Heartless Phoenix Queen - C176
Zi Yuan stood on top of the city gate tower and saw that the current situation was not good for Helian Profound Wings. She wanted to rush down the city gate tower to help Helian Profound Wings, but was stopped by two soldiers!
“Do you dare to block my way?!” Violet Garden’s words contained anger. The two soldiers looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said in unison, “Empress, the emperor has ordered that the Empress must stay on the city wall!”
“What if I don’t?” The Violet Garden would definitely not sit idly by and watch Helian Xuan Yi get hurt!
The soldier bent over and continued, “Empress, then don’t blame us for being rude!”
Zi Yuan frowned and asked coldly, “Could it be that you all want to fight me?!”
The soldiers knelt down and whispered, “We servants do not dare. I just hope that the Empress will not make things difficult for the servants!”
Zi Yuan knew that these two soldiers would absolutely not let him leave the city to save Helian Xuan Yi! She let out a cold snort and once again stood at the edge of the city gate tower to observe the situation!
At this moment, even the left side of his Profound Wings’ chest and shoulder were injured. Zi Yuan’s heart clenched in pain. Right now, she wished that she could bleed on behalf of Helian Xuanji!
Lan Cang was just shot and surrounded by several soldiers from the Western Kingdom. Attack him together!” It was difficult for a hero to fight against four people, he was alone, how could he be a match for five people, not to mention the fact that he was injured!
Helian Profound Wings’ situation was also very bad. When he fought against the two army’s commander-in-chiefs alone, Helian Profound Wing’s pitch-black eyes had already turned blood-red from his killing intent! Lan Cang had gotten rid of five Western Li soldiers and rushed over to fight against the enemy together with Helian Xuan Wing!
“I didn’t expect you to actually be a real man. You actually managed to escape from five people even after receiving a gunshot wound from me!” Feng Lingxue saw that Lan Cang’s armor was dyed red with blood, and admired him a lot!
“I don’t need an enemy to say anything to me that I admire!” Even if the enemy had killed him under the sword, he would not betray the country of Northern Yue!
Feng Lingxue liked this type of challenger the most. He raised his spear horizontally, “Your opponent is now me!”
Blue Azure was holding a sword and standing together with Feng Lingxue. Feng Lingxue was riding a horse with a spear in hand as she brushed past Lan Cang’s shoulder. Her speed was so fast that it was impossible to blink! Lan Cang leaned to the left, dodging the attack!
Feng Lingxue’s spear did not aim to injure Lan Cang, as his goal was — — Helian Profound Wings!
He went around to the back of Helian Xuanyin and stabbed Helian Xuanyin in the back with his spear. Zi Yuan saw the spear piercing Helian Xuanyin’s back and covered her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes …
What he saw was not the complacent smile on the corner of Feng Lingxue’s mouth, but the tears that had flowed down Zi Yuan’s face while standing on the city gate tower!
He did not want her to shed tears for him, and he also did not want her to be the only one left in this world who was grieving and grieving!
A powerful flame surged in his chest as he turned around and stabbed Feng Lingxue’s shoulder. In that instant, the smile that was originally hanging on the corner of Feng Lingxue’s mouth appeared on Helian Profound Wing’s face!
Feng Lingxue looked at the sword in Helian Xuanyin’s hand piercing onto his shoulder, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. He did not believe that a person who had been severely injured by him would actually have the ability to retaliate!?
When Murong Xiu saw that Feng Lingxue had been injured, he quickly retreated the Northern Yue soldiers that had surrounded him and rushed towards him. “How are your injuries?”
Blood kept flowing out from Feng Lingxue’s shoulder, and her lips gradually became a little pale. He tried his best to force out a smile, “It’s okay, I won’t die!”
Murong Xiu tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and threw it to Feng Lingxue, “Bandage it yourself!”
Feng Lingxue simply had no way to bandage the wound, and could only stick a piece of cloth into the wound! Murong Xiu held his long spear horizontally across Lan Cang’s throat. “Helian Xuan’s injuries are not light. Do you want to surrender?”
