Burning Passion Love Never Dies

Mingshu was so addicted to a novel that she forgot to eat and sleep; she had taken to heart the plight of the villainous emperor within, whose fate was appallingly tragic!

Confronted with the living and breathing emperor before her, Mingshu's mind was a whirlwind— Isn't this my kid? 〣( ºΔº )〣 In the eyes of everyone else, the emperor was bloodthirsty by nature, ruthless and cruel, a Living Yama whose very name sent shivers down spines! Through Mingshu's eyes, the emperor was: afraid of the dark, terrified of thunder, loved to act spoiled, lacked a sense of security, was inherently kind, and had a life-or-death need for sweets... What kind of supreme cutie is this?! Wahhh, baby, mama loves you!! In order to change her son's dreadful ending, Mingshu, overflowing with maternal love, transformed into a child-protecting demon! She brazenly confronted the Empress Dowager, furiously scolded court officials, and fought imperial consorts with her bare hands...

Chapter 313: Truly Deserves to Die

Mingshu and her party were taken to a separate courtyard for accommodation.

The Prefect of Jincheng, Zhang Jingshan, for some reason had learned of their arrival and came to greet them respectfully.

Unlike Governor of Youzhou, Chen Baichuan, who was astute and experienced, this Prefect of Jincheng had a stern face, seldom smiled, and there was a touch of exhaustion in his eyes. He appeared earnest and upright, the sort who only knew to bury himself in hard work.

According to Si Chu, this man was an honest and competent official yet he possessed a head of elm wood, disliking factions and not adept at currying favor. After the outbreak of the plague in Jincheng, his role as the Prefect wasn't without questions of dereliction of duty: he was expected to be stripped of his black gauze cap and die to apologize for his crimes.
