet!
Shen Wei smiled slightly and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Princess, although we have never met, thank you very much."
“Only when women step out of that cage, take power, and stand at the decision-making level, will fairness and equality be in their favor.”
"Rules are always made by the strong."
She could help Zhao Xiangrong and save Miss Lu, but she could not save millions of women because they had no rights in this dynasty.
Even if they are their fathers, brothers, or your husband, no matter how much they love you, it is impossible for them to empathize with you from their perspective when it comes to interests.
Instead of putting your destiny in the hands of others, it is better to take your own hands.
Shen Wei thought,
She will do everything she can to get a chance.
She does not have the ability or qualifications to negotiate too many conditions with her superiors.
And then, it depends on them.
An hour later.
Everyone got the news from Qin Shuyu, and stood at the door of the martial arts hall waiting for Shen Wei and Xiaoying to come back.
When Shen Wei got out of the car, she saw several female martial arts apprentices standing at the door, staring at her face with red eyes, shouting excitedly:
"Miss Shen, you are finally back!"
"Miss Shen, we are all waiting for you."
"Miss Shen..."
A smile broke out on Shen Wei's face. He was surrounded by the crowd. What he saw in front of him were concerned and moved faces, and what he heard was everyone's sincere concern.
Everyone welcomed Shen Wei into the courtyard, looked her over from head to toe, and when they saw that she had no wounds on her body, they finally relaxed.
"Weiwei, has the emperor agreed to that matter?"
In the Dali Temple prison, Shen Wei told Xiaoying about his plan.
Xiaoying was also pardoned not long ago. Seeing Shen Wei really come back safely, she immediately guessed the reason... Perhaps the emperor agreed to Shen Wei's conditions.
But this is too unbelievable.
"Master, Miss Shen, what are you talking about?" Everyone asked in confusion, either worried or frightened.
"What terms did you reach with the Emperor?"
"Has the emperor already issued an order to send all the unmarried apprentices in our martial arts school to the Xiongnu for selection?"
Most of them are unmarried girls in their early teens. They come here to become female guards and earn enough money.
I want to support myself and don't want to be forced by my family to marry a strange man.
Can......
The emperor’s order cannot be disobeyed!
Destiny cannot be violated!
They knew very well that no matter how unwilling they were, they could not change their situation as women.
They thought that as long as they sweated profusely under the scorching sun and persevered even if they were injured, they would grit their teeth and persevere. Even if their wounds became more inflamed day by day and they couldn't sleep every night because of the pain and itching, they never gave up.
As long as you do this, you can live a different life and live with some dignity.
But the reality is cruel and does not give them any chance to become stronger.
"Xiaoying, please go and close the door."
"There is something I need to tell you."
Shen Wei's rational and calm voice made everyone quiet down.
Everyone trusted Shen Wei, and when they heard Shen Wei speak, they tacitly shut up and looked at Shen Wei.
