She didn't bother with that and went straight onto the stage.
Closing her eyes, she quietly waited for Chen Ming to begin.
"Begin!" At the command, Li Xingwan opened her eyes, revealing the utter panic in them, as well as the horror of seeing her own fate. She turned and started to run; her skirt flew up in that moment.
She wasn't actually running, just acting in place, but she managed to convey a sense that the wind was whipping up her skirt.
Like a flower blooming amidst slaughter, about to wilt away.
Desperately trying to escape, desperately trying to save herself.
"Father Emperor! Father Emperor! Save me!"
"Save Ningning!"
"Save Ningning."
But with the city steeped in blood, how could her cries truly bring rescue, bring her Father Emperor to her aid?
She fell hard, a strong sense of shattering overcame her, along with a sense of impending doom, suddenly enveloping her whole body.
It made one want to go and save her.
