The Singing of the Empty City [12]
While holding Yelu Hong, Liu Yue walked out of Chen Lan Hall. Her aura was every bit intimidating.
“Regent, what about our poison… Hey! We can move now.”
“I can move too. There’s nothing wrong now!”
“….”
Without any of their knowledge, they were poisoned. And then without any of their knowledge again, they were able to move.
Inside the hall, the officials looked at Liu Yue’s silhouette. Within their sweat-soaked clothing, they didn’t give birth to hatred and hostility. Instead, they began to admire and respect her as if she’s a goddess.
Liu Yue’s method of dealing with people is unpredictable.
Last year’s state banquet wasn’t as frightening and shocking as this year’s state banquet.
The information was transmitted at a rapid speed. The 400,000 soldiers outside the city gate were ordered to retreat and stay stationed 30 miles from the city gate.
The soldiers from the South Courtyard didn’t move because they no longer have someone overseeing them.
They withdrew their drawn bow, lay down the flag and stilled the drums (ceased fighting).
Everyone felt their heart slow down. Fortunately, there was no upheaval or fighting. Sheng Jing is still intact and the same as before.
The sky is still the same sky. The position is still the same position. There is just an extra regent within the royal court. No problem. It doesn’t matter who sits on that position, it’s still the same.
All the court officials finally realized this point.
The cool breeze flew about as New Year approaches.
With 400,000 soldiers under her mand, it was a breeze for Liu Yue to take control of Yelu Ji’s forces.
In three days, Liu Yue was able to quickly take control of the South Courtyard. The master of the South Courtyard was changed and the military power of the South Courtyard hub fell into Liu Yue’s hands.
Those who didn’t accept the oute was all imprisoned.
At the state banquet, during that critical juncture, Liu Yue was able to stabilize her power. In the future, she would have an iron grip on the regime and unlimited prestige.
After the three days past:
“Regent, not good! Not good! There is an army approaching!” Ku Za Mu rushed into the Flying Earth Palace. The officials inside the hall that were discussing court matters immediately became silent.
How e there is another big army? Where did this army e from?
“There is no problem. It’s Tuo Bi Mu and the others that have e,” Liu Yue waved her hand, calmly responding.
Tuo Bi Mu? Didn’t he already arrive long ago? Wasn’t he stationed 30 miles outside the city gate? So why did he e again?
The officials were full of doubts as they looked at Liu Yue.
Liu Yue smiled but didn’t explain.
