Behind Jun Ning were only two guards; Jing Shu didn't come today either. The little girl complained that the sun was too intense and scorching, so she stayed home to rest.
Facing the hostility of these elderly, weak, women, and children, it's neither possible to fight nor kill them; it's not good in any way...
These two guards were simply incapable of dealing with so many elderlies and women.
They could only protect Jun Ning's retreat.
Jun Ning refused to retreat.
She knelt down with a thunk, without avoiding or dodging, boldly and openly said.
"I know the villagers have held great resentment over the years because of their experiences. I understand, and can see why. As a princess, nourished by the common people's offerings, yet I let them go hungry. I deserve to accept everyone's punishment."
"Today, regardless of how much hostility everyone has towards me, it doesn't matter. I will endure it all as if bearing the blame in place of my father."
