Chapter 200: The Calm After the Storm
After the battle, the empire breathes a sigh of relief, but Lin Yuer knows better than to let her guard down. The aftermath is filled with the sound of rebuilding, of cities and families reuniting. The city she had fought to regain control over is now a symbol of strength and resilience, yet there is no time for rest.
Lin Yuer remains in the palace, buried under reports and letters from all corners of the empire. Ministers bring petitions, the people seek justice, and even more rebellions are rumored to be forming in the distant provinces. Lin Yuer understands that, while victory is sweet, it is always fleeting. The true challenge lies in maintaining the peace and ensuring that such betrayals never happen again.
