Ren Yunpeng made a bow: "I understand, Your Majesty."
Empress Guo nodded lightly: "Everyone can rest assured that when the child in my belly is born, I will return power and will not imitate King Qin's ambition to declare herself emperor as a mere woman."
Ren Yunpeng and Bai Yuhu exchanged a look, secretly relieved.
"The Jiuli Dynasty's reinforcements will arrive soon, prepare to welcome them. Once the army is regrouped, we will first take Jizhou, and then seize..."
Before Empress Guo could finish, hurried footsteps approached the door. The newly appointed Jinyiwei Commander, Guo Yunqi, rushed in with a panicked expression: "Reporting to the Empress, King Qin has appeared, like a god walking on air. The front line has collapsed, and the Qin Army is advancing directly towards the Capital!"
The atmosphere in the room fell silent, and Empress Guo stood up: "Walking on air? Truly?"
