The people below were silent for a moment before bursting into cheers. The cheers were deafening, echoing throughout the capital.

In times of imminent danger, the people desperately needed someone to tell them that everything would be fine. They were all very supportive of Shen Miao.

The civil and military officials standing behind her were all moved by this scene.

Words actually had such power. This woman seemed to be very good at knowing what people wanted the most. In just a while, the city walls of Long Ye were more fortified than it had ever been.

Shen Miao turned around and left.

In the next few days, the unrest in Long Ye subsided. Even if some troublemakers tried to sow discord, the commoners would just ignore it.

Seeing that they couldn’t crumble Long Ye from within, the rebels attacked even more crazily outside the city.

Everyday, Shen Miao had to handle the state affairs and go to the watchtower to check the situation. With a pregnant body, she was running around and tiring herself out.

On this day, she woke up early and saw Luo Tan running in. When Luo Tan saw her, she said, “Cousin, someone is here to see you.”

Shen Miao frowned. “Who?” Apart from talking to those court officials, no one would specially come to see her. She did not have many friends and family in Long Ye. The best ones were all in the palace.

“I’ll help you out,” Luo Tan said.

Luo Tan helped Shen Miao out. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw a person sitting at the table. Jingzhe was pouring tea for that person. The person was dressed in green and was as scholarly as she remembered.

Shen Miao cried out in surprise, “Mr. Pei?”

Pei Lang turned around.

Too many things had happened while Pei Lang was gone. Back then, in some ways, Pei Lang’s leaving was the best scenario for the two of them. After all, knowing that they had the memory of their previous life, neither of them knew how to face each other.

When Pei Lang saw Shen Miao, he smiled. “I heard that Long Ye is in trouble and the palace is in chaos. Although I don’t have any extraordinary ability, I can at least share the burden.”

Shen Miao frowned and did not speak for a moment.

Pei Lang smiled. “Don’t think too much. We are both from Ming Qi and are considered compatriots. Moreover, I was your teacher back then, so we’re not completely unrelated. This time, take it that I’m here to help my student.”

He was natural and at ease. Seeing that he seemed to have made peace with the past, Shen Miao was relieved and at ease too.

To Shen Miao, the past was no longer important. She valued the future more. Pei Lang’s appearance could indeed help her solve many problems.

She said, “I’ll owe you another favor.” Last time, it was Pei Lang who took the knife for her.

Pei Lang muttered to himself, “I owe you so much that I can’t repay in my lifetime.” When he looked up at Shen Miao, he said, “Let’s not waste time. Let’s start dealing with the most urgent matter in Long Ye now.”

What was the most urgent thing in Long Ye now? It was naturally to wipe out the rebels and protect the safety of the people in the city. Because of the ongoing war, there were all kinds of memorials from all over the Daliang

Dynasty. It was very difficult for Shen Miao, who was pregnant, to handle it. Moreover, she was about to give birth, so she really could not take on such a burden alone..
