Chapter 938: The Inner Palace Compound Conflict! Erupts Completely!

They charged into the imperial palace without a single guard stopping them.

The island nation's civilians rushed straight into the inner palace compound.

"All of you, get out! This is the inner compound!"

At the inner compound gate, a few female guards still remained—Sovereign Jiazi's last shred of loyal defenders.

"We want to see Sovereign Jiazi!"

"Bring Jiazi out!"

"Drive this criminal Jiazi out of the island nation!"

"…"

"The Sovereign isn't someone you can see just because you want to!" the female guard shouted furiously. "All of you, get out of the imperial palace!"

As she spoke, she also summoned a Platinum-grade Swift Wolf Spider and placed it at Damenkou.

"Anyone who dares to enter, I'll kill them!"

Seeing how ferocious this female guard was, many of the civilians who had wanted to charge into the inner palace compound were scared off.

"Please, I'm begging you!" an auntie dropped straight to her knees and slammed her head hard against the ground. "Let Jiazi leave the island nation! We don't want to die yet!"

"Yeah! We don't want to die yet!"

"Please, just let us see Sovereign Jiazi once!"

"…"

When hard tactics failed, they switched to soft ones.

To save their own lives, these civilians very decisively knelt down!

After that, the other civilians followed suit, dropping to their knees in waves.

Outside the inner palace compound gate, the kneeling civilians stretched all the way out into the distance.

Su Yang saw that everyone had knelt, and felt too awkward to remain standing, so he simply found an unnoticed dead angle and sat down.

Of the two female guards on gate duty, one softened and said, "I'll go ask!"

"No need to ask. All of you, go back!"

At that moment, Danmu Baihui walked out: "The Sovereign doesn't wish to see you. Go back!"

The civilians blocking the gate were cowed by Danmu Baihui's imposing presence and instantly fell silent again.

Su Yang, with absolutely none of a master's dignity, subtly stirred things up from the shadows once more.

"Then Jiazi get out here! She's a criminal of our island nation—make her come out!"

"If not for her, my little brother's family wouldn't have vanished without even a corpse to bury!"

"If not for her, my soldier son wouldn't have died such a miserable death!"

"She's a criminal of our island nation!"

"Make her get out of the island nation!"

"We don't want to die with her!"

"…"

The civilians' furious shouts reached Jiazi's ears loud and clear.

Jiazi lay on the bed in her bedroom, wrapped herself completely in the blankets—she felt as if her whole world was about to collapse.

Su Yang, sitting in the corner, heard these civilians cursing Jiazi and felt a little sorry for her too.

The higher you stand, the harder you fall!

When the shadow of death looms and every crime is pinned on Jiazi's head, the island nation's people stop caring whether she's their Sovereign or not.

The more Danmu Baihui listened, the angrier she grew—she truly wanted to kill all these civilians.

But she didn't dare!

Once she laid hands on civilians in broad daylight, Jiazi would be utterly finished!

Moreover, among these civilians were island nation soldiers in military uniform.

That's right—they too had been arranged by General Zao Tian to join the protest ranks.

All to pressure Jiazi!

Danmu Baihui demanded loudly, "Do you have any idea what will happen if the Sovereign falls into Su Yang's hands?"

The moment that question left her mouth, Su Yang, hiding in the corner, awkwardly rubbed his nose.

A beast tamer stepped forward and shouted back, "So what? The whole thing was Jiazi's fault to begin with! She's the one who provoked Su Yang—she's the root of all this!"

"Right! If not for her, we wouldn't have lost so many brothers!" a middle-aged island nation soldier in uniform also said. "My family was killed by Su Yang, but I hate Jiazi even more. If not for her, how could we have gone up against the Huaxia Federation? How could we possibly be a match for the Huaxia Federation?"

"If not for her, we wouldn't have entered the deep-sea zone, and my little brother's family wouldn't have died!"

"No matter how you put it, Jiazi is selfish. She dares to make mistakes, but she doesn't dare to take responsibility!"

"She's the eternal sinner of the island nation!"

"If Su Yang hadn't taken a fancy to her, she should have been cut to pieces!"

"…"
