This power will suppress her inner demons and calm her murderous impulses!

But after less than two hours of being away, the faith power he had gained was completely wiped out by the increase in hatred!

She was speechless!

She had anticipated that someone would come and cause trouble by sneaking away this time, but she didn't expect there to be so many people. She also didn't expect that those people, who were kneeling on the ground two hours ago, would be so grateful to her, would turn out to be full of resentment two hours later!

On her way back, she kept thinking, "Did I do something wrong?"

Now she finally understands why no one resisted the previous tyrants who ruled for so many years, while she has only been empress for a few months and has already seen so many opportunists!

It seems the methods weren't ruthless enough, Thunder!

Just as the next person was about to retort, she swiftly dodged past and snapped the person's neck with her bare hands!

Next up is the second one, and the third one!

Lin Ru looked at her hands, which were now fully healed, with a hint of disdain.

He looked at everyone present with impatience!

"What?! Does anyone else have a problem with this?"

At that moment, in the crowd, a person pointed a trembling finger at Lin Ru, who was covered in blood!

“Tyrant…tyrant! You are…uh…”

Ning Gui angrily pulled the long sword out of the man's body!

"You ungrateful wretches, who are you calling a tyrant?"

"Have you ever seen a tyrant like Your Majesty? Have you ever seen a tyrant who would risk his own life to pray for rain and water for the people?"

"People like you deserve to live forever in the shadow of Prince Shun!"

"Your Majesty! Leave this to me! I will never let you down again!"

"You can go to the city gate without worry!"

Lin Ru nodded approvingly at Ning Gui's appearance.

Then, instead of the trembling, kneeling commoners beside them, they walked out of the government office step by step!

Seeing that its master had left, Xiaoyue quickly followed after him!

Lin Ru walked down the street, her aloof demeanor and unwavering steps standing out starkly against the chaotic street and the hurried passersby!

She didn't know how long she had walked, but suddenly someone in the crowd recognized her!

I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

"Good heavens, who said Her Majesty the Empress has escaped? Isn't this Her Majesty the Empress?"

"Yes! I knew Her Majesty the Queen would never abandon us."

"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."

"Your Majesty, save us!"

"My God, it really is Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Why is she covered in blood? Could she have been injured somewhere?"

"Her Majesty the Queen is a fairy and will never get hurt!"

The people watched as Lin Ru calmly walked through the crowd, and the tall white wolf behind her!

They all stopped what they were doing, feeling as if they had found their anchor!

They all knelt down and watched Lin Ru head towards the East Gate!

The same thing that was received here quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers!

The soldiers looked back and saw that amidst the flames of war, the people of the city were kneeling on both sides of the street, and in the middle of the road, a woman in a sky-blue dress was slowly walking towards them!

The firelight illuminated the woman's beautiful face. She wore a sky-blue dress, and on the hem and cuffs of the dress were stains of bright red blood! Her face held an expression of utter contempt!

Isn't that their Empress?

They were instantly excited and full of energy. Although General Hai did not leave the group and repeatedly assured them that Her Majesty the Empress would never abandon the city and flee!

But faced with the enemy's provocations and insults, they lost their confidence!

Now, I can finally stand up straight!

They retaliated with insults!

"Your Majesty, it really is His Majesty who has come."

"Look everyone, Her Majesty the Queen hasn't abandoned us."

"She is walking towards us step by step."

"We must live up to Her Majesty's expectations and not let her down."

"Yes, everyone, kill them! Kill these beasts who gossip behind our backs!"

"You shameless gossips, His Majesty is coming right now."

"Let's see what else you have to say?"

"Our Queen is with us."

"Where is your lord?! Always hiding out of range! What kind of man is he?"

The Marquis of Zhennan watched as those who were initially at a disadvantage were now acting as if they had been injected with chicken blood, not only able to resist their attacks but also cursing him, their commander, at the same time!

It made him start to doubt whether what these people were saying was true or false!

He waved to the people behind him, "Gao Jie! Are you sure someone saw that little girl sneaking away?"

Can you guarantee the accuracy of this information?

An ordinary-looking old man stepped out from among the group of strategists!

He bowed respectfully to the Marquis of Zhennan!

"Reporting to Your Excellency! This news came from my younger brother. He has planted several spies within the government office!"

“My brother has all the family members of those people under his control, so they certainly wouldn’t lie!”

The Marquis of Zhennan continued to ask, "Didn't you say that your brother would lead people to the courtyard where that little brat lives to expose the truth about her abandoning the city and fleeing? Why hasn't chaos broken out there after all this time?"

"We've now taken the upper hand in this battle. If the news that that little girl surnamed Lin abandoned the city and fled is confirmed, then this city will fall without a fight!"

"How do you brothers usually keep in touch? Quickly send him another message to speed things up!"

Gao Jie nodded respectfully and then retreated, but inwardly he was panicking!

According to his agreement with his brother, regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not, a message would be sent out from the south gate at 7 PM sharp, but now there is no message at all!

I couldn't help but start to have my doubts!

Thinking of this, he decided to quietly bypass the crowd and wait at the south gate with his trusted confidants!

But I didn't expect that he would just turn around and leave!

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of what looked like a person standing on the opposite city wall!

Even Hai Jingming and the others treated this person with utmost respect upon his arrival!

Judging from the person's height, he looked like a child!

Child……

He mentioned a possibility: an involuntary pupillary earthquake!

He considered this possibility, and so did the Marquis of Zhennan and those around him!

They all stared in disbelief at the person standing atop the city wall!

After blocking a wave of attacks, Hai Jingming and Wu Ling also turned their attention to the woman standing at the edge of the city wall!
