Shen Miao frowned. After a while, she said coldly, “They’re coming at me, right?”
Eunuch Deng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “Princess Consort…”

The reason why they chose this time to attack the city was none other than because they wanted to avenge Ye Maocai and Lu Zhengchun and fight with the royal family to the death. Shen Miao was pregnant with Xie Jingxing’s child. Perhaps in their opinion, if they killed Shen Miao and the child, Xie Jingxing would be in so much pain that he wanted to die. ????????????r????????????.????o????
To Xie Jingxing, this was the best retaliation.
“How many troops are there in the city and how many guards are there in the palace?” Shen Miao asked.
“There are enough imperial guards to protect you, but those people have already started to kill the commoners outside Long Ye. Once they enter the city, they will definitely kill indiscriminately. These people are cruel by nature and are mixed in the crowd. If we want to deal with them, we have to mobilize a large number of imperial guards. This way, there won’t be enough of them in the palace to protect you.’
Shen Miao frowned. “In other words, it’s either me or the people.”
Eunuch Deng was silent. He did not know how to answer.
“I understand.” Shen Miao nodded. “Send out the imperial guards to protect the people first.”
“Princess Consort!” Eunuch Deng was stunned. “You can’t put your life at risk.
If you’re in any danger, Prince Rui will kill us all.”
“It’s not that I want to put my life at risk.” Shen Miao said, “Do you really think those people are only outside the city? I’m afraid some of them have already sneaked into the city. What they’re doing is nothing more than instigating the fear of the people. If I still keep the imperial guards within the palace, the people will be easily instigated by their words. If the people are wavering, even if this palace is impregnable, it will fall apart. His Highness is coming back. Nothing can go wrong at this point.” Seeing that Eunuch Deng still did not agree, Shen Miao said, “Besides, I won’t risk my life. Before His Highness left, he left some people for me. They will protect me.”

Lu Zhengchun and Ye Maocai’s last move was disgusting. If Shen Miao only cared about herself and did not care about the lives of the commoners, after this matter was over, even if Xie Jingxing ascended the throne in the future, he would be called selfish and cold. As an emperor, the most important thing he needed was the support of the people. If he lost the support of the people, his foundation would not be stable in the beginning. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Noᴠelꜰire
For the sake of Xie Jingxing, she could not let the imperial guards only protect the palace.
Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, Eunuch Deng did not insist and followed her instructions.
Shen Miao, on the other hand, was not as calm as she looked. She frowned. If it were in the past, it would have been fine, but at this juncture, she was pregnant and could easily be taken advantage of.
No matter what, she had to protect the child in her stomach.
When Luo Tan received the news and rushed over, she was also worried. She persuaded her, “Cousin, why don’t you find a place to hide now and wait until after the child is born? It’s not safe in the palace now. Everyone knows that you’re in the palace, so the rebels will naturally know. Once the imperial guards are sent out, they will sneak in and attack you..”
