In Yujing City, Heng Garden.
It was late at night, but the lights in the Heng Garden were still bright. Princess Xiangyang closed the memorial, and the maid brought over a bowl of hot lotus seed soup at the right time, "Your Highness, please have something to eat, you didn't even have time to use your dinner."
The eldest princess of Xiangyang raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and asked the maid to put the bowl on the table.
As soon as she picked up the spoon, there was an announcement at the door, "The lady is here."
Yin Mu Shang walked in, handed the cloak to the maid aside, walked in, and saluted Princess Xiangyang, "Mother."
"How are Prince Ning's preparations going?" Princess Xiangyang asked.
"King Ning has led people to check the treasury and distribute all the fireworks, firecrackers, gunpowder, and kerosene stored over the years to various city gates. He has also found several places in the city where women and children can be accommodated. In addition, the servants and guards of each mansion,
They have all been counted and hidden in the city in batches."
Yin Mu Shang reported several details that had been agreed upon one by one.
The eldest princess of Xiangyang nodded, and then said: "There is a secret passage in this Heng Garden that leads directly to the outside of the city. If that day comes, you must leave early."
"Mom, I won't leave!" After talking about the business, when it was the turn of personal matters, Yin Mu Shang subconsciously rejected his mother's proposal: "I know that my mother is ready to destroy the city, but if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed,
Even if I can escape, what will happen to me in the future? It is better to resist to the end than to live in this world."
Before that, Yin Mu Shang was just a teenage daughter of a boudoir in Jade City, and all she fiddled with every day was clothing materials and jewelry.
But in just two or three months, Yujing City seemed to have changed overnight and was in danger.
Mo Xuanling went all the way south to fight outside Yujing City. It would be fine if she was an ordinary citizen. For a noble lady like Yin Mu Shang, how could she not have the chance to leave? In the past few months, her familiar little sisters have
, I don’t know how many of them have already left the capital with their families.
Even Yin Mu Shang, whose biological father's hometown is in the south, has nowhere to go.
But it seemed like overnight, she understood those words in the poems that she had never been able to feel before. Where was the country and the family? In the past, when Xiliang had His Majesty's protection, they could live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy wealth and glory. Now Xiliang has been lost.
Half of the country, if Yujing falls, even if she can leave, what kind of life can she live in the future?
Yin Mu Shang didn't dare to think about it.
This world is not stable, and everyone is like duckweed.
No matter whether she was a noble or a commoner, she had nothing to rely on during the war.
So instead of blocking those uncertainties, it is better to take advantage of the last opportunity. As long as Yujing is defended, at least Xiliang is still there, they still have a chance.
The eldest princess of Xiangyang looked at her daughter. She smiled rarely in these days and said, "You have grown up."
Yin Mu Shang suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard his mother's praise. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, he asked in a low voice: "Mom, you said... uncle, is it really true that he died?"
A few days ago, for some unknown reason, the news of His Majesty's death spread, which caused the army to become disorganized and even the city was in chaos.
Some people even took the opportunity to cause chaos in the city.
If it weren't for my mother's strong tactics, which directly dragged the troublemakers to the palace gate and beheaded them on the spot, causing blood to flow all over the floor, I'm afraid the chaos would only get worse at this time.
Since the beginning of the war, His Majesty has rarely appeared in front of people, but he did appear a few days ago. Therefore, although the situation outside Xiliang is not optimistic, the inside of Yujing City is still a mess.
But in fact, His Majesty did not appear for more than a month.
Yin Mu Shang didn't dare to ask before, but now that the army is approaching the city, maybe after today or tomorrow, she may not even have a chance to talk to her mother.
Princess Xiangyang shook her head, put down the bowl in her hand, and sighed, "I don't know."
"Huh?" Yin Mushang looked at his mother puzzled.
"Before your Majesty left, he gave me a message to do my best and take advantage of the situation." The eldest princess of Xiangyang frowned slightly: "Your Majesty may have expected the situation today, but I understand his temperament. If
If there is really no chance, he would just say to go with the flow. But since he said to do his best, that means there may be a turn for the better."
