Jiang Yichun gently patted her back, speaking softly, "The loss of power in the Capital City is only temporary; the situation happened too suddenly. Most of the military force is in the hands of the emperor's trusted aides, so there won't be major issues. Moreover, King Rui needs the support of officials and the citizens in the Capital City to ascend to the throne; he won't easily kill officials' families."
Bai Ruozhu wiped her eyes, trying to calm herself down. She was too shocked. As a modern person, she had never witnessed a change of dynasty; life was always peaceful, unlike in ancient times where talk of rebellion and usurping power happened so casually.
