"The Empress Dowager is dead!!!"
In an instant, everyone turned to look in that direction.
They saw the head of the Empress Dowager, hanging on the city wall, her eyes wide open in death.

"Your subject is willing to submit! May the Regent live a thousand years!"
"Your subject is willing to submit! Long live the Regent!"
"Your subject is willing to submit! Long live the Regent!"
