168. Final Battle
Outside Hongzhou City, the sound of battle still thundered. Yet, no one inside the city was shocked anymore. Ye Li was leisurely sitting in an empty teahouse, sipping tea. The open window allowed her a clear view of the soldiers valiantly guarding the distant city tower. Zhuo Jing and Lin Han stood silently nearby, while Qin Feng, who used to follow her everywhere, was nowhere in sight. Mo Hua, tasked with protecting Ye Li, looked at those around her in silence, feeling conflicted.
"Princess Consort, the northern side of the city probably won't hold much longer," reported Wei Lin hastily.
Ye Li sipped her tea and pondered for a moment. "Are all the preparations complete?"
Lin Han nodded. "Rest assured, Princess Consort, everything has been taken care of. Please leave Hongzhou as soon as possible."
Ye Li replied calmly, "Since everything is ready, there's no rush. Zhuo Jing, how are your preparations?"
