The news that the Ninth Lord's Estate would distribute the antidote for free tomorrow had already spread throughout the entire Imperial City in less than two hours. Regardless of whether the antidote was real or fake, those people in despair had a trace of hope as they came to the Ninth Lord's Estate to line up. Even if the antidote would only be distributed tomorrow, they had already started to line up today. They were willing to line up for an entire day and night.
As for those with some status, they were still hesitating. They wondered if they should line up outside the Ninth Lord's Estate or submit to the Empress and the Second Prince to obtain the antidote.
However, it was unknown if the antidote in the Ninth Lord's Estate was real or fake, but the antidote in the Empress's Estate was real. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, quite a few people still chose to submit to the Empress and the Second Prince. After all, one could only choose one of the two.