Hearing the two words’ surrender ‘, a smile appeared on Lan Cang’s face. “You’d better go back and see who won this battle.”
Murong Xiu turned around to take a look. Lan Cang was right. Although the injuries sustained by his and Feng Lingxue weren’t light, the soldiers of the West Li and the East Ping Kingdom had suffered a great number of casualties! It could be said that what was injured was twice as much as what was injured in the State of Northern Yue!
Even though he was severely injured, he could not show it on his face. This was because Zi Yuan was watching over him from the top of the city gate tower and he did not want her to worry and cry for him!
But, what Helian Xuanyin did not know was that the Violet Garden had seen all of the injuries on his body, and she knew it even more clearly than he did!
“These words should be asked by me. Do you want to surrender?” Helian Xuan’s hands covered his chest, pressing down on his throat so hard that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Feng Lingxue was also injured. If this continued, both armies would suffer. Murong Xiu looked at the situation and said in a deep voice, “How about we just drop this matter and call it a draw?” Even though you, the northern barbarians, have injured quite a few of our soldiers, you still suffered such heavy injuries to your Profound Wings! “You are the Emperor of the Northern Yue. If you die, do you think they will continue to fight?” There was another reason why Murong Xiu didn’t kill Helian Profound Wings was because of Zi Yuan!
He didn’t want to kill Helian Xuanyin in front of the Violet Garden. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill her, it was when he lost to her in the future!
Even Xuan Yi felt that Murong Xiu’s words made sense. The two armies had indeed suffered a lot of injuries today. If they continued to fight, there would only be more casualties!
“Good!” The Western Kingdom’s Regent is indeed magnanimous. However, the battle between you and the North Vietnamese will not be over! ” Helian Xuan Yi used his last bit of strength to turn around and get on the horse. Lan Cang also got on the horse.
When the Profound Wings of Helian had its back to the city gate, a mouthful of blood sprayed out from its mouth, sprinkling onto the war flag of the Western Paradise! Zi Yuan stood on top of the city gate tower and saw Helian Xuan Yi spitting out blood. No one could stop her. She staggered down the city gate and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate for her!
The soldier guarding the gates found it difficult to speak. “Empress, the emperor has an order …” Before the soldier could finish his words, he was stopped by Zi Yuan.
Zi Yuan drew his sword from her waist and placed it against her neck. “You’d better let me out, or else I’ll immediately die in front of you!”
The soldier paled and didn’t dare to block Zi Yuan’s way anymore. He opened the gates to let him out, and Zi Yuan ran out, disregarding the fact that he still had children in his stomach.
When the horse arrived in front of Zi Yuan, Helian Xuan Yi almost fell off his horse. Zi Yuan took a few steps forward, and Helian Xuan Yi coincidentally fell into her arms …
Zi Yuan held onto Helian Xuanji’s wings. When his hand came into contact with Helian Xuan’s chest, it was blood-red, and even her hand was stained with his blood! Zi Yuan turned around and looked at Murong Xiu’s departing back. A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. Next time, she would let Murong Xiu have a taste of what it was like!
He dragged his feet and walked over, “Empress, let me carry Your Majesty back.”
Zi Yuan nodded, and together with Lan Cang, they supported Helian Profound Wings back to the palace!
In Helian Xuanyin’s bedroom, a few imperial physicians had gathered around Helian Xuanyin to diagnose and treat his illness. Zi Yuan didn’t even take a step away from the bed as she anxiously asked, “Imperial Physician, how is the emperor’s injury? Is there really any life threatening danger? ”
Imperial Physician Zhong, who was treating Xuan Yi, wrinkled his brows. His expression was gloomy and unsightly. When the Violet Garden saw that he didn’t say anything, they felt that the situation wasn’t looking good!
“Imperial Physician, tell this palace the truth. Just what kind of injury did the emperor have?” The Violet Garden wanted to hear the result. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, she had to know the result!
Imperial Physician Zhong stroked his beard and bowed as he replied, “To reply esteemed Empress, the emperor’s injuries aren’t serious this time. These wounds aren’t fatal, but the emperor might faint from excessive loss of blood.”
