SHE LIVE STREAMS MODERN LIFE TO ANCIENT PEOPLE AFTER FAILING TO CONQUER THE EMPE

Chapter 74: Hearts in Turmoil, Emperor in Fear and Panic

Chapter 74
Angry cries gradually arose from the crowd, demanding the imperial court provide an explanation.

Pei Changying stood grimly on the high city wall.

He watched the increasingly unruly citizens, hearing their ignorant and selfish insults word by word, the veins on the back of his hand protruding as he trembled with rage.

Meanwhile, Gu Sang, who had witnessed Consort Zhao's leap from the city walls, felt her throat go dry, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

Consort Zhao.

You succeeded.

We succeeded too.

But why does my chest ache so much?

"Sang Sang, what happened? Tell me, don't scare me." Lu Mufei turned to see Gu Sang's face suddenly streaked with tears.

He could not hear Gu Sang's conversation with the ancients, as the system automatically blocked outsiders' sight and hearing.

So Lu Mufei had no idea what Gu Sang had experienced.

He crouched beside her in confusion and alarm, gazing at her carefully.

"I'm fine, I'm just too moved."

"The butterfly that was once caged for the emperor's amusement."

"Has now transformed...burned its life away, dazzling for a moment, filling me with pride." Gu Sang had the system turn off the live broadcast, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and forced a strained smile.

The people's hearts were in turmoil.

The citizens were crying out in grievance.

For now, Pei Changying would not send troops to attack the Elder Princess again.

As time passed, the imperial court would wait for the storm to settle, then find a reasonable excuse to pacify the people's hearts, but the shattered cup could never be made whole again.

Consort Zhao's death was like a stone dropped into a lake.

At first, it would cause a hundred-foot splash, earth-shattering.

But soon, it would sink to the bottom, unable to even create a ripple.

Though small, this stone would become an immovable, inextricable foundation, and in the future, countless sacrificial stones would fill the entire lake!

*Ding!*

"Consort Zhao sacrificed her life righteously, earning 810,000+ merit points, awakening over one million people."

"Special condition unlocked! According to the Host's wish, 100,000 merit points can be deducted to grant Consort Zhao a chance at reincarnation in a future life. Deduct merit points?"

In other words...

She could be reborn in the future world she had longed for?

As soon as Gu Sang spoke, her throat felt parched: "Deduct!"

The moment those words fell.

Gu Sang felt something invisible, intangible yet perceptible, disappear from her being.

Perhaps it was that unseen, untouchable merit.

"Sister Sang, don't cry."

Consort Zhao's gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Gu Sang looked up to see a virtual screen reflected before her, the connection line having opened at some point.

At the city walls.
