Chapter 1152 Concubine Chen, You Are Not Dead
Gu Jinxiao did not resist rashly. His eyes passed over the chaotic crowd and the rebels and looked again at the luxurious tent that was heavily guarded and where the body of Concubine Chen was kept, as if he wanted to see through the thick brocade curtain.
The open space in the center of the camp was filled with an atmosphere of fear.
Hundreds of clan members, concubines, ladies of state and palace maids were surrounded like frightened birds by the murderous rebels holding sharp blades.
The late autumn sunshine is chilly, but it cannot dispel the coldness and despair in everyone's hearts.
The confidant that Duke Dingguo left in the camp was a man with a tough face and eyes like an eagle.
He stood in front of the crowd, holding a blood-stained sword, with a grim smile on his face that showed he had control over life and death, and a hint of impatience.
"Shut up, everyone! Listen carefully—"
The man's voice was like a bell, drowning out the sobs and whispers of the crowd: "The Duke has already killed the tyrant in the enclosure. Your lives all depend on the Duke's decision!"
"If you want to live, stay here quietly! Anyone who dares to move or try to pass on information..."
At this point, he pointed the sword in his hand at the body of the imperial guard who was chopped to the ground beside him: "This is the end!"
The bloody threat brought the already frightened crowd into an instant of silence, leaving only suppressed sobs and heavy breathing.
Despair enveloped everyone.
Even Concubine Zhuang closed her eyes, holding the broken Buddhist beads, and chanting silently.
The man was full of pride. He glanced at the group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered and was about to continue lecturing them.
Sudden--
"is it?"
A calm female voice, even with a hint of laziness and playfulness, suddenly sounded in the dead silent camp, like pearls falling on a plate!
The voice was not loud, but it had a strange penetrating power and was clearly heard by everyone present!
It's like dropping a drop of ice water into boiling oil.
Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction of the sound in disbelief.
The source of the sound was unexpectedly the Zhai Bird Auspicious Cloud Tent that had just announced the tragic news of Concubine Chen's death!
I saw the thick brocade curtain being slowly opened from the inside by a hand as white as jade.
Shen Zhinian's figure appeared at the door of the tent!
The peach-pink palace dress had a soft luster in the late autumn sunshine, and she wore a plain cloak with a sable fur trim, which made her face look extremely beautiful, without any signs of bruises or weakness from poisoning.
Those charming fox eyes were clear and sharp, like the sun reflected in a cold pond. Their gaze swept calmly over the horrified crowd below, and finally fell on the face of the rebel who was also stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.
There was even a faint smile on the corner of her lips: "When did it become the turn of a watchdog to decide the fate of the people?"
Dead!
The scene was absolutely dead silent!
Time seems to have frozen at this moment!
Everyone was as if they were under a spell, staring in amazement at the woman who should have been lying in the tent, dead with her intestines ruptured. But now she was standing in front of them alive and well!
Xuanbin suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes suddenly burst into a light of disbelief, the huge surprise made her whole body tremble!
Concubine Zhuang's fingers, which were twisting the Buddhist beads, suddenly froze, and the mask of compassion on her face completely shattered, leaving only unconcealable shock!
Concubine Wang was so shocked that she took a step back and almost tripped over her own skirt. She looked at Shen Zhinian as if she had seen a ghost!
Concubine Kang's eyes were also filled with astonishment, and her expression was so complicated that it was hard to read.
As the second young lady of the Duke Dingguo's mansion, Lin Wan was not driven into the crowd by the rebels. On the contrary, the rebels were very polite to her.
But the moment she saw Shen Zhinian appear, she breathed a sigh of relief silently, her tense body instantly relaxed, and her eyes were filled with relief that everything was settled.
Gu Jinxiao's tall body shook slightly, and his eyes, which were always cold, stared at the figure at the door of the tent, with extremely complicated emotions surging in them.
Shock, disbelief, and a huge shock that he himself had not even noticed, like regaining something he had lost...
He subconsciously took half a step forward, but the hem of his official robe was caught on the protruding stones under his feet.
Gu Jinxiao staggered, steadied himself, and finally came to his senses. He then forced himself to suppress his emotions and returned to his usual deep expression.
"You, you... Concubine Chen, you are not dead?!"
The rebel leader's voice was like a rooster with its neck strangled; it suddenly became high-pitched and full of horror.
He pointed at Shen Zhinian, his fingers trembling: "Impossible! That poison..."
"poison?"
Shen Zhinian chuckled, and the sound was like the collision of ice beads, with a bone-piercing chill: "If this palace is really that easy to die, wouldn't it be a waste of Liu Shixiu and the Duke Dingguo's family's 'hard work'?"
After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at the horrified leader and turned her gaze to the guards outside the camp who were surrounded by the rebels. They looked ordinary but their eyes became sharp at this moment.
Shen Zhinian's voice suddenly turned cold, with unquestionable majesty and murderous intent: "Where is the Dragon Armor Army?!"
"exist!!!"
One after another, uniform roars like thunder suddenly broke out from every corner of the camp!
Those figures who were originally wearing ordinary guard uniforms, or even disguised as servants and domestic servants, suddenly tore off all their disguises at this moment.
Their movements were as swift as lightning, and like magic, they pulled out hidden black iron crossbows and long and narrow dragon-scale swords from inconspicuous corners!
His eyes instantly became like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, cold, bloodthirsty, and full of iron-blooded murderous aura!
Although the number of Dragon Armor Army is less than that of the rebels, they are all elite, like ferocious beasts that have been lurking in the shadows for a long time, revealing their sharp claws in an instant!
The formation change was as fast as a ghost and was completed in the blink of an eye, encircling all the rebels in the center of the camp.
The strings of the cold crossbows made a "clicking" sound, and the dense clusters of arrows flashed the cold light of death, accurately locking onto every rebel!
"Order from the Imperial Concubine Fengchen!"
The leader of the Dragon Armor Army said in a voice as loud as the sound of metal clashing: "Kill all the rebels, and leave no one alive!"
"kill--!!!"
The deafening shouts of killing swept through the camp like a raging tide!
The Dragon Armor Army was like a black hurricane, with the momentum to crush everything, rushing towards the rebels who were terrified by the shocking reversal!
The knife flashes and blood spurts!
Crossbow arrows broke through the air, and screams of pain were heard!
The extremely elite Dragon Armor Army faced the panicked rebels and quickly took control of the situation!
Xuanbin looked at the figure who was still standing proudly at the door of the tent and giving orders amid the chaos and killing, and her tears finally burst out like a dam breaking.
She suddenly pushed away Zhu'er who was supporting her, and staggered towards Shen Zhinian regardless of everything, her voice filled with ecstasy and sobs after surviving a disaster: "Sister!"
"Sister Concubine Chen is not dead! Sister is still alive!"
