The arrow struck Wen Yi squarely, causing him to lose his balance and fall straight down. Si Bei Tao Hua was startled and leaped after him to save Wen Yi.
“Pursue them, and kill them without mercy.”
Helian Nie lowered his bow and arrow, his narrow, almond-shaped eyes fixed on the direction the two had fled.
His handsome face was shrouded in gloom, and his sinister voice carried a strong aura of violence, sending chills down one's spine.
Changying knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, and then led a group of men to chase after Si Beitao and Wen Yi, disappearing into the thick night in an instant.
After Changying left, Imperial Guards poured out from all over the palace and surrounded Si Beitao and the people of Wenyi.
Helian Nie glanced at it only once before withdrawing his gaze, turning around and stepping down from the high platform.
Wenren Yu, waving a tattered fan he'd picked up from the ground, thought himself dashing as he followed Helian Nie down the high platform.
"Oh dear, how could that old scoundrel Wen Yi have escaped? What a pity."
He had been looking forward to seeing that old bastard Wen Yi struggle to his death for a long time, and now he was gone just like that. As for that brat Si Beitaohua, he had now made an enemy of him!
Seeing the Emperor getting further and further away, Wenren Yu hurriedly took a few more steps forward to catch up with Helian Nie.
Waving a fan, his handsome face, like that of a painter, was full of fawning smiles as he looked at Helian Nie with a sly grin.
Helian Nie felt a throbbing sensation between his brows. His already mild anger was beginning to falter, and he felt an urge to kick Wenren Yu away.
"Speak up if you have something to say."
What kind of behavior is it to dawdle and hesitate like that?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I just wanted to ask, did that arrow you just shot kill that old scoundrel from Wenyi?"
Wenren Yu quickened his pace as he waved his fan, his handsome face revealing undisguised anticipation in his beautiful, upturned phoenix eyes.
He looked absolutely utterly infuriating, and Helian Nie felt his brow throb even faster.
"Seventy percent."
He most likely won't die. Since Si Bei Tao Hua was willing to go against him to save Wen Yi, there's no way she would let Wen Yi die so easily.
"Seventy percent, seventy percent is good. Alas, it's just a pity that we can't see that old bastard Wenyi clinging to life."
Wenren Yu waved his fan and nodded as he spoke, his handsome face showing pure glee and schadenfreude.
"Your Majesty, shall I trouble you with this matter of confiscating the Wen family's property?"
Wenren Yu caught up with Helian Nie a few steps and flatteringly offered his services, saying that if he could lead people to raid the mansion of that old scoundrel Wenyi, the Prime Minister would feel extremely pleased.
"what ever."
Helian Nie coldly uttered these words from his thin lips, then took a large stride to create some distance between himself and Wenren Yu. This guy was talking a lot tonight, and was really quite noisy.
"Your Majesty, I thank you!"
Behind him was Wenren Yu's delighted voice, but Helian Nie didn't hear it.
His handsome face and peach blossom eyes were fixed on the person not far away, being held in Nan Rong Jinghua's arms.
At this moment, her rosy little face was scrunched up, and she was looking longingly at her little bundle of joy with her wet, teary eyes.
His steps faltered as he turned to return to the Crouching Dragon Palace. His brow furrowed; had he seen that bloody, mangled scene just now, you ugly thing?
With that ugly thing's cowardly courage, what about Nan Rong Jinghua's brain?
Helian Mou Si Si had no idea what Helian Nie was thinking. Now that she saw her own little one, her trembling heart finally calmed down.
The little one, with a wrinkle on her face, tears welling in her eyes, and a tingling in her nose...
Her little mouth twitched, and she stretched out her chubby little hands toward Helian Nie, her sweet, tearful voice breaking as she spoke.
"Father, hug me, Sisi, waaaah!"
