She stood in place, stunned.
Jing Yiren suddenly stopped reciting, and Lu Ming looked at her somewhat bewildered, "Is it a mistake again?"
"..." Jing Yiren just stood there, her eyes darting around.
Her breathing became somewhat unstable, her lashes trembling slightly.
She lowered her gaze, not even glancing at the words on the wall, and recited those few lines again.
"I beg of you, a three feet long sword; fighting fires atop of the city walls, pledging loyalty until death. I pray for three more prosperous years; thousands of miles of prosperity... long live the nation!"
"..."
As she recited, Jing Yiren took a quiet breath.
How is it that this message, which Little Prince Jin had asked her to convey to her uncle, was here?
Had he died? What did it mean that the enemy had invaded?
Had Little Prince Jin not fulfilled his promise, thus leaving this regret behind in the form of these characters?
