Chapter 142: The Rise of Defiance
As the coup edges closer to realization, Lin Yuer finds herself at a crossroads. The tension in the capital is palpable, and her supporters grow restless, unsure of what will happen next. The once peaceful streets are now filled with whispers of betrayal, and the palace is under constant watch. Yet, Lin Yuer remains calm, resolute in her belief that the empire's future is worth fighting for.
She convenes a meeting with her most trusted advisors, all of whom are now preparing for a confrontation. The support of the people is on her side, but she knows that a civil war would cost countless lives, and the future of the empire would be forever scarred. There must be a way to defuse the situation before it escalates further.
Her plan is daring, but Lin Yuer has never shied away from risks. She calls for a public address, not just to rally her supporters, but to send a message to the entire empire—especially to General Zhao and his followers. The address, she decides, will take place in the grand square of the capital, where citizens and soldiers alike can hear her words.
