Chapter 640: Chapter 637: The Military’s Heart is Dispersed_1

The patrol camp’s blade... was already at Bi Heng’s neck, preventing him from standing up again.

With Fan Yuhuai and the patrol camp in front, and King Xian and the Nandu army behind, they had no way out. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

Bi Heng closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, and raised his head. Rain flowed down his eyelashes. Their numbers... had dwindled significantly. Even the imperial guards, seeing the hopeless situation, had laid down their arms and surrendered.

Fan Yuhuai walked up to Bi Heng, gazed deeply at Bi Heng, and the lifeless King Xin, and shouted loudly, "The Emperor has awakened! King Xin is dead! Surrender, and you will not be killed!"

Heaven and earth seemed to fall silent for a brief moment.

Master Tan rushed out of the palace: "Lord Fan! Be careful of King Xian and King Liang!"

Fan Yuhuai turned his head and looked at Master Tan on the upper part of the hall.

King Xian tightened his grip on his sharp blade, hooked the corners of his lips in the heavy rain, lifted his gaze, displaying a confident look, and shouted loudly, "King Xin conspired against the Emperor and the Crown Prince. We were late in protecting the heavens but will kill every rebel to avenge the Emperor and the Crown Prince!"

As soon as King Xian finished speaking, the blood-stained cold blade slashed straight at Fan Yuhuai.

"Be careful, my lord!" A soldier from the patrol camp, with eyes wide open, grabbed the unsuspecting Fan Yuhuai and pulled him back forcefully.

Fan Yuhuai turned back, eyes wide in disbelief, watching the cold blade that was meant to take his head swipe past his eyes. His left eye was instantly covered in crimson. A sharp pain spread from his left eye to half of his face.

Fan Yuhuai covered his eye with one hand and screamed in agony. The clanging of swords and the shouting of battle echoed again in the Imperial Palace.

The Nandu army led by King Xian fought fiercely with Fan Yuhuai’s patrol camp and the imperial guards.

Dragged to the rear by his subordinates, Fan Yuhuai, covering his blood-smeared eye with one hand, pushed his subordinates away with the other hand and gripped his sword. He shouted, "King Xian and King Liang are rebelling! Protect the Emperor!"

Inside the brightly lit, candle-flickering hall, the awakened Emperor’s eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger. He struggled to lift his hand and point outside the hall, breathing heavily. His chest emitted a suffocating wheezing sound, but he was unable to utter a single word.

How could he believe that King Xin, his beloved son, had intended to murder his father and brother to seize the throne?

How could he believe that King Xian, who lost his ability to have descendants for his sake, would rebel?

Yes... yes! Because King Xian’s only daughter was carrying the bloodline of the Imperial Family, he also had ambitions for their Lin family’s throne!

The Emperor’s face turned purple with rage. His sunken cheeks and eye sockets looked somewhat terrifying in the flickering candlelight.

"Father! Father!" The Crown Prince, kneeling at the Emperor’s side, wept continuously. "Father, you must take care of yourself!"

The Eldest Princess glanced outside through the carved flower partition, then leaned on her cane and walked towards the inner chamber. Gao Demao quickly ordered the trembling eunuch to lift the curtains on both sides and hang them on the gold-plated copper hooks, then pulled open the bright yellow gauze curtains.

Seeing the Eldest Princess enter with her cane, the Emperor’s pupils trembled. He wanted to speak, but started coughing while clutching his heart, staring straight at the Eldest Princess.

The Crown Prince hurriedly took the spittoon handed over by Gao Demao and kneeled closer to the Emperor, "Father!"

The Emperor waved his hand, propped himself up on the bed with his elbow, and slowly leaned back against the cushions. His rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty!" The Eldest Princess nodded slightly to the Emperor.

The Emperor calmed down and sincerely thanked the Eldest Princess, "Aunt... thank you for watching over me these past days!"
