Everyone was shocked and quickly turned their heads.
In the distance on the main road, they saw a procession slowly approaching. Two columns of cavalry led the way, exuding an imposing aura, with a wide sedan chair that almost occupied half of the street.
It was the Emperor's Imperial Carriage!
Everyone hurried to the sides of the road, knelt down, and bowed. Yet, Shang Ruyi frowned deeply at this sight—Yanmen City was already at a critical juncture, but the Emperor seemed completely oblivious to the crisis, concerned only with his own grandiosity. Who among the soldiers would still be willing to give their all under such circumstances?
Soon, the Imperial Carriage reached them.
Lowering her head, Shang Ruyi first heard the sound of hooves passing by, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. When they had passed, a gigantic sedan chair slowly came into her view.
Then it stopped in front of her.
