The Empress has passed away!
These four short words struck Chen Longxiang like a bolt from the blue.
The next moment, Chen Longxiang rushed into Su Wan'er's palace without regard for anything else, and immediately saw Su Wan'er lying on the phoenix bed, her face pale and motionless.
Inside the room, the midwife who delivered the baby, the imperial physician who came to treat the patient, and the palace maids and eunuchs who stayed behind all knelt down on the spot, bowing their heads and sobbing softly.
Chen Longxiang walked slowly and heavily towards Su Wan'er, who had already stopped breathing, step by step. His hands trembled as he tried to pick her up several times, but the moment he touched Su Wan'er, his hands recoiled as if he had been electrocuted.
He tried several times, but all of them ended in failure.
"ah--"
Suddenly, unable to bear the psychological pressure any longer, Chen Longxiang couldn't help but roar, howling to the sky. His angry roar, like the cry of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, silenced everyone present, who instinctively knelt down and covered their ears.
After an unknown amount of time, the furious roars of Chen Longxiang, the regent of Daxin, finally subsided.
Some of the bolder palace maids and eunuchs mustered their courage and subconsciously raised their heads to try and catch a glimpse of the prince's reaction out of the corner of their eyes, only to find that the prince had somehow become disheveled.
His long hair had completely covered his face, and Empress Dowager Su Wan'er, who had died in childbirth on the phoenix bed, had also been covered with a blanket again.
"ah--"
Suddenly, a scream rang out, followed by the apologetic voices of the palace maids and eunuchs who had been stealing glances at Chen Longxiang: "Your Highness, please calm down!"
It turned out that the palace maids and eunuchs who had mustered up their courage to raise their heads suddenly met the eyes of Regent Chen Longxiang and were intimidated by the fierce light shooting from his pupils.
Chen Longxiang, with his hair disheveled, had combed back the long hair that covered his face, revealing a ferocious and terrifying expression.
"You all must die—"
Chen Longxiang spoke, his icy voice filled with chilling murderous intent, as if each word was being spat out from between his teeth.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please calm down!"
"Your Highness, spare me, Your Highness—"
"ah--"
In an instant, the palace of the Demon Queen Su Wan'er was filled with cries of pleas for mercy and screams of pain and despair.
Boom, boom, boom—
Immediately, palace maids, eunuchs, imperial physicians, and midwives flew out of the palace one after another, lying haphazardly on the floor of the courtyard outside, their necks tilted to the side, bleeding from their seven orifices, clearly not going to survive.
Completely irrational and bloodthirsty, Chen Longxiang staggered out of the palace, his hair disheveled. His fierce gaze fixed on the kneeling servants and guards outside, he spat out each word through clenched teeth once more: "You, too, must die—"
"Your Highness, Your Highness—"
However, the shouts of the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the courtyard were all in vain and failed to awaken the irrational regent Chen Longxiang, who continued to slaughter the palace maids and eunuchs.
"Your Highness, no!"
"Your Highness, it's me, Laifu! Your Highness, *pfft*"
"Your Highness, I am Wangcai, wang, pfft—"
In an instant, palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the Goguryeo royal palace scattered in all directions, each fleeing for their lives.
Chen Longxiang had long since transformed into a ruthless killing machine. He would catch up with one person, crush their throat with one hand, and then catch up with another, repeating the same action.
Wherever they went, there was only mourning and corpses strewn everywhere.
Chen Longxiang continued his rampage from the inner palace to the royal palace, killing anyone he encountered without mercy.
Later, without anyone noticing, he also acquired his pair of golden hammers and used them to strike the person he had caught up with.
Even Zhao Lingwu, the deposed emperor of the former dynasty who regarded him as his adoptive father, was no exception.
When the deposed emperor Zhao Lingwu cried and begged to find his mother, and as usual approached Chen Longxiang, who had already lost his mind and was bloodthirsty, seeking a hug, he was met with a merciless blow from Chen Longxiang's golden hammer.
This deposed emperor, who was spared a chance to live under the rule of Chen Huai'an, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ultimately followed the same path as the last emperors of all dynasties.
Perhaps this is his destiny!
Chen Longxiang's unbridled killing within the capital city immediately caused panic among the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids who remained in the Goguryeo capital city, and people scattered and fled for their lives everywhere.
This panic quickly spread throughout the Goguryeo capital, and the people rushed to the city gates to escape for their lives.
The guards stationed in the royal city and palace did consider using force to subdue Regent Chen Longxiang and stop his indiscriminate killings.
But it was all in vain.
Whether they fled or came forward to try and subdue Chen Longxiang, all living beings within the range of his pair of golden hammers, whether human or animal, became victims of his hammers.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the sky above the Goguryeo capital, which had been bright and sunny, was suddenly filled with muffled thunderclaps.
Immediately afterwards, thick, dark clouds were blown in from an unknown direction, gathered over the Goguryeo capital, and remained there.
The sky is getting darker and darker.
The clouds are getting thicker and thicker.
At the time of his birth, Chen Longxiang was prophesied by Dongfang Xiao, a black-robed monk from Fengming Mountain and Qixia Temple outside Longcheng, to be the reincarnation of the Golden-Winged Roc from the upper realm undergoing tribulation. He eventually fought his way to the gates of the Goguryeo capital.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the rumbling thunder in the sky grew louder and louder!
It seems to be proclaiming the fate of Chen Longxiang as predicted by the old monk!
