Compared to the imperial family on the city wall, the two groups of people fighting for the jade seal below were much more dumbfounded.
The light emitted from the jade seal's explosion proved that it was a real jade seal and not a high quality imitation.
The jade seal exploded!
The jade seal exploded!
Their heartbeats seemed to have stopped, and only the words that kept flooding their minds were left.
"Catch them!" The people on the city wall came back to their senses first and pointed at the people below and shouted. The imperial guards had been waiting to shoot. When the voice came out, the arrows shot towards the people below like shooting stars.
Both sides did not care about the jade seal's explosion and quickly rushed to the two sides of the city wall.
Since the jade seal had exploded, there was no point in staying.
Kill the person who exploded the jade seal?
There were so many imperial guards on the city wall. How could they beat them with so few people? Even if they could beat them, what was the use of killing her? The most useful thing was that the jade seal was gone!
Their escape route had been planned long ago, but they did not expect that their escape route had been blocked by the imperial guards.
"Fortunately, we found two routes just now. Go that way!" Someone in the team pointed in another direction.
When doing this kind of thing, of course, they had to think about the long-term. If they were caught, how could they escape?
However, reality hit them hard in the face. Looking at the imperial guards standing in the distance, they froze in place.
"Dead or alive." The imperial guard at the front raised his sword and ordered.
There was a lot of fighting below the city wall. Shi Sheng half hugged Chen Bei and waited for the medicine to take effect.
The dusk on the horizon was approaching. The fighting had already subsided, but Chen Bei did not react at all.
"Your Majesty …"
Shi Sheng looked up indifferently. The sunset on the horizon was reflected in her eyes, as enchanting as blood.
Ling Yi swallowed his saliva and reported in fear, "There are no survivors. The man in the bamboo hat ran away."
Shi Sheng didn't say a word as she tilted her head to look at the horizon. The sunset was gradually covered by the clouds. The light in her eyes dimmed bit by bit, sinking into a deathly still darkness. A suffocating gloom rose from the depths of her eyes.
The imperial doctors on the city wall did not dare to breathe. They even had to be careful when swallowing their saliva, for fear of startling their Empress and taking out her anger on them.
The night wind blew gently. Shi Sheng wrapped Chen Bei in a cloak, moved his stiff limbs, and carried him down the city wall.
Seeing Shi Sheng come down, the ministers at the foot of the city wall wanted to scold her for the imperial jade seal, but seeing her like this, they all felt as if someone was strangling their throats and couldn't open their mouths.
Under the night sky, the woman's entire body seemed to be shrouded in an even thicker layer of darkness. She gave off a sinister and evil aura. Anyone who got close to her could feel the cold air around her.
The ministers watched as she got into the car and headed towards the palace under the escort of the imperial guards.
"What's going on? His Highness wouldn't … "
"What happened up there just now?" The officials grabbed the imperial physician whose limbs were weak. "Why did the imperial jade seal explode? What happened to His Highness?"
His Majesty didn't look too good …
They were terrified!!
The imperial physicians were held back by a group of ministers and felt helpless. "Let go of me first. I can't even breathe. Let go of me …"
The imperial physician was finally able to catch his breath. Under the questioning of the ministers, he had no choice but to recount what had happened on the city wall.
"It's like this …"
"Then is His Highness?"
"Don't talk nonsense. His Highness is still alive." The imperial physician reprimanded, but in the next moment, he shook his head. "But he might not live past tonight …"
If the antidote was useless, His Highness would definitely not live past tonight.
But even after taking the antidote for such a long time, His Highness did not react. It could be seen that there was an 80% chance that the antidote was useless.
If His Highness died, what would His Majesty do?
The imperial physicians didn't dare to imagine how favored this Lord of the Royal Family was. Others might not know, but they, the imperial physicians, knew best. If the Lord of the Royal Family had a small illness, they would be anxiously called out to all of them. If they couldn't say something, no one was allowed to leave.
"Let's go, let's go to the palace."
No one knew who suggested it, but the ministers rushed to the palace in a hurry.
… …
The carriage stopped outside the bedchamber. Shi Sheng carried Chen Bei out of the carriage and walked inside with a gloomy expression. The people in the bedchamber were so frightened that their expressions changed. Ling Yi told them to go down, but she only followed them to the outside of the room and did not dare to go in.
If the antidote was useless, then His Highness …
It was better to leave this time to His Majesty and His Highness.
Shi Sheng gently placed Chen Bei on the bed. Chen Bei's eyes were still tightly closed, and the blue lines on his face had already faded. However, he did not wake up, and his vital signs were getting weaker and weaker.
Shi Sheng reached out to touch his face, and his fingertips rubbed against the side of his face.
Shi Sheng's gaze was a little blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, Shi Sheng leaned over and planted a kiss on Chen Bei's forehead. Just as she was about to get up, the eyelashes that were pressed against her cheek suddenly trembled.
The heartbeat and pulse, which were so light that they were almost inaudible, became stronger.
Before Chen Bei opened his eyes, he felt that he was pressed into a warm embrace, and a familiar breath assaulted his face.
"Your Majesty …" Chen Bei spoke with difficulty. "Are you going to suffocate me to death?"
The blocked air slowly seeped in through the gap. Chen Bei took a deep breath, and his heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
"Your Majesty, can you let go of me now?" Chen Bei tried to push the person who was holding him.
"Let me hug you for a while."
Chen Bei's heart suddenly palpitated, as if something had suddenly pierced his heart. His heartbeat, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again.
He reached out and hugged Shi Sheng, and even patted her back a few times.
Was she afraid?
Chen Bei admitted that it was the first time he had seen her like this. He could not refuse, and he could not help but feel sorry for her … …
"Can I kiss you?" Shi Sheng began to ask for a yard after taking an inch.
Chen Bei did not know where the guilt came from, but he inexplicably agreed. When he felt her warmth, Chen Bei finally woke up from his daze.
However, since it had already come to this point, it would seem a little unreasonable for him to refuse now, so he simply took the initiative to respond to her.
After the kiss ended, Shi Sheng returned to normal, as if the person who had made him feel a little helpless just now was not her. How could this person change his expression so quickly.
"Your Majesty, can you get up now?" Chen Bei was uncomfortable from being pressed down, and he looked at Shi Sheng with some discomfort.
Shi Sheng propped himself up and sat to the side, helping him sit up. "How do you feel?"
Chen Bei suddenly glared at Shi Sheng, as if to say, how can you ask such a question?
"What are you thinking? I'm asking you, how do you feel?" Shi Sheng said unhappily. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Chen Bei's face turned red. What was he thinking just now? He must have been stunned by the kiss just now!! It must be so!! It was all her fault!!
"No … no." Chen Bei stammered, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Shi Sheng's hand reached out and touched him.
Chen Bei was so shocked that he shrank back. "You, what are you doing?"
"Just touching." Shi Sheng looked innocent. "You won't let me touch you?"
Chen Bei: "…"
If you want to touch me, just touch me. Why do you have to say it so matter-of-factly! Should I let her touch me?
Perhaps it was because he had just been detoxified, but Chen Bei's mind was still a little muddled. His behavior was very uncontrollable. Not only was he shocked, but he was also very easily moved.
This was the reason why Chen Bei thought he was acting abnormally.
He firmly refused to admit that it was because of him.
