332 The Plot Did Not Succeed
Upon hearing of the rebellion, the ministers below were all in an uproar; some were angrily denouncing it, while others were terrified.
"Everyone remain calm. First, escort the Emperor to a safe place."
Fortunately, Lord Zhang took charge of the situation, stabilizing it and instructing people to escort the Emperor away first.
By then, the sounds of killing and shouting had already reached the great hall. Clearly, the King of Chu was about to break in.
Seated on high, the Emperor was visibly angry but not panicked. She remained steadily on her platform.
Ignoring the ministers' pleas for her to leave, the Emperor seemed to have a plan, calmly awaiting the King of Chu's arrival.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps and shouts, the King of Chu led his army into the great hall, where they stood in confrontation with the Imperial Guard.
