Just beyond the wall, Prince Xiang's army pressed on, laying siege to the city.
Was it rebellion or an imperial command to enter the capital? Yan Mo no longer knew whose words to trust, but he knew that if he did not open the city gates, the Commandery Princess and the County Princess before him would rush at him first!
The person Yan Mo sent for an imperial decree never returned, and the only order he received was Song Zhi's words from half a two-hour ago.
Just as Yan Mo hesitated, at the corner of the city walls, a torch-bearing procession appeared.
"Who are those people?" Yan Mo asked in surprise, looking intently.
Han Xuan'er suddenly became excited and tightly grasped Bao Yi's hand.
"It's... it's my father and his men!"
"Prime Minister Lu Bingxin welcomes the return of Prince Xiang to the capital, seeks redress for the Xiao Family, once the Pingnan Marquis, and for the Gu Family."
