Chapter 45
The citizens who were panicked just a second ago, upon hearing the Elder Princess's words, mostly knelt excitedly before Gu Sang.
But some citizens were still puzzled, murmuring that it was supposed to be the Emperor who sent the Elder Princess to save them, wasn't it?
Shouldn't it be the imperial family who rescues them?
"Elder Princess, how is the situation under control?"
"Thanks to your cure and isolation methods, everything is under control now. The death toll is less than a thousand."
In the past, when plagues broke out, the deaths would be in the tens of thousands!
Gu Sang and the Elder Princess exchanged a smile, both seeing the blazing ambition in each other's eyes as they looked at the kneeling citizens expressing gratitude.
From this moment on, the countdown for Pei Changying's imperial throne had begun!
Gu Sang asked the people to rise.
She heard the doubts and confusion from below, so she immediately pointed at the Elder Princess in front of all the citizens.
With words that were resolute, powerful, and shook their hearts, she said, "I know you are all wondering why it was me who saved you and not the Emperor."
"Very well, I shall tell you now!"
"Half a month ago, I learned of the plague that broke out here and passed on the cure and isolation methods to the Emperor! But not only did the Emperor not act, he even threatened to force me to become his consort by holding your lives at stake!"
"Transmitting the cure through illusions was already my limit; I had no way to descend upon this world in person. But the Emperor did not believe me and grew increasingly selfish, disregarding your lives."
"I did not want to see the citizens become displaced refugees, with corpses littering the city. So I sent word to the Elder Princess, asking her to bring the cure for the plague."
"You must remember, the Elder Princess was your destined savior."
"And that mighty Emperor, in order to force me to appear as his consort, heartlessly abandoned you! This is no secret; you can ask the imperial physicians if it is true!"
"It was the Elder Princess who defied the Emperor's orders and came to save you, risking her own life!"
"And the Emperor who treats human life as mere grass, had clearly researched the cure long ago but delayed taking action! Would you still support such an Emperor?"
These few short sentences left all the citizens stunned.
They immediately turned to look at the imperial physicians.
The physicians could only bite their lips and lower their heads in disappointment, acknowledging before the citizens that the Emperor indeed knew about the plague and had a cure, but delayed giving the order to save lives.
So it was true...
The Divine Lady spoke the truth?
The Emperor selfishly abandoned an entire city of citizens?
To force the Divine Lady to appear as his consort, he was willing to discard tens of thousands of lives?

The people went from shock and disappointment to coldness in their hearts, then to self-mockery.
They had already survived death; what was there to be heartbroken about? It was nothing new for Emperors to be heartless!
Soon, the citizens accepted this fact and shouted loudly at the Elder Princess:
