Chapter 106: The Battle for the Empire
The storm breaks when Lin Yuer's agents discover that Lady Hua has made her move. The rebellion is not just a plot within the court—it has spread to the streets, with several of the military's most powerful generals pledging their loyalty to Lady Hua's cause. A large faction of the imperial army marches toward the capital, their goal clear: to overthrow Lin Yuer and restore the old order.
Lin Yuer, ever prepared, has already mobilized her forces. The capital, which had been so peaceful for the past few months, now becomes a city on the edge of war. Lin Yuer's military advisors, including General Wei, begin to fortify the palace and the surrounding areas, preparing for an impending siege.
At the same time, Lin Yuer begins to rally the citizens of the capital, urging them to stand firm and support her in the coming battle. She speaks to the people directly, reminding them of the reforms she has implemented, the progress they have made, and the future they are building together. Her words inspire many, and the support she garners among the common people swells.
As Lady Hua's army approaches the gates of the capital, Lin Yuer prepares to face her enemies on the battlefield. The fate of the empire will be decided in the coming days, and she knows that only one side will emerge victorious.
