Chapter 1263 The Emperor Has Already——
"No--!"
A shrill scream was heard amid the roar of the fire dragon, the exclamations of everyone, and the chaos as if the entire world was collapsing.
No one heard it.
However, Nan Yan's heart was shattered at this moment!
She stood stiffly where she was, watching the top of the tower collapse, stirring up a huge heat wave that swept across the surroundings, and tongues of fire that almost burned past her eyes.
At that moment, Jian Ruocheng suddenly hugged her and held her in his arms.
The flames instantly engulfed his back.
Nan Yan was held in his arms, listening to the screams and cries around her, the sound of falling debris, and the ferocious roar of flames, but at this moment, she could feel nothing.
She even couldn't feel the severe pain when the flames burned through her clothes, burned her fingers, and set the corners of her clothes on fire.
Only Jian Ruocheng's arms held her tightly.
The flames swept through, leaving a mess on the ground. He slowly loosened his arms and looked down at her: "Are you okay?"
But Nan Yan did not answer him.
At this moment, she was completely stiff and cold.
Although the fire demon was raging and the heat wave was oppressive, Nan Yan's face was completely bloodless and pale and cold. There was even no warmth in her eyes.
Because she saw that the tower had completely collapsed.
Everyone who saw this scene was in despair!
"Nan Yan..."
He wanted to say something, but seeing the look in her eyes, he couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, he felt a sharp pain from behind - or rather, he was the first to feel the pain. The hand that was holding Nan Yan's shoulder suddenly lost its strength, and his fingers loosened. He saw Nan Yan fall down softly and kneel on the ground.
"Nan Yan!"
He quickly squatted down, trying to hold her or protect her.
But when he stretched out his hand, he felt that Nan Yan was shaking like a leaf in the wind.
She could no longer feel anyone running or shouting around her, as if her entire soul had been pulled out of that cold body.
At this moment, she could only look at the flames in front of her.
It was as if her entire world was burned to ashes in an instant.
Zhu Feng...
Zhu Feng...
How could you—
How could you?!
At this moment, a panicked cry came from behind: "Empress!"
Nan Yan turned around in panic and saw Xu Miaoyin in the crowd. Her face was pale and she was staring at the flames rising into the sky with lifeless eyes. She was like a puppet with its strings cut, having lost her soul.
The concubines and servants behind her all tried their best to support her.
"Empress!"
"Empress!"
Everyone's voice was shrill and filled with despair.
Even the imperial guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were rushing up from the surroundings stopped at this moment and looked at the sea of fire in front of them, each of them stunned.
The Emperor is inside, but—
With such a huge fire, who can survive such a fire?
Even the queen lost her reaction, which showed that even she was in despair.
At this time, everyone did not give up, but was enveloped by this sudden despair, which made them lose the ability to react and even lose their strength.
The entire Da Ci'en Temple fell into an indescribable silence in an instant.
At this moment, Nan Yan gritted her teeth and supported herself on the ground with both hands, allowing the rough sand and gravel to rub her palms, but she took advantage of the pain to stand up all of a sudden.
Jian Ruocheng looked at her suddenly: "Nan Yan?"
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu and the others also ran up.
"Empress!"
"My queen, be careful!"
They still wanted to protect her, but they saw Nan Yan raised her head and walked towards the blazing sea of fire again.
"Empress!"
They were stunned and hurriedly grabbed her, but Nan Yan ignored them completely. The flames completely burned out the despair and madness in her heart. She gritted her teeth, looked at everyone with red eyes, and shouted hoarsely, "Everyone, put out the fire!"
Everyone was startled by her.
The imperial concubine's face was as pale as paper, her eyes glowing red from the flames, a red light on the verge of madness. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "All of you, put out the fire!"
At this time, someone came forward and whispered, "But it has collapsed..."
Nan Yan suddenly turned around and slapped the man hard in the face.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming with ferocity, like a bloodthirsty wolf.
He said fiercely, "I will kill anyone who dares to say anything more!"
“…”
In an instant, everyone's heart trembled.
Although the imperial concubine did not have the power to command these people, let alone the power to kill people, at this time, the emperor was trapped in a raging sea of fire, his life or death was uncertain, and the queen had lost consciousness, and everyone began to panic from the bottom of their hearts.
The imperial concubine suddenly appeared, gave orders, and became the only backbone of everyone in the panic.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said loudly, "Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, destined by heaven. Such a small accident cannot harm Your Majesty in the slightest. Now, put out the fire for me immediately and bring Your Majesty out!"
“…”
“Hurry up!”
As soon as they heard her almost hysterical cry, everyone suddenly woke up and started to take action immediately.
The top of the tower collapsed, and although it caused the heat wave and flames to scatter, it did put out some of the flames below. At this time, the fire gradually subsided, and everyone immediately took water from the surrounding water tanks. Some people even directly cut down branches from the trees and rushed forward to start putting out the flames.
As the cold water was poured onto the hot bricks and tiles, a sizzling sound was made.
The black smoke billowed like a black dragon, rising straight into the sky.
Everyone participated in the fire-fighting operation, while Nan Yan stood still, watching the intertwining figures in front of him, as if in a chaotic primitive world.
Her hands and feet were icy cold, and the blood in her body almost turned into ice at this moment.
She is like an ice sculpture.
The flames gradually died down, and ruins piled with rubble appeared before our eyes.
She clenched her hands tightly until her nails dug into her palms, but she felt no pain at all. Instead, she felt a growing sense of uneasiness and confusion in her heart.
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu also ran to her side.
She was still holding Princess Xinping in her arms. At this time, Xinping was no longer crying, but tears were hanging on her face. She opened her frightened eyes and looked at the chaos in front of her.
The fire has been largely put out.
However, the sound coming from the front made Nan Yan's heart fall into an ice cave.
“No one!”
"Where is the emperor? Why can't he be found?"
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that—"
Hearing these people's desperate whispers, Nan Yan's heart almost stopped.
She opened her eyes wide, staring blankly ahead, muttering, "No, the Emperor won't—"
At this time, she could no longer hold on and fell face up and fainted.
And just when she fell into coma and her mind was in darkness, she heard a voice suddenly coming from behind her.
"Get out of the way!"
