Lu Zangfeng, Han Dingbian, and others gradually began to lose ground and retreated continuously, but there was no way to retreat in the imperial palace.
They never intended to give the emperor a way out, so they have no way out at the moment.
The Empress Dowager is dead? Yun Chi was fighting Yun Zhuo when he suddenly heard this news, and his heart trembled violently.
He turned his head to look in the direction of Empress Shen, but Yun Zhuo's longsword swept over, so he had no choice but to turn back to face the enemy.
As a result, his horse was injured by Yun Zhuo and fell heavily to the ground, and Yun Chi was also forced to roll off the horse.
The palace lanterns were still burning, their flames still shooting into the sky, illuminating the entire palace brightly, but within this brightness, it seemed as if a layer of blood mist shrouded it.
Chen Hui pulled Yun Chi up from the ground.
Yun Chi wiped the blood from his eyes before he could finally see the situation clearly.
Their people were originally densely packed, like an impenetrable fortress, but now many have fallen.
Although there were still quite a few people surrounding him, they were scattered and no longer had the same unity and confidence they had shown before.
All that remained was bewilderment and helplessness.
They never expected that their long-planned scheme would end up like this. They were very confident that they could change the master and surname of the Great Zhou royal family tonight.
It was precisely because they were so confident and never considered failure that they were so bewildered and helpless when failure came.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Yunchi seemed to hear a mournful sound. Was it a mournful sound carried by the night wind?
He still couldn't believe it and asked, "Chen Hui, is Mother really dead?"
Chen Hui pursed his lips but did not answer.
He said, "Your Highness, I swear to protect you and help you escape! As long as we're alive, we can always fight again!"
Chen Hui hadn't said that before. Yun Chi thought to himself, Chen Hui had previously said that as long as they rushed in and captured the emperor, the Great Zhou dynasty would be within their grasp.
But now, Chen Hui's words have completely changed.
So, the Empress Dowager really did die; she was truly killed by that fat man, Yun Xun.
Having fought his way through the battles, Yun Chi had accumulated injuries both inside and outside his body. Now, this news had further aggravated him, making him feel as if his internal organs were about to shatter. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Before tonight, he could not accept that Empress Shen was not his biological mother, but after deciding to get rid of Ye Qingxue, he realized that he only had Empress Shen as his family.
Whether she is good or bad; whether she is the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty or a pawn sent by the Heavenly Eagle Holy Kingdom.
In this foreign land, they only have each other.
But now that Empress Shen is dead, he suddenly felt a desolate sense of "no one behind him".
"Chen Hui, where are we going to escape to?" After an unknown amount of time, Yun Chi finally asked.
Chen Hui said, "Let's escape first. The world is vast; there's bound to be a place for us. Your Highness, I swear to protect you with my life."
The night wind rustled through the treetops, as if it were sobbing.
Yun Chi's gaze fell on Yun Zhuo, then slid from Yun Zhuo to behind him.
Yun Chi saw Ye Qingxue slowly stand up, supporting herself on the ground.
Meeting her gaze, Yun Chi slowly smiled: "There is only one Ye Qingxue in the world, there will never be another. I am not a deposed crown prince, I cannot escape. Even if I escape, I can only live a little longer, it is meaningless."
He paused, then said, "Chen Hui, tonight, we only have two paths: life or death. There is no third path."
Chen Hui looked at his profile and saw his resolute expression. He said, "Since Your Highness has made up your mind, I will follow you to the death. There is still a chance. We are only a step away from the Zichen Palace. We just need to take down the Emperor."
They charged forward again.
The wind rose and the clouds surged, the branches swayed wildly as if ten thousand ghosts had descended upon the world, the light was blown about and swayed, and fallen leaves swept in, repeatedly obscuring people's vision.
Ye Qingxue saw Yun Chi attacking Yun Zhuo, and she suddenly remembered her final battle with Shen Jiefeng in the Bamboo Sea Stream.
Oh no, Yun Chi is using a suicidal tactic; he's going to take Yun Zhuo down with him even in his dying moments.
Ye Qingxue was already unsteady on her feet, her legs were staggering, but at that moment she didn't know where the strength came from, and she swung the long whip in her hand at Yun Chi.
