West Border
Ever since Lan Gao Ya heard the news about her limited life, she used all kind of mean to prolong her life and attacked the Ming Kingdom. With her fierce attack, more area around the border went into Pan Kingdom territory.
The soldiers follow her order obediently. They know that their Madam was as scary as their master, which made them terribly afraid. Moreover, Lan Gao Ya would not do anything on the back and do it up front and made it clear with them how cruel her method was.
"Doctor, how is it?" Lan Gao Ya looked towards the doctor.
The doctor shook his head, "You will need a miracle if you want to heal. At this rate, you won't life more than three days."
"Three days is not enough," Lan Gao Ya wanted to destroy the entire Ming Kingdom, how could three days be enough? It was at that time, she heard the news that the capital of Ming Kingdom was surrounded by the Nanglong family and the Mountain Kingdom.
"It will probably take another day before the fall of Ming Kingdom."
Lan Gao Ya smiled, "Do something to prolong my life! I don't want to miss the show."
The doctor shuddered at the cold smile Lan Gao Ya showed to him. The way she smiled was really scary and it sent chills to him. However, it made him understood why the servants and soldiers were all standing carefully. They were all afraid of this woman.

Capital of Ming Kingdom
Every single day, the news the people got was just the loss of their army. Ever since he lost both Lan Teng and Strategist Wu, he knew that the end of Ming Kingdom was near. From the west, Pan Kingdom was approaching and from the east, Nanglong family and Mountain Kingdom was near.
"Which one will arrive first?" Ming Gong turned his head to Xuan Pei.
"Nanglong family, they are nearer and the army blocking their way is weaker," Xuan Pei answered. Observing the situation, he knew that Nanglong family would reach the capital in about three weeks after the fall of Strategist Wu. Now, it has been 18 days and the marching of the army has grown faster.
Ming Gong face darkened. All along, he believed that he was going to be the emperor and reigned over the kingdom. However, now there was not even a kingdom left for him to reign. Everything was going awry.
He didn't have much military power and his followers were mostly the officials. They have told him that there was nothing they could do against Soujin. Most of them were already helpless to the situation because even a powerful figure like Strategist Wu lost against Soujin.
"Xuan Pei, do you think the rest of the soldiers can face off against the enemy?" Ming Gong asked again.
Truthfully, there was no way the Ming Kingdom could face them without any strong leader. The best armies in Ming Kingdom have switched their allegiance and attacked them instead. There was no way they could use the rest of the weaker soldiers to contend against the stronger ones. The fate of Ming Kingdom was already sealed.
"Unless the emperor has powerful army behind him, there is no way the situation can turn to his favor," Xuan Pei answered.
Ming Gong didn't say anything as he walks to the palace. Looking at the tired father of his, he wondered when would be the time for him to stand at the top. But naturally, he didn't want to obtain the kingdom at such time.
"Father, the Nanglong family has reached the capital," he said reporting the situation.
The emperor already knew about it. He stood up, "Dismiss the court, everyone evacuate."
Hearing it, the officials were stunned. Did it mean the emperor planned to give up the Ming Kingdom? The emperor did intend to give up the Ming Kingdom, but not his life. He no longer cared about the kingdom that previously belonged to him since he knew that there was no way for him to hold onto it.
That Nanglong family and Jun family, he should have killed their entire family and didn't allow anyone alive. However, at the same time he knew that should he do that, the military prowess of Ming Kingdom would be halved and during the collaboration battle, he would undoubtedly loss.
So, which would be better, losing to another kingdom or to his people?
He turned to Ming Gong, "Time to go."
Ming Gong nodded. Behind him, Xuan Pei followed quietly and the emperor didn't say anything. Getting down to the basement, they found the empress was already waiting there.
"Your Highness, everything is ready," she said softly.
The emperor nodded and shifted his gaze towards the two people behind him, "The Ming Kingdom is no more. It's time to go."
"Does it mean that we will give up the Ming Kingdom just like that?" Ming Gong was still feeling indignant. He didn't want to leave the place where he was born and raised. He wanted to become the leader after his father and not become a runaway.
"There will come the day when we can return," the emperor answered menacingly. He would not accept defeat. As the legitimate holder of the power, he would return.
With that, the emperor and the crown prince disappeared from Ming Kingdom along with the empress and the new prime minister. These four important people were no longer in the capital anymore.
