The Singing of the Empty City [9]
Not only will the fight between the two sides be deadly, but it will also affect the common people. Once the war breaks out, countless citizens of Bei Mu will die. Not to mention, their own family will become chaotic and their property will become ruins.
Once the new regime is established by the bloodshed of these soldiers, they (the officials) will never rise again. The new regime will have a new royal court. It will no longer be theirs.
This can’t happen. They definitely cannot let that happen.
All the officials in the hall became uneasy and restless.
Liu Yue remained ice-cold and solemn. Her appearance is devastatingly beautiful, capable of causing the downfall of a city. Yet accompanied by her beauty was an unfeeling, cold, and blood-thirsty aura. Her icy-cold att.i.tude is like that of a clear and bright moon, both heartless and cool.
Liu Yue ignored the shouting and yelling of the officials. She picked up the obedient Yelu Hong and began walking down the platforms.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ouyang Yu Fei also stood up and followed after Liu Yue.
“Regent, please don’t leave. We can’t fight our own family!” When they saw that Liu Yue was about to leave, they immediately tried to convince her. Once she leaves, they would never be able to change their fate. Once that happens, their Yelu family would become history. This thought made Third Royal Uncle panic.
“This is what you forced me to do. I believe that in the future I will be able to help my little brother (Yelu Hong) obtain a large country. And you guys won’t be part of this new country.” Her words were both cold and arrogant.
Seeing that Liu Yue was about to step down from the platforms, the officials of Bei Mu was about to become insane from anxiety.
“Regent, everything we do is for the emperor. As long as you’re loyal to our emperor, why would we force you? After all, having such a capable official by the emperor’s side, we don’t even have enough time to be happy about it.”
“Regent, this has nothing to do with me. I would never betray you…”
“d.a.m.n it! This is all Yelu Ji’s fault for being disloyal. If you want to die, go die by yourself. Why are you trying to drag us down with you…”
“That’s right! It’s all that d.a.m.ned Yelu Ji’s fault. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d…”
As the officials saw Liu Yue continue to descend the platform, their fear turned into anger. They almost want to peel Yelu Ji’s skin and eat his meat. Yelu Ji continued to lay there, unable to move or speak.
“Reporting. The large army is already one mile from the city gate. The three divisions of soldiers from the South Courtyard is still stationed in its original position, awaiting instructions from Prince Qin.” Another one of Yelu Ji’s underling had rushed in.
