Chapter 946

The plot could be described as full of ups and downs, with countless twists.

It made it impossible for people to guess the subsequent development of the story.

And when Zhu Wushi and Su Xin were thrown into the Celestial Prison by Cao Zhengchun, and as Zhu Wushi sucked the Celestial Silkworm out for Su Xin, the two of them spoke the words, "Holding your hand, growing old together with you," the audience was left with nothing but heartache.

"I like this couple more and more now."

"So touching, my heart aches for Su Xin and the Divine Marquis. One has loved her for over twenty years, and the other lay in an ice coffin, only to have her eyes filled with him upon waking."

"Can anyone tell me, does Su Xin love Gu Santong more, or does she love the Divine Marquis more?"

"The soundtrack for this part is truly so evocative; Xu Mingyou is worthy of being a musical genius!"

"I didn't expect that just the instrumental music alone could make my heart ache with such torment."

"Please, do not kill off Su Xin and the Divine Marquis; they finally managed to be together, neither of them can die!"

"Every character is flesh and blood; Xu Mingyou is amazing!"

Because every character was likable and deeply rooted in people's hearts, many viewers wanted to see a perfect ending, and they kept spamming the bullet comments.

Everyone wanted to see Haitang and Yidao become a happy couple. Yidao was silent and reserved, having secretly loved Haitang for who knows how long, while Haitang, without realizing it, had also developed deep roots of affection for Yidao.

Everyone wanted to see Tianya and Yagyu Piaoxu live happily ever after, raising their son together.

Everyone wanted to see Su Xin finally become the Divine Marquis's Princess.

Everyone also wanted to see Cheng Shifei and Yunluo, that bickering couple, spend their whole lives just like that, fighting and making a ruckus.

……

It is just a pity that they forgot that these twins love to "stab" people; as long as they did not drastically change the original ending, this show was destined to conclude with an imperfect finale.

The turning point lay in the reversal of the Iron-Gall Divine Marquis, Zhu Wushi.

When the young girls saw the bullet comments from netizens insisting on a perfect ending, they smiled quite unkindly.

Have you prepared your tissues?

……

As "The World's Number One" aired episode after episode, the show's online viewership had long since surpassed ten billion. "Heaven Sword Descends the Mountain," which aired in the same period, couldn't even see the taillights of this show; to date, its online viewership had not even reached 1.5 billion.

The gap was very obvious!

In terms of ratings, the difference was even more astronomical; the ratings for "The World's Number One" had already broken 8 and were charging toward 9, while "Heaven Sword Descends the Mountain" had a pitiful 0.9.

In other words, this year, Xu Mingyou's first phenomenal hit TV series had emerged just like that.

Their previous phenomenal hit TV series was "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan."

At the same time.

With the explosive popularity of the TV series "The World's Number One," the popularity and heat of the show's leads were also skyrocketing, such as Ye Xuan who played Haitang, Gao Yuanyuan who played Yagyu Piaoxu, and so on; even the actress playing Su Xin saw a huge surge in popularity.

Who could refuse a beautiful, gentle, and intellectual big sister? Not to mention she also possessed a bonus point—being a married woman.

At this moment, as soon as episode 30 was broadcast, everyone started playing it immediately.

But the next second, countless viewers were dumbfounded, stunned, slack-jawed, and filled with disbelief.

They saw that in a new prison cell of the Eastern Depot, the Divine Marquis was not wearing chains; instead, he was able to move freely.

Cao Zhengchun's subordinates were holding Su Xin, and he had also summoned the Persian woman Luo Heshi to play a tune, wanting to force Zhu Wushi to sign a document ordering the four great secret agents to surrender to the Ministry of Justice that very day, admitting to the crimes of raiding the Celestial Prison and killing the Imperial Uncle.

Suddenly, Luo Heshi began to play the pipa, and instantly, the sound of the pipa rose within the prison.

As mentioned before, the pipa could control the Celestial Silkworm inside Zhu Wushi's body, making it gnaw incessantly at his internal organs.

This was the reason why Cao Zhengchun could rest assured and not put shackles on Zhu Wushi.

As Luo Heshi played more vigorously, Zhu Wushi's reaction became all the more painful.

