"Yes, I will take care of it immediately." But a sinister glint flashed across his face.
Wei Wangqing went back inside to prepare his speech in his mind. After all, he was about to give a speech in front of the entire city, and he was a little nervous.
"Your Highness, everything is ready."
"Hmm." Wei Wangqing took a deep breath and walked out.
Wei Wangqing stood on the city wall, looking at the people. Some were poorly clothed and starving, some were terminally ill and on the verge of death. There were even children coughing up blood. Wei Wangqing couldn't help but be moved, and therefore hated those who had poisoned them even more.
"Fellow citizens, I am the Sixth Princess, Wei Wangqing. I stand here today to tell you all, do not give up. The plague will not defeat us; what will defeat us is the human heart. Besides, this is not a plague at all!"
The people were in uproar. If it wasn't a plague, then what was it? How did they become like this?
The city lord's face darkened instantly; the sixth princess could not be allowed to live.

They wondered who could make the royal family bow down.
This truly inspired the people, and they were about to be saved. Just hang in there a little longer, just a little longer and everything would be alright.
At this moment, someone suddenly knelt down, saying, "Long live Your Highness!"
All the people reacted and shouted in unison, "Long live Your Highness!" Each shout was filled with their hopes, dreams, and gratitude.
Standing in a corner, Lin Dagui of the Lin family was extremely excited. "Look, look! I never misjudge people. This sixth princess is truly powerful!"
Chen Zhiyan, watching from behind, was also deeply moved. Such a person seemed born to stand at the top and command respect.
