Earthquake in Dongqing (VIII)

Jiang Pengji sneered. "I refuse to leave––even if the Emperor decides to move the capital city."

Huang Song wore a complex expression. He felt like Jiang Pengji was an entirely new person. When she removed her lazy and laid-back facade and revealed her true persona, he felt enlightened. She earned his admiration, but her choice was regretful.

Huang Song lowered his voice to counsel Jiang Pengji. He sincerely had her best interest at heart. "Whether you are willing to leave or not, I'm afraid the decision is not yours to make. If you make the Emperor angry, blood will flow. This isn't a joke. If you don't leave now, there's a good chance he'll hold you hostage in the future."