He screamed repeatedly, rolling on the ground, foaming at the mouth, his body twitching and convulsing.

At this moment.

Cao Zhengchun's subordinate, Feiying, made a move, wanting to control Zhu Wushi's body, but Zhu Wushi found an opportunity and kicked the short sword at Feiying's waist away.

The short sword flew into the air, and the spot where it landed was exactly at Zhu Wushi's chest.

"Don't let him commit suicide!" Cao Zhengchun's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he shouted loudly.

Feiying, who was closest to Zhu Wushi, moved instantly to block it, but it was too late; the short sword plunged into Zhu Wushi's chest with a squelch, and instantly Zhu Wushi's face turned pale, blood flowed from the wound, and he was on the verge of death!

Seeing the Divine Marquis lying in a pool of blood, Su Xin threw herself over, hugging him and crying out: "Wushi, don't die!"

But Zhu Wushi died nonetheless. Before dying, he looked deeply at Su Xin several times.

At this moment.

The Persian Luo couple stopped playing the pipa, stunned and dumbfounded!

Feiying was dumbfounded and stunned!

Even Cao Zhengchun was dazed and dumbfounded.

He had not expected that Zhu Wushi, who had always been tough and possessed superior strategy, would actually choose to commit suicide?

His arch-enemy, whom he had fought his whole life, died just like that, giving him a very unreal feeling.

And in front of the screens, countless viewers felt the same.

Dumbfounded.

Stunned.

Dazed.

Slack-jawed.

Unable to believe the scene before their eyes.

"What the hell, Zhu Wushi just died like this?"

"He committed suicide??!! How is that possible?"

"Isn't this death a bit too hasty?"

"And he died in Su Xin's arms; for Su Xin, this is too tragic!"

"I cannot accept this! Zhu Wushi is a righteous big shot; how can he die so simply!"

"The ending is ruined!"

【Garbled text】

"……"

Zhu Wushi had previously given people the impression of being a complete gentleman, a loyal official of the country, and he was affectionate and righteous toward Tianya, Haitang, Yidao, and Su Xin. Seeing him die so hastily, everyone was crying out for justice for him.

The bullet comments exploded.

Cao Zhengchun thought for a moment and decided to bury Zhu Wushi hastily, then report to the Emperor that the Iron-Gall Divine Marquis had died overnight from a strange illness, fearing it might be contagious within the Forbidden Palace, so he had him buried immediately. As for Su Xin, Cao Zhengchun wanted to kill her as well, but Feiying told Cao Zhengchun that Su Xin still had utility value and could be used to threaten the four great secret agents; as the widow of the Iron-Gall Divine Marquis, the four great secret agents would surely do anything to save her.

"That works too, just in time to wipe them all out!"

After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes; he decided to use Su Xin to lure out the four great secret agents, including Tianya, and then wipe them all out!

Therefore, Su Xin managed to save her life.

On the other side.

Wan Sanqian received the news and learned that Zhu Wushi had committed suicide in the Celestial Prison.

Haitang was immediately furious, convinced that Cao Zhengchun had forced her foster father to his death, and she wanted to go take revenge and fight Cao Zhengchun to the death.

But Wan Sanqian advised her not to be impulsive, saying that this matter was a bit suspicious; given the Divine Marquis's style of doing things, he didn't seem like someone who would commit suicide, and it might instead be a trap.

Therefore, until the body was seen, it was impossible to determine the truth.

Haitang said that if there really was a trap, and if they went to crash the funeral tomorrow, they would definitely fall into it.

Wan Sanqian smiled slightly, looking confident, as if he already had a brilliant plan.

The next day.

Cao Zhengchun sat in the center with a triumphant smile, presiding over Zhu Wushi's funeral, while Su Xin wept bitterly.

Cao Zhengchun looked somewhat regretful and said: "For a long time, I have been looking forward to a fair fight with the Divine Marquis, but now there is no longer a chance."

In his tone, there was infinite loneliness.

Under heaven, the only person he could regard as an opponent was that one man.

Suddenly.

Someone broke into the scene of Zhu Wushi's funeral; just as Cao Zhengchun had expected, it was Haitang, Cheng Shifei, and Tianya who arrived at the grave one after another.

Of the four secret agents of the Dragon Guard Villa, three had come.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
