My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2035: Night of Danger

The misty white just smiled without saying anything.

The Queen thought about it seriously and also felt that Halian Jing, now covered in scandal, being a figure used to respect and adoration, would surely not tolerate such slander. He would surely find ways to explain and clear his name.

At such a critical moment, how could there be any other thoughts or actions?

"Alright, continue the offensive in public opinion, leave him no quarter!"

But no one expected, not even the Queen could believe, that at such a critical moment, when everyone was condemning him, Councilman Helian would dare to rebel and thoroughly solidify his reputation as a treacherous schemer!

This night was destined to be a smoke-filled night that history would remember.

Because the once great hero, Councilman Helian, rebelled and was the first to spark a civil war in the Aus Empire.

Yiyi and her companions were in bed and were awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of warning sirens ringing over the city.

The rumbling sirens in the extremely silent night were dense and sharp, like thunder crashing from the sky.

It was particularly alarming, making people lying in bed feel chills all over their bodies, both bewildered and scared, feeling like being hit by a storm but powerless to resist.

All the servants in the villa were so scared that they ran out of bed, gathering on the first floor, their expressions filled with panic, screaming, low crying, extremely fearful.

Madam Aisha also rushed into Yiyi’s room wearing only her outer garments, her face pale, eyes blank and at a loss, looking completely bewildered.

"What happened, what’s going on, why are there such loud sirens and all these chaotic noises? What happened?"

Her tense voice was at a loss for words.

Yiyi had only just woken up, but compared to Madam Aisha and the servants who were all disheveled and panicked, she was evidently much calmer, having already dressed in a short time.

"The civil war has started, Councilman Helian and the Queen’s forces are fighting," she spoke concisely, her face also slightly pale.

Although it was anticipated that the civil war was inevitable, it was still unimaginable that it would come so quickly, so suddenly, happening in the dead of night, leaving people utterly unprepared.

Now, it’s unknown what the situation outside is like, how the fighting is going, which side has the upper hand, or where the battles have reached.

It’s false to say there’s no nervousness, once a war breaks out, it’s the ordinary civilians who suffer first.

Once the city plunges into chaos, any terrible event could happen.

"They’re fighting, they’re really fighting," Madam Aisha, who always believed that although the two sides were not on good terms, a true civil war would not break out. She, being kind-hearted, assumed others would also act in kind, so she was truly scared, almost fainting, gripping her hands tremulously with cold sweat streaming down, "What should we do, I’ll call your father to have him come and protect us, take us somewhere safe."

Yiyi snorted lightly in her heart, that old man hadn’t cared for her and her mother for a long time.

This issue probably had early signs, but she hadn’t noticed at the time. Previously, Governor Yun had asked if they would follow him to his new post in the south, she naturally didn’t want to leave, so she refused.

Governor Yun did not insist on keeping them either, nor did he give any hint to them about the impending conflict. Seeing she refused to leave, he rightly abandoned them, so relying on him now? There’s no hope.

"Mom, it’s impossible to leave now, he won’t care about us. He is the Queen’s favored minister, he should have known about this big event long ago, yet he never informed us to seek refuge, you should understand, he never cared for us, he abandoned us long ago!"
