Looking at the emperor and empress on the steps again, the couple were still chatting and laughing, completely ignoring them.
The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he felt that things seemed to be gradually getting out of their control.
"Your Highness?" A minister beside him called out cautiously and softly.
Prince Su remained as stiff as a stone statue, with no reaction at all.
"The Emperor's son?" Empress Dowager Wu could no longer sit still. With the help of the palace maids, she stepped down from the sedan chair tremblingly.
Prince Su remained motionless.
Buzz buzz buzz...
The crowd began to stir slightly, with whispers rising and falling.
Wu Daoqi's face became uglier and uglier, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Finally, he quietly put his right hand behind his back and made a hidden gesture.

Li Wei nodded in agreement and slowly stood up, her wide phoenix robe moving without wind.
"Children, play music!"
As the prelude of "March into Battle" sounded, Li Wei slowly walked to the edge of the Danbi and looked down at the huge rebel army from a high position.
The wave of spiritual power spread out in an instant...
