Ye Tangtang shook her head. "Don't you still have to return to your own country? You're not from Northern Li."
Jun Yuyuan abruptly came to his senses. That was right. He wasn't from here, and he would have to go back someday.
But... now he suddenly felt reluctant to leave. Was it because of this little girl? She seemed to be someone he had never expected to enter his life.
"Prince Yue and Grand Secretary Lu have brought men to surround the entire Imperial City. I heard he has twenty thousand troops, while the Imperial Guards have fewer than three thousand."
"Then what are we waiting here for? Hurry up and leave! Once the palace falls, none of us will survive."
"Prince Yue really has some nerve. He usually looks too frail to withstand a gust of wind, yet he's actually rebelling!"
Many eunuchs and palace maids had already packed their belongings. They were only waiting for the attackers to breach the Imperial City, when rushing out might offer them a thread of hope for survival.
Ye Tangtang said, "Prince Yue brought so many men! I have to find Daddy Emperor Father. He'll definitely know what to do."
"No. You're not going anywhere. The palace is too dangerous right now. Stay by my side." Jun Yuyuan caught Ye Tangtang's hand. "Besides, you're so short. What if you get trampled underfoot?"
Ye Tangtang: "..."
It seemed she had been looked down on again.
Jun Yuyuan! Too much, too much! You've gone way too far!!
Below the city wall.
Dressed entirely in white, the King of Yue looked like a frail scholar. No one had expected him to be so bold as to surround the palace and attempt to seize power and usurp the throne.
Ye Tangtang leaned over the city wall
