Chapter 393: People from Dongli Country Have Arrived
Half an incense stick later.
In Tongzhou City, Chu Baihan stood in front of a porridge stall.
Many commoners began to gather around.
A child was tripped and nearly swallowed by the crowd.
Chu Baihan quickly stepped forward and picked up the child.
She patiently wiped the child’s face with the corner of her garment and then carried him to a higher spot.
"Everyone, I am Princess Chu Baihan. Please listen to me. Although we have won the battle, the court will not end here, nor will it abandon you. I know some of you have lost relatives, and your homes have been destroyed..."
"You should go to the government office to register your situations. Within three days, the court’s silver and food will be in place. At that time, officials will help you find your relatives and provide you with disaster relief silver."
"So, please have confidence in the court. This conflict occurred too suddenly, and our losses were heavy. The fault lies with me. As the Great General of Nanduan Kingdom, I did not take precautions and failed to stop the prince’s vicious ambition, which cost many innocent lives. Therefore, I apologize to you."
With that, she bowed deeply to the crowd.
