Chapter 1123: The Return of an Old Friend (31)

Shen Miao shook her head. "If I leave, I'm afraid those rebels will spread rumors that I ran away. This palace is like a battlefield. My decision represents the decision of the royal family. If I retreat, the royal family will lose its prestige."

"But…" Luo Tan still wanted to convince her.

"There's no buts. Just hold on for a few more days and Xie Jingxing will be back." Shen Miao said, "As long as we can survive these days, everything will be fine."

As Shen Miao had expected, the next day, rumors began to spread on the streets. It was said that Princess Consort Rui had already escaped with her people and did not care about the lives of the people of Long Ye. Now, there was no one in charge of the Daliang Dynasty. The rebels were fighting with the city guards at the city gate. They might enter the city one day. At that time, blood would definitely flow like a river in Long Ye.
