Chapter 1146 Concubine Chen Shen Zhinian passed away
Many more people were so shocked by the sudden bad news that they stood there in a daze, their faces filled with fear.
"Get out of the way!!! Everyone, get out of the way!!!"
The voice of the imperial guards was like thunder, carrying with it a murderous aura.
A team of fully armed black-armored imperial guards quickly rushed towards Shen Zhinian's tent like a black torrent.
The clanging sound of heavy armor colliding instantly separated the chaotic crowd and sealed off the area tightly.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn!
Tang Luochuan was almost carried by two imperial guards as he rushed into the tent.
His official physician uniform, which was always meticulous, was now a little messy, and his handsome face, which always had a gloomy look, looked even more lifeless.
"Doctor Tang, hurry!!!"
After the imperial guards released Tang Luochuan, he stumbled to the couch, ignoring the glaring blood and mess on the ground, and stretched out his trembling fingers to touch Shen Zhinian's wrist.
There was dead silence in the tent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Luochuan.
Handan's crying was suppressed and turned into broken sobs.
Time seemed to be stretched out, and every breath was extremely painful...
Tang Luochuan's fingers stayed on Shen Zhinian's cold wrist for a long time.
So long that it makes people despair...
Finally, he slowly withdrew his hand, and as if all the strength in his body had been drained, he staggered back dejectedly. He was supported by the guards beside him and managed to stand firmly.
Handan asked anxiously, "Doctor Tang, what happened to the queen?!"
Tang Luochuan raised his head. In his eyes, which were always somewhat gloomy, there was only a huge void and unbelievable pain...
He opened his mouth, and the sound coming out of his throat seemed like it was blocked by something.
After a while, Tang Luochuan's face turned pale, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He shook his head heavily at the people who were anxiously waiting in the tent.
He squeezed out a few words, his voice broken and desperate: "The Royal Concubine Chen... has been poisoned by a very strong and strange poison... no medicine can cure her..."
"Already, already...passed away..."
Tang Luochuan's words, like the final verdict, completely confirmed the bad news that no one dared to believe.
Concubine Chen, Shen Zhinian, passed away!
These two words, like a heavy hammer, hit everyone's heart hard!
The camp was in complete chaos and panic spread like a plague.
After a brief moment of silence, there was even greater chaos and grief!
“My Queen——!!!”
The heart-wrenching cries of Fuqiu and Handan seemed to pierce the sky, instantly detonating the suppressed grief in the camp.
Many palace maids and eunuchs who had received favors from Shen Zhinian could not help but sob.
The news spread quickly.
"Empress Chen...died suddenly?!"
"I heard it was poisoning! He vomited a lot of blood!"
"Oh my God! Just now, she died inexplicably in her own tent!"
"The people in the imperial court said that when the imperial physician arrived... the person was already..."
"..."
Whispers, exclamations and gasps of disbelief rang out in every corner.
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only this shocking news, echoing in the cold wind.
In her own tent, Concubine Wang clenched tightly the red gold and ruby hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers that Shen Zhinian had sent her that day as an "apology".
The sharp edge of the gem dug deep into her palm, causing a sharp pain, but she was completely unaware of it.
A huge ecstasy rushed into the princess' heart, making her cheeks flush with excitement and her body tremble with excitement.
died? !
That bitch who stood in front of her and stole all the attention from His Majesty, is she really dead? !
It was rumored that Imperial Physician Tang said that the poison in Concubine Chen would cause her intestines to rot and eventually not even her body would be intact...
Concubine Wang couldn't help but burst into laughter. The corners of her mouth stretched uncontrollably upwards in a twisted arc, and her eyes flashed with an almost insane light.
Her chance has finally come!
How heartbroken must Your Majesty be when he hears this news? This is the time when he needs comfort...
Wangpin tore the silk handkerchief in her hands with all her strength, as if it were the flesh and blood of her enemy.
She bit her lower lip hard, trying to suppress the smile that was about to burst out, and her face quickly changed into an expression of astonishment and sadness.
But the excitement deep in her eyes revealed Wangpin's emotions.
In Concubine Zhuang’s tent.
She was twirling her Buddhist beads, reciting scriptures silently with her eyes closed, her expression as gentle and calm as ever.
The eldest princess sat on a small stool and You Ruo was helping her to braid her hair.
She was swinging her feet in boredom, still feeling unhappy about not being able to help her mother invite her father to have dinner together.
The eldest princess trembled violently when she heard Handan's mournful cry, and the comb almost scratched her scalp.
She looked up blankly, with a look of doubt on her face: "What's wrong? Who is crying?"
Ruoji's face turned pale and he listened carefully.
The chaotic cries coming from outside made her heart tighten, and she quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Princess, maybe one of the servants was careless..."
At this time, Ruoli strode in from outside, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Your Majesty! Empress Chen Guifei... Empress Chen Guifei's tent... said... said that she died suddenly!"
"Fuqiu and Handan cried their hearts out..."
When saying this, a hint of secret joy flashed in Ruoli's eyes.
Concubine Zhuang's eyes, which seemed to see through the world with compassion, suddenly opened, revealing extreme shock: "What did you say?!"
She stood up quickly, and her movement even knocked over the teacup on the small table beside her. She was not aware that the tea had soaked the felt carpet.
Ruoli's words were like thunder, striking the princess' heart hard!
Madam Chen...
The Empress Chen who is always beautiful and whom my father loves very much.
The Empress Chen who took away a lot of her father’s time and prevented her and her mother from seeing her father.
Dead...dead? !
The eldest princess suddenly stood up from the stool, her big black eyes widened with disbelief.
Her small body froze, as if she had been stunned by a huge impact...
She no longer liked Empress Chen because she had monopolized her father's life.
She was just thinking, if only Empress Chen could spend a little bit of her father's time with her mother...
But she never thought of letting Empress Chen die!
For a moment, Shen Zhinian's charming and beautiful face flashed through the eldest princess's mind.
Sometimes it was the majesty that was so high above her that she dared not look directly at it.
Sometimes it was so annoying that she pouted slightly.
But more than that, she remembered the smile that Empress Chen would occasionally show her, which was as gentle as the warm spring sun.
And the way she sat quietly beside her father during breakfast in the imperial tent that day.
She didn't like that Empress Chen monopolized her father and prevented her and her mother from seeing him. She even went to beg her father out of grievance and secretly complained about it in her heart.
But she never thought that Empress Chen would die one day...
"Wow--!!!"
The princess was so overwhelmed with grief that she could no longer hold back. Her little mouth pursed and she burst into tears without any warning.
