Chapter 404: Real Old Mother...
A sudden and shocking crisis was resolved at such a lightning speed.
No one could have imagined that the ones who would make the final move and decide the outcome would be this seemingly unrelated trio.
Qin Zhaoyue hid behind Chu Xinglan and cautiously poked his head out, his voice trembling with a hint of fear.
"Dead? Completely dead? Are you sure he won't suddenly pop back up?"
She didn't want to experience this kind of excitement again.
Jiang Wuya immediately put away the coldness he showed towards Yun Miaozi and strode towards her.
His face was filled with a smile of concern that was almost flattering, and his chest was thumping loudly.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister, he died completely, not even a trace of him remains.
Brother, I will personally take action and make sure he doesn’t even have a chance to be reborn.
Are you tired, Junior Sister? Are you scared? Why don't you sit down and rest?
Don't worry, with my brother here, you'll be absolutely safe."
Just now he was the majestic image of a peerless master, the absolute main force to kill Yun Miaozi, but what about now?
He turned his face and looked like he was licking wildly. His eyes, staring at Qin Zhaoyue, were shining brightly as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
Qin Zhaoyue looked at him with a pounding heart, feeling that this old man had no good intentions.
At this moment, Su Quan's shrill scream suddenly erupted in the imperial study, filled with endless panic and despair.
"Your Majesty! Please save Your Majesty!"
Qin Zhaoyue's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Was it true that the Queen Mother had fallen for it?
Old Xue, who had barely caught his breath, and Chu Xinglan reacted the fastest, rushing into the imperial study in a flash.
Qin Zhaoyue followed closely behind, and her newly recognized "senior brother" Jiang Wuya naturally followed closely behind.
Passing the gradually disappearing shadow of the mountain, when his eyes fell on the person lying on the ground, Qin Zhaoyue felt like he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
The Queen Mother no longer had any of her former elegance and majesty. She was lying there quietly.
His face was haggard, his skin was like the dehydrated bark of a thousand-year-old tree, covered with deep wrinkles, and his complexion was an extremely ominous purple-blue color.
A pale sword tip was pinned to her chest, and her clothes were soaked with dark blood.
[This... old mother... how did she become like this? ]
An indescribable bitterness surged into my heart, turning into a silent murmur.
Qin Minghuang, who was on his deathbed, heard these words very clearly.
He was clearly dying, his energy was running out, yet he somehow found the strength to lift his extremely heavy eyelids with difficulty.
His cloudy eyes turned with difficulty, and finally caught a glimpse of Xiaoliu standing not far away with a look of astonishment on his face.
Sure enough...it was this dead kid...
Even at this time, I'm still muttering in my heart...
Old mother... Oh, now she really is an old mother...
Xuanji Wei Panyue on the side was in a miserable state. He was already soaked in cold sweat, and his body was shaking uncontrollably due to excessive consumption of true energy.
Your Majesty's body is like a bottomless black hole at this moment.
The vast true energy of his dignified third-grade Divine Martial Realm was almost drained out in this short period of time, but he still couldn't stabilize the vitality that was rapidly fading like a floodgate.
"Hurry! I can't take it anymore!"
"I'll do it." Chu Xinglan squatted down immediately without any hesitation.
A palm emitting a soft white light gently pressed on the Qi Hai acupoint between the empress's chest and abdomen.
The extremely pure true energy was carefully delivered in like a trickle of water.
Not to mention that she got a person who was closely related to the fortune of the dynasty, and her cultivation method was originally the same as Da Gan. Just the fact that the "little sister" she just recognized was the Sixth Princess, His Majesty's biological daughter, she had to save her for both emotional and logical reasons.
Sensing the completely different but more powerful and pure true energy flowing in, Pan Yue quickly withdrew his hand for fear of causing a conflict.
As I pulled back the force, I suddenly felt a black screen in front of my eyes and saw stars.
A strong feeling of dizziness came over me, and I could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
However, his gaze remained fixed on His Majesty's face, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
Today is the greatest humiliation Xuanji Guard has ever experienced!
Not only did the enemy replace the provincial examination papers under strict surveillance, but now the assassin has harmed His Majesty right under his nose, putting him in this desperate situation of life and death.
As soon as Chu Xinglan took action, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
She also clearly felt that the vitality in His Majesty's body was as weak as a candle in the wind, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next moment.
The ferocity of the poison is so terrifying!
Not only that, she could only rely on her profound cultivation to barely suppress and lock it, slowing down the loss of vitality, but her own true energy was consumed at an extremely fast rate.
Chu Xinglan immediately opened his own "domain", and the bright white light enveloped the empress, barely maintaining a fragile balance.
At this time, Qin Minghuang seemed to be awakened by the input of true energy, and he actually opened his eyes completely.
She had never felt so weak. Every breath she took caused pain all over her body, and her throat was as dry as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.
Struggling, using all his strength, he gave the order in a weak but very clear voice.
"Call all the heirs of the throne... come immediately... all the commanders of the Xuanji Guard... Prime Minister Pei... General Meng... enter the palace immediately..."
"yes!"
Pan Yue gritted his teeth and stood up, then rushed out immediately and fired a specially made flare into the air without hesitation.
At the same time, he barely controlled the little remaining true energy, causing the mountain shadow to appear again above the palace. This was the highest level of assembly signal.
Su Quan had already burst into tears, but at this moment he stood up tremblingly and stumbled out of the imperial study.
He grabbed the arm of a Qingluan Guard general who was rushing towards him, and his voice was hoarse and broken.
"Quick! Go and summon Prime Minister Pei and General Meng to the palace immediately!
Use the fastest speed, even if you have to carry him, to bring him home!"
"yes!"
When the Qingluan Guard general saw this scene, he knew that the survival of the country was at stake, so he clasped his fists and accepted the order.
He turned around and ran away at the fastest speed, even climbing over the palace wall, increasing his speed to the extreme.
Su Quan immediately rushed back to the imperial study, brought the health-preserving tea that His Majesty usually drank from the imperial desk, and knelt down carefully beside His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, please drink some tea to moisten your throat."
He supported her head with trembling arms, brought the edge of the bowl to his lips, and fed the tea into her mouth very slowly, bit by bit.
The half-cold tea slid across the cracked lips and throat, as if the long-dry land was welcoming the rain.
Su Quan served Qin Minghuang very carefully, and Qin Minghuang had a hard time drinking.
Every time he swallowed, he was extremely slow, for fear of choking and losing his last breath.
It’s not possible now. She must hold on and make a final will to stabilize this huge dynasty.
Just hold on a little longer...it will be alright in a little while...
Soon, the closest royal heirs, under the protection of Ling Muxue, rushed into the imperial study at the fastest speed.
"Queen Mother!"
