Translator: 549690339

“Oh, oh…

Night fell in the Imperial City, and it was still snowing tonight.

In the wee hours of the morning, rustling sounds could be heard from the streets. The sounds gathered into a huge wave that crashed directly at the city gate. Xia Ji was not asleep. He listened to the noise in the distance.

“Open the city gates and welcome the army of justice!”

“Quickly open the city gates!”

“Do you want to rebel with that cruel prince?”

Rebellion will result in the death of all your family members. The Seventh Prince is selfish. He is a member of the royal family, but we have relatives. ”

“Milords, open the city gates quickly.”

The voice had been ” rehearsed “, and every word carried a strong bewitching meaning. The guards on the city wall, who were not very firm to begin with, were even more confused at this moment.

Xia Xiaosu stood in front of the city gate and shouted, “Everyone, don’t be instigated by others. Please believe me, okay?”

When the crowd saw the princess, they took a break for a while. This princess was the only royal noble who had set up a porridge shop, built a hut, distributed quilts, and provided relief to the refugees. No matter what, the ninth princess stood here and stopped them, asking them to believe her. These people were still willing to stop talking.

“Ninth Princess, may I ask what the Seventh Prince wants?” someone asked. “Your Highness is brave, but if you don’t open the city gates, it will cause us trouble.”

If it was in the past, Xia Xiaosu would only think that these people were right. If she and her brother wanted to change their fate, why should they drag others into it? But now, she did not think so. She had things she wanted to do, and her brother had things he had to do. So, they had to do it.

Therefore, she only said, “Please believe me…”

However, there were still rioters hiding among the people. A soft sound of a blowgun could be heard amidst the hustle and bustle, and an obscure light shot towards Xia Xiaosu from the crowd.

Before the princess could make a move, a fox-like palace maid beside her had already raised her hand and waved it, scattering the cold light.

The mob roared.

“Hypocrite!”

“It’s just a few bowls of porridge. Can it buy the lives of our entire family?”

“Why should I believe her?”

” The Ninth Princess has a good idea! ”

“Tsk tsk tsk, do you really think we’re fools? Everyone, ignore her and charge over together!”

The voices rose and fell, and if one were to look carefully, it would be difficult to distinguish them. These people were very good at hiding in the crowd. As soon as they finished speaking, they would retract their heads and change their positions.

Xia Ji sat in the darkness, so he could naturally hear the sounds from afar. However, he only let out a soft breath and continued to recuperate while using his mental power to nourish the prayer beads.

Before the war, his sister had once looked for him and told him seriously that he didn’t need to care about the matters in the city, so he didn’t care.

In front of the east gate, the wind and snow continued. The princess’s face was immersed in the darkness. The voices of the rioters came to her ears, but her expression was calm. Then, when these voices were about to reach the peak, she suddenly clapped her hands. She clapped her hands softly.

But strangely,

Every time she patted, the clamoring in the crowd lessened.

After three slaps, the mob that was charging at the south gate had become much smaller.

After five more slaps, the clamoring had completely disappeared.

Dressed in patched clothes, the men of sacrifice mingled with the crowd and stared at the rioters who had been chasing them during the day. The princess’s clap was the signal.

Once the signal was given, they immediately used their daggers to cut off the heads of these rioters.

Soon after, the men of sacrifice also started shouting in the crowd.

‘ Ungrateful villain. Without the princess’s mercy, you would have starved to death on the streets! ‘

“I am more willing to believe in the princess than Daniu!”

‘ No one is better than the Ninth Princess! ‘

“Think about it carefully. Other than the princess, who else really cared about us? The Ninth Princess is a benevolent female Bodhisattva!”

‘ I represent all the poor people in the west of the city to support the ninth princess. Whoever causes trouble will be the lackey of the powerful! ”

“I saw these people secretly running to the noble’s house to get the bounty.

They are traitors!”

“Nonsense, we are all refugees…”

“Oh, I saw you eat the fish and meat of the rich and powerful. If you really didn’t eat it, then quickly cut open your stomach and prove your innocence. If there’s no fish in your stomach, then you didn’t eat it!”

“Kill him, he’s a traitor!”

“I didn’t eat…He really didn’t eat it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Hehe, do you really think that life will get better after the soldiers outside enter the city? If you have the ability, let them send over a thousand carts of food first. If they send it over, I might admit that my days are really good.”

The sound waves fell to one side.

The clamoring voice was filled with a strange bewitching wind.

Xia Ji, who was listening from afar, couldn’t help but laugh.

He remembered that Xia Xiaosu had been writing something at the table a few days ago. He had gone over to take a look, but she had blocked him with her hand, her face red.

This was probably it.

This sister of his was actually biting the tip of a pen and seriously studying the ‘verbal skills’ of the rioters. Now, she was even more aggressive and paid them back?

This woman’s eighteen transformations were awakened overnight.

When the masterminds heard what Little Su had arranged, they wondered if they would vomit blood.

There were now three groups of people in the crowd.

People who did not know the truth and were easily bewitched.

The soldiers of sacrifice disguised themselves as commoners.

A mob arranged by the nobles.

The men of sacrifice shouted the lines that the princess had asked them to memorize in advance while looking for the ” rioters Whoever spoke would immediately go up and stab them..
