Chapter 1520: Chapter 1521: Is this person really the Emperor of Chilin?
The young general said, "This General is not lying to you. If you don’t believe, ask them."
Everyone else immediately nodded, expressing that Gong Juechen really did the killing. Some even said, "The skill of Military Doctor Gong is really remarkable. I think only the Great General in this camp could defeat him."
Qiao Shouye sighed, "Truly, a real person hides their abilities well."
...
Jiang Feisheng died, and all the Chilin soldiers who charged out from the Chilin Imperial Palace were wiped out. With things like this, Xiao Changyi waited no longer and stormed into the Chilin Imperial Palace with his men, determined to take the Emperor of Chilin’s head to comfort the spirit of his foster father in heaven.
Jiang Feisheng only left five thousand to protect the Emperor of Chilin.
Xiao Changyi brought at least three hundred thousand soldiers into the palace. How could those five thousand stand against Xiao Changyi? Yet none of the five thousand were willing to surrender, swearing to protect the Emperor of Chilin to the death.
The last of the five thousand died at the entrance of the Emperor of Chilin’s bedchamber, and Xiao Changyi lifted his foot and kicked open the door to the Emperor’s bedchamber.
As the door was kicked open, a stench immediately wafted through.
Inside the bedchamber, eunuchs and palace maids knelt all over the place, everyone trembling for fear that Xiao Changyi might kill them.
Xiao Changyi walked in expressionlessly, and upon seeing the person on the dragon bed, his cold eyes faltered.
On the dragon bed, a man wearing a Dragon Robe was curled up there, with his whole body festering, emitting waves of stench, trembling from the intense pain in his abdomen and heart, breath faint as gossamer. Upon seeing Xiao Changyi, he did not show fear; instead, his already sunken eyes grew more sinister, with a clear indication in his gaze that he hated Xiao Changyi and wished him dead.
"Is this really the Emperor of Chilin?" With his face festering, even though he had seen the Emperor of Chilin, Xiao Changyi couldn’t recognize if this person was indeed the Emperor.
A eunuch kneeling beside the dragon bed immediately answered tremblingly, "Yes, indeed..."
The Emperor of Chilin was in extreme pain, yet he no longer had the strength to end his own suffering. He originally intended for Jiang Feisheng to find a doctor to save him, but Jiang Feisheng didn’t come; instead, Xiao Changyi arrived.
The poison was truly terrifying, causing not only his body to fester but making him feel as if countless ants were devouring his heart, leaving him in unbearable pain, draining his strength away. Now he could only lie on the bed, at the mercy of others.
He couldn’t even utter a single word.
"How did he end up like this?" Xiao Changyi asked again.
The eunuch immediately replied, "The Emperor realized he was poisoned after having breakfast, but the Imperial Physicians couldn’t identify the toxin nor find a remedy. General Jiang said he would find a skilled doctor for the Emperor, but before he could, the symptoms worsened, and not even a day has passed—it has come to this."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood why Jiang Feisheng let the army out of the palace today. The real reason was to find a skilled doctor to detoxify the Emperor of Chilin and save his life.
Xiao Changyi’s cold eyes slightly narrowed, but he didn’t ask further.
At this moment, the Emperor of Chilin on the dragon bed made a movement. He trembled continuously, his entire body spasming, and despite his face being festering, the grim expression on his face was terrifying.
The spasms didn’t last long before the Emperor of Chilin breathed his last. Even in death, his sinister eyes remained wide open, displaying a look of eternal unrest. Yet Xiao Changyi didn’t spare a glance, turning around, and with a swift swing of his Longsword, the Emperor’s head separated from his body.