“Then how long before the emperor wakes up?” Zi Yuan asked anxiously.
Imperial Physician Zhong estimated that it was about time. “He should wake up tomorrow morning.”
Tomorrow? The Violet Garden thought for a while. There was a night that passed between them, so it was hard to say if Murong Xiu and Feng Lingxue would take the opportunity to attack the city. Imperial Physician Zhong called out to her a few times, but she didn’t reply. She seemed to be thinking about something important. “Empress Dowager, what’s wrong?”
The Violet Garden regained her senses and glanced at Imperial Physician Zhong. “What did you say just now?”
“This old subject will draw up a prescription for the emperor right now. As long as the emperor drinks the medicine, he should wake up. However, for the wounds on the emperor’s body, someone has to clean the emperor’s wounds at night and change them into gauze. ”
“Leave these to me, you don’t have to worry.” Purple Garden glanced back at Helian Xuanyin who was lying on the bed. He felt his heart ache faintly. It was to protect this country, to protect himself and the child in his womb that he suffered such heavy injuries.
Zi Yuan instructed the imperial physician to make a prescription for the medicine, leaving Lan Cang and himself here!
When there was only Blue Sky and Zi Yuan left in Helian Profound Wings’ palace, Zi Yuan sat on the bed and looked at Lan Cang. He asked softly, “Lan Cang, have you seen clearly how many soldiers Xi Li and Dong Ping have sent this time on the battlefield?”
“To reply the Empress, the number of enemies on the battlefield should not be all of the Western Diaspora and East Peak armies.” Lan Cang, who had already finished bandaging his wounds, replied solemnly to Zi Yuan.
Zi Yuan lowered his eyes in thought. Indeed, it was as he had seen on the city gate tower. The number of troops sent by the northern troop wasn’t too many. It was quite incredible that they were able to defeat the combined forces of the Western Parting and the Eastern Plains. There was only one explanation, and that was that their army forces on the battlefield today were not real!
“You think the same as me! But how do we repel the enemy? ” Zi Yuan’s words seemed to be asking Lan Cang, but it also seemed to be asking himself.
For a moment, Lan Cang couldn’t think of any good methods. When the Violet Garden saw that he was injured, she asked him to go back and rest first. She would leave the rest to him.
After Lan Cang left, the only people left in the chamber were Violet Garden and the Helian Profound Wings, who was lying on the bed. Zi Yuan walked to the bedside and heard the steady breathing of Helian Xuan Yi. Her heart began to tremble as well! She was very afraid that she would lose him on the battlefield today. Who could understand the feeling of recovering her lost life?
“If you had died on the battlefield today, I would have jumped down from this tower and gone with you to the underworld.” She was used to hearing his love words, so she didn’t know what to say to him. Perhaps it was due to her deep feelings for him, but she couldn’t think of any words to express it.
Violet Garden was also extremely tired today. She changed out of the thick and heavy armor on her body and only lay down on her side next to Helian Xuan Yi. She quietly listened to his breathing and slowly fell into a deep slumber.
When she woke up, it was already night. The palace maid told her that the imperial physician had already prepared the medicine and brought it over for her to feed to Helian Xuanyin.
Zi Yuan nodded and asked the palace maid to bring the medicine over. She was going to feed the Profound Wings of Helian. She took the medicine bowl and sat beside his bed. He didn’t know if she was unconscious or asleep, but she didn’t have the heart to wake him up and take the medicine. She decided to take the medicine and feed it to him one mouthful at a time.
Zi Yuan was helped up by the palace maid to sit up by Helian Xuanyin. She used a spoon to drink a mouthful of medicine. The taste of this medicine was extremely bitter! Her brows tightly knitted together from the pain. She bent over and pressed the medicine slowly into his mouth, pressing it close to Helian Xuanyin’s lips. Her lips were soft and fragrant, bringing along a strong medicinal fragrance as she drank the medicine.
The Violet Garden fed him medicine after medicine, and he drank as much of this medicine as she tasted! When she finished the medicine, she set the bowl aside and the palace maid brought a bowl of water and some candied fruits to Violet Garden.
