Surprise

The Blooming of Lilies finally came to an end, although it has ended, the citizens were still gathered around the plaza.

"Yingyi, what do we do with the citizens?" asked Song Liya.

"I haven't figured that out yet, maybe we could ask the empress for help?" Yu Yingyi replied.

"Didn't you see? Once they were done with their announcement and the citizens were celebrating, they left," said Song Liya.

Yu Yingyi's eyes widened as she turned to Song Liya. "They left that quickly? I didn't even see them walk down the stage!"

"I didn't see them walk down either, but Jia Xin Yi is a former assassin, she's probably skilled in sneaking away," said Song Liya.

"That does make sense," said Yu Yingyi with a sigh. "I'll announce that the event is over, hopefully, they'll disperse."

Yu Yingyi made her way up onto the stage as she picked up the microphone, "Everyone!"
