Chapter 1149 Who Dares to Harm My Nian Nian
Deep in the enclosure in late autumn, the trees are sparse.
The emperor stood on a high slope while riding his horse, his dark dragon-shaped riding suit rustling in the wind.
He had just shot a majestic elk with his own hands, and the arrow had accurately pierced the prey's neck, drawing sincere admiration from the clan relatives and ministers who were accompanying him.
"Your Majesty's perfect shot!"
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
"This kind of archery is truly unrivaled in the world!"
"..."
The emperor's face showed the joy after hunting, and his brows were filled with pure vigor and vitality.
He casually threw the strong bow to the guard, glanced at the rich pile of prey below, and was about to start rewarding them.
Just then, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the forest.
A fast horse rushed up the hill like an arrow shot from a bow, regardless of everything.
The man on the horse had a face covered in dust and panic. He was a member of the imperial guards who stayed behind to guard the camp.
He almost rolled off his horse, and fell in front of the emperor's horse, his voice hoarse and broken due to extreme fear and running wildly: "Your Majesty! It's bad! Something...something big has happened!"
"Empress Chen...Empress... "
The following words were choked by great fear.
The imperial guard was shaking violently all over and was unable to speak for a while.
There was an instant of deathly silence on the high slope.
The air, which was filled with the joy of hunting just now, suddenly froze.
The smiles on the faces of all the clan members and ministers froze, and they all looked at the imperial guard who was lying on the ground, trembling as he reported the news with doubt and surprise.
The happy smile on Nangong Xuanyu's face seemed to be frozen by ice and disappeared without a trace in an instant: "What did you say?!"
The emperor's voice suddenly rose, carrying with it thunderous rage and a barely perceptible tremor, like the growl of a wounded beast, instantly drowning out the sound of the wind in the forest.
"Tell me clearly, what happened to Concubine Chen?!"
The imperial guard was so frightened by the emperor's might that he kowtowed violently, his forehead hitting the cold ground heavily, making a dull sound: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen is in the tent... She has been poisoned!"
"When Imperial Physician Tang arrived... Imperial Concubine Chen had already passed away!"
boom--! ! !
This news was like thunder from the sky, exploding above everyone’s heads!
Everyone knows how much His Majesty dotes on Concubine Chen!
At this moment, everyone subconsciously looked at the emperor.
Nangong Xuanyu's tall body shook violently on the black jade Qilin horse.
The blood instantly drained away from this extremely handsome face, leaving only a horrifying paleness.
In his deep eyes, the sharp light from hunting just now was completely extinguished, replaced by huge shock, disbelief, and a tearing pain!
The emperor stared at the imperial guard who was reporting the news on the ground, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
The air around me seemed to freeze...
The clan members and ministers all looked pale and silent, not daring to even breathe.
Zhan Weiran's face turned ashen, his hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings like a hawk, alert to any possible unusual movements.
After a brief and suffocating silence...
"puff--!!!"
The emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the bright red blood foam splashed on the front of his black riding clothes and the mane of his black jade unicorn horse, which was shocking!
His body shook violently, as if he was hit hard by an invisible hammer, and he fell directly off the horse's back!
"His Majesty--!!!"
Zhan Weiran and the royal family members who were closest to him cried out in horror and rushed forward to help.
Nangong Xuanyu was barely supported by Zhan Weiran and two clan members, preventing him from falling to the ground in disgrace.
His chest heaved violently, and there was still a glaring trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Those eyes that always looked down upon the world and controlled everything, now only had a huge void, confusion, and a kind of crushed fragility...
Nangong Xuanyu seemed to have lost all his energy in an instant, and even his ability to stand seemed shaky.
“Nian… Nian…”
The emperor murmured absentmindedly, his voice broken, with a grief and disbelief that penetrated deep into his bones: "No... Impossible!"
"She was fine when I left this morning!"
Before he could finish his words, Nangong Xuanyu had another violent coughing fit, and more blood foam gushed out, staining the corners of his lips red.
The emperor's tall body, supported by Zhan Weiran's arms, still trembled uncontrollably, like a dead leaf in the autumn wind.
Zhan Weiran looked at the emperor who was distraught and confused, and a barely perceptible complexity flashed in his eyes.
He gave the order in a deep voice: "Bring some water for your Majesty to wash his face."
Immediately, a guard ran to fetch the water bag.
Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand suddenly, knocking the water bag to the ground, and the clear water splashed on the withered grass leaves.
He raised his head like a trapped beast, his eyes emitting a terrifying red light. With a rage and despair that bordered on madness, he roared hoarsely, "Return to the camp! Return to the camp immediately!"
"I want to see... who dares... who dares to harm my Nian Nian!!!"
As he said this, Nangong Xuanyu pushed away Zhan Weiran who was supporting him and staggered to grab the reins of the horse beside him.
His movements were hasty and chaotic. Where was his usual calm and majestic demeanor?
This is exactly like a man who suddenly lost his beloved, lost all his reason, and just wanted to rush to his lover immediately.
"Your Majesty, calm down! Take care of your health!"
The clan members and ministers knelt down in panic and tried to dissuade him, and the scene was in chaos.
At the edge of the chaotic crowd, a few seemingly ordinary guards quickly exchanged glances.
There was fear and disbelief in those eyes.
But more of it is ecstasy!
One of them quietly disappeared into the shadows of the forest, as quickly as a ghost.
The emperor's heart-wrenching and chaotic state had been transmitted through their eyes to the hunters who were sharpening their knives in the distance.
Zhan Weiran held on forcefully, still struggling to mount the horse. The mad emperor shouted at the surrounding imperial guards: "What are you still standing there for? Protect the emperor!"
"Break up camp immediately and return to the camp at full speed!"
A thunderous response rang out: "As you command!"
The Black Armored Imperial Guards gathered quickly like a black angry tide, guarding the emperor who was so heartbroken that he could barely sit on his horse. They turned around and galloped towards the camp.
The team no longer had the composure they had when they came, and was now in a state of panic and chaos.
The horse's hooves crushed the dry grass, raising a cloud of dust.
The emperor's staggering figure was more awkward and anxious than ever before...
……
Just as the camp was in great chaos and grief due to the sudden death of Concubine Chen.
In the tent of Duke Dingguo.
He was dressed in a dark suit with a half-length chain mail on the outside. His graying temples looked like a blade stained with frost and snow against the backdrop of his murderous aura.
