She smiled at Li Zhu, feeling content and happy at that moment…
Li Zhu understood Consort Ming's words, but he had no time to think about them; he had only one thought in his mind.
"My woman is dead..."
He couldn't believe that the woman who had been nestled in his arms not long ago was now a corpse...
"A crazy woman, what a crazy woman..."
The second prince roared madly. He couldn't believe that Consort Ming would choose suicide to avoid becoming a bargaining chip for him to control Li Zhu. He himself couldn't do that, so he couldn't understand why others would do it...
"ah…"
Li Zhu's veins bulged all over his body, his mind filled with rage and murderous intent. He wanted to kill everyone here so that they could be buried with Consort Ming. If it weren't for these people, how could Consort Ming have died?
In a short time, he lost two of the most important people in his life, and his mind was filled with pain and grief…
The dark power within him seemed to sense his emotions, and its circulation accelerated dramatically…
The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, which had been lying quietly on the ground, suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, as if drawn by some unseen force…
Upon witnessing this scene, the Second Prince felt fear for the first time. He immediately shouted an order to Changsun Lang.
"Kill him! Quickly, kill him for me! I'll give you anything you want..."
"I've already killed one person for you, I won't kill a second one for you..."
Changsun Lang refused to intervene, clearly indicating that their relationship was not the subordinate one that outsiders speculated. They had likely reached some kind of agreement, and Changsun Lang had just fulfilled that agreement during the attack…
"I ordered you to kill Li Zhu, but you killed a eunuch instead. That doesn't count..."
In his desperation, the Second Prince could only force Changsun Lang to continue attacking, because only if the other party intervened could he survive…
"Regardless of who I killed, the person is already dead. That's enough for me to have done my job. I won't do it again. To make amends, I can reluctantly agree to take you away..."
Changsun Lang made some concessions; although he would no longer attack, he was allowed to take the Second Prince away, preventing him from being killed by Li Zhu…
"Kill Li Zhu. My order is to kill Li Zhu..."
The second prince persisted in his original purpose...
"Fine, if you're not leaving, then so be it, but I'm leaving..."
As he spoke, Changsun Lang planned to abandon the Second Prince and leave...
Seeing Li Zhu's condition, the Second Prince dared not confront him head-on. Although he had five thousand Imperial Guards, he was now face-to-face with Li Zhu, and the soldiers wouldn't have time to rescue him. So he hurriedly said anxiously...
"Take me with you, I'll leave with you..."
"No one is leaving today, because you all deserve to die..."
Li Zhu roared furiously, his eyes devoid of reason, filled only with a thirst for slaughter, which made the Second Prince even more terrified…
Whoosh!
The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow seemed to have been summoned, flying directly into Li Zhu's hand...
The moment the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow fell into his hands, he immediately swung his sword at Changsun Lang…
Faced with Li Zhu's strike, Changsun Lang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately held his longsword horizontally in front of his chest to block...
However, he was still thrown back several meters by the force of the blade's energy. As soon as he stopped, Changsun Lang turned around, grabbed the Second Prince, and soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant...
"ah…"
Li Zhu roared again, then spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he had just used his internal strength, it had damaged his meridians and caused serious internal injuries...
"General Wang Yanzhang is here! The Second Prince has committed treason! If you do not wish for the extermination of your entire clan, lay down your weapons and surrender..."
Just then, the still-rational Wang Yanzhang stepped forward and shouted, instantly stopping the fighting in the Eastern Palace. The soldiers then realized they had been abandoned by the Second Prince, and stood there bewildered, unsure of what to do…
The fighting has stopped, but some people are already dead and will never come back to life. Even if the fighting has been stopped, what is the point?
Wang Yanzhang watched the raging fire in the palace with sorrow. No one could survive such a fire, not even his daughter. Seeing the Crown Prince's distraught and dejected state, he knew he couldn't grieve yet, because the crisis was not over...
crackling sounds...
Under the oppressive aura of Wang Yanzhang, the Imperial Guards dropped their weapons. Once the first person threw down their weapon, a second followed...
This immediately triggered a chain reaction, and the battle at the Eastern Palace subsided at that moment…
"Everyone, put out the fire..."
Upon hearing Wang Yanzhang's order, the soldiers who had laid down their weapons and the surviving guards began to fight the fire together. The enemies who had just been fighting to the death put aside their hatred and joined forces to put out the fire!
Looking at Consort Ming and Eunuch Wei on the ground, Li Zhu felt as if his soul had been ripped out...
He knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. For a moment, he wished he could turn back time; he just wanted to be an ordinary worker, because that way he could live a peaceful and tranquil life…
Perhaps he'll also have a wife who isn't particularly beautiful, who will give him a litter of little Li Zhu babies, where there will be hugs and laughter, sadness and tears...
Li Zhu tried to scream, but he found that he couldn't make a sound at all...
Click...
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, as if sensing Li Zhu's sorrow, and even the heavens seemed to shed tears...
He walked with heavy steps toward Consort Ming, her once beautiful face now devoid of all color…
Bang!
Li Zhu knelt heavily on the ground, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if he were gathering strength!
Finally, having mustered enough strength, he laboriously raised his hand and slowly reached out towards Consort Ming…
He tried hard to open his mouth to speak, but each time it seemed as if an inexplicable force was choking him, preventing him from making any sound...
Wang Yanzhang stood quietly behind him, suppressing his emotions as he watched the fire slowly die down. He, too, wanted to weep bitterly…
Li Zhu turned around and slowly moved himself to Wei Gonggong's side on his knees, releasing his pent-up emotions at that moment...
The death of Eunuch Wei allowed Li Zhu to bid farewell to his past, and the death of Consort Ming allowed him to say goodbye to his own stain. But he would rather bear everything than see the deaths of both of them...
"ah…"
Li Zhu roared to the sky. He wanted to ask God, if He had let him travel through time, why was He treating him like this?
He embraced the two women together, holding Consort Ming on his left and Eunuch Wei on his right. Tears streamed down his face as he tried to feel their warmth, hoping they were still alive…
But all of this was just wishful thinking on his part. He had lost Consort Ming and Eunuch Wei. What else could he not lose?
