Chapter 730: The Imperial Palace Breaks, the Emperor Falls (III)

“You… vicious woman…”

The emperor had just been thinking about how he was going to lose Huijun. He hadn’t expected this woman to send a dagger straight into his heart—literally.

With all his remaining strength, the emperor attempted to pull himself out of the situation. His eyes opened so wide that they were about to pop out. He very quickly ran out of breath.

Huijun sneered as her bloodied face revealed an unprecedented expression of joyful release.

Her voice shivered with madness as she said, “Damned Emperor, you know how much I hate you!”

The dagger she held in her right hand viciously plunged deeper into his heart as she spoke, twisting and turning the handle of the blade as she stirred into his flesh.

Fresh blood continued to pour out of the wound and color her hand bright red. Her elegant fingers turned the color of red agate.

“My hatred for you is carved deep into my bones! You destroyed my family and ruined my whole life! Damn Emperor, you sure met your end! You won’t die in peace! Open your eyes and watch. Your country will fall into Hell with you! Don’t forget who your killer is when you stand before the King of Hell!”

The emperor’s eyes glazed over, wide open. He truly didn’t die in peace. Huijun laughed softly in satisfaction as she watched him breathe his last breath.

Huijun pushed him down on the ground and forced the dagger deep into his heart with the weight of her whole body. She then moved to the side and ripped open the wound.

Huijun’s right hand followed the wound into his chest as she snickered. “Your highness, open up your eyes and look here. Your blood is red and your heart is also red… I thought your heart would have already turned black as dirt.”

Crash!

The sound of something falling shook Huijun. She immediately turned around.

Her beautiful eyes were no longer seductively charming, they were filled with malice. She looked almost as horrifying as a vicious demon that had crawled up from the underworld.

A young eunuch was staring at her in absolute horror. The pile of clothes that were meant for the emperor to use for his escape dropped to the ground at his feet

Huijun clicked her tongue and laughed. “You saw everything?”

The young eunuch fell to the floor of the royal chariot in dismay.

He stuttered for a while before he finally yelled in panic, “H-his royal highness has fallen!”

The nearby guards heard his high voice and suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. The spirits of the imperial guards fell dramatically as the enemy troops took the chance to charge in.

“The emperor has fallen!”

“The emperor has fallen!”

“The emperor has fallen…”

The young eunuch crawled out of the chariot as he cried for his life. He even tripped over the chariot as he ran out, almost getting himself a concussion.

He didn’t bother to cry about the pain, running away frantically as if a demon was chasing after him.

When the ministers heard of this news, they almost fell to the ground. Total disbelief was written all over their faces…

The enemies hadn’t made their way into the central battlefield, so how did the emperor fall?

How was that possible?

How did the emperor fall?

Because of this sudden news from the eunuch, the imperial guards were all in a panic. The enemy troops took the opportunity to break through the defenses of the weakened troops.

Amid the chaos, the enemy troops charged towards the emperor’s chariot, only to find a shocking scene as they lifted the chariot’s curtain upon arrival.

They were greeted by the body of a portly man in a royal robe on the ground, fresh blood leaking out from his chest like a piece of bloodied pork.

This was probably the emperor.

The general then pulled his attention away and turned his gaze toward the ethereal beauty beside the emperor.

With just one look, he felt his heart fall deep into the starry sea inside her eyes. He could almost hear flowers blooming in spring.

It was love at first sight.

Of course, while he had seen many beauties in his life, all the women in the world were suddenly boring and plain compared to this lady before him.

“I am the mother of this country. The general’s unrestricted gaze is an act of impudence!”

Huijun sat elegantly as she secretly clenched the dagger hidden in her sleeves. The blood on her skin had already been cleaned away.

She faced much humiliation in her life, but even this she thought was too dirty.

Now that she was facing the gate to hell, she wanted to go cleanly and elegantly.

The emptiness that came after her vengeance triggered a thought of suicide within her; it was too tiring to live. Just as she was thinking about ending her life, the enemy general had barged in, making her heart sink.

But thanks to this general, Huijun had regained her sanity and erased the thought of seeking death earlier.

The A-Cao from the past was dead. The Huijun that survived had lived for Langjun because that was the life he’d given her.

Unless Langjun allowed it, she had no right to end this life nor to take human lives lightly.

No matter how hard it would be, she had to live on.

“The mother of the country? So you’re the queen, what a coincidence.”

The young general’s eyes turned as he put on a slight smile, but deep down he felt pitiful.

An ethereal beauty like her should have been carefully protected by the world’s most outstanding man, how had she ended up as the partner of a man who looked like a fat pig?

Huijun stared at the man before her calmly. She smiled cordially, her expression and demeanor filled with amorous emotions.

“I am the mother of this country, does the general plan on treating me like a normal concubine?”

The man thought Huijun would cry out in panic or beg for her life like the concubines captured inside the Chenzhou royal capital had. He hadn’t expected Huijun to give this kind of reaction. She gave no sign of being a panicked, lowly prisoner.

Not only did she not show any signs of fear, but she also maintained her high position.

She was clearly being looked down upon by him, but her arrogance made it seem like she was the one looking down on all earthly beings, including the general himself.

He had a sudden urge to kneel before her and submit to her authority.

Yet this thought only flashed in his mind for a split second before he forced it down within him.

He laughed arrogantly. “You are the mother of this country, but also my war prize. Your treatment will naturally be different than a normal concubine’s.”

Huijun felt slightly relieved inside her heart. The dagger inside her sleeve had been returned to its sheath. Within moments, Huijun felt her waist tighten up as she fell into the man’s chest, the cold and stinky armor touching her skin.

“I know you have a dagger in your hands, beautiful. You can also use it to hurt me, but whether you succeed or not will depend on your skills.”

He softly bit Huijun’s earlobes as he spoke huskily in a flirtatious tone. Huijun was also smart, so of course, she knew this man’s intentions. She quietly clenched her teeth and held in the desire to hurt him.

The most important thing right now was to ensure her safety. She could withstand everything else.

The man lifted Huijun in a princess carry as he laughed and took her onto the horse.

The battle outside continued. The enemy troops were taking more of an upper hand.

Both the imperial troops and enemy troops were blinded by the bloodshed on the battlefield. They didn’t have a moment to spare to pay attention to the situation here.

The general felt content at the thought of capturing such a beautiful woman as his prize.

Just as he was about to pull out his weapon and continue fighting his way through, an unspeakable sense of danger ran through his entire body from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He couldn’t describe this feeling. To put it simply, it felt as if there were multiple pairs of eyes staring at him from his surroundings, making it impossible for him to escape.

The general scrunched his eyebrows as he scanned around to find the source of danger, his legs tightening around the horse. Then, he spotted a chaotic scene on the battlefield.

Huijun was laying in the man’s chest as she carefully planned out her next move.

She was aware that her face and body were the most attractive and irresistible aspect of her to men.

If she used it properly, she would be very safe.

Just as she was thinking this, the man carrying her suddenly yelled loudly and charged in a certain direction with his horse.

Huijun suddenly opened her eyes to see what was going on.

Her bright eyes slowly grew brighter as a feeling of sourness filled her heart.

“Lang… Langjun?”
