Chapter 272 The Emperor is seriously injured and Concubine Tao is missing

He Linzhang's eyes widened and he said in horror: "No! Yan Yan!"

The Demon Lord also stopped attacking, frowned slightly, and stared at her.

Tao Yanyan brought the hairpin closer and said to the Demon Lord, "Let Your Majesty go, otherwise, you will never be able to get my blood to heal your illness!"

Hearing this, the Demon Lord couldn't help but sneer. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Well, you are really good. You dare to threaten me! Do you really think that I will be threatened by you?"

However, although he spoke tough, the Demon Lord was hesitant in his heart. After all, Tao Yanyan's blood was of vital importance to him. If he could not get it successfully, his stubborn illness that had plagued him for many years would be difficult to cure.

For a moment, the situation was in a stalemate and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

After careful consideration, the Demon Lord narrowed his eyes and said to He Linzhang: "That's all for today, retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, in full view of everyone, the Demon Lord teleported to Tao Yanyan's side in a few breaths, knocked her hairpin off her, grabbed her directly, and then teleported a hundred meters away at lightning speed.

The shadow guards didn't see his trajectory clearly. He Linzhang was prepared. As soon as the Demon Lord finished speaking, he quickly flew towards Tao Yanyan, wanting to hug her tightly. Unfortunately, she only grabbed a piece of Tao Yanyan's clothes.

"Chase, chase quickly!" He Linzhang quickly led the shadow guards to chase in the direction of the Demon Cult's retreat, and they must track down the people!

But the Demon Lord moved too fast, and they were instantly hit by a pile of exploding smoke, which choked them so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

When the smoke cleared, there was no sign of Tao Yanyan and the Demon Cult except for the people brought by the emperor.

He Linzhang was so angry that he vomited another large mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty!" The shadow guards all exclaimed.

He Linzhang was seriously injured and was still muttering Tao Yanyan's name when he fell down.

If Tao Yanyan hadn't experienced it herself, she would never have imagined that people could actually move freely in the forest. She only saw patches of forest passing by beneath her, and soon she could no longer see He Linzhang.

When she stopped, she had arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard. She couldn't tell the direction or where she was.

Because the Demon Lord had expended a lot of his internal energy, he was a little shaky after reaching the yard. It was only with the help of the people in the yard that he was able to stabilize himself.

None of his men followed him, perhaps because they didn't have such good martial arts skills, or perhaps they were tripped up by the shadow guards. Anyway, there were only the Demon Lord and two or three people from the Demon Cult in the yard now.

When Tao Yanyan saw that the Demon Lord had a pale face and his hand was on his heart, he knew that he might have a heart disease or something like that. In the future, he could still be cured through surgery, but now, it was probably hopeless.

"You are being too frivolous. You just hold on to me and fly. What if you run out of energy and fall down in the air? Wouldn't my life be in danger? I beg you to be more careful. Since you invited me to help, please show some sincerity!" Tao Yanyan complained wildly.

The Demon Lord was furious: "You still don't want to protect your life? Haven't you already stopped taking your life seriously? How dare you threaten me with your life?"

After saying that, he coughed for a long time and felt like he couldn't breathe.

Tao Yanyan cleared her throat: "Who told you to hit him so hard that he vomited blood! I warn you, he is not only the emperor of the Great Zhou, but also my husband. If you dare to make me a widow, I will make sure you pay!" After that, she straightened her slightly messy hair, glared at the Demon Lord who was bending over and coughing, and went in.

The people in the yard looked at each other in bewilderment: Who is this? How dare she talk to the Demon Lord like this? Is she going to die?

Tao Yanyan casually walked into a room and saw the tea on the table. He poured himself a cup and gulped down three large cups before stopping.

I was so nervous just now that I didn't think carefully about anything I did when I was nervous. All my actions were subconscious stress responses. Now that I have relaxed, all kinds of chaotic and complicated thoughts have come flooding in like a tide and have flooded into my mind.

She couldn't help but start thinking, if the original owner was not of the Tao family's blood, then how was she adopted by the Tao family?

The Demon Lord only said that the previous leader of the Demon Cult was the original owner’s biological father, so who was the original owner’s biological mother?

There is also the seriously injured He Linzhang, and we don’t know how he is doing. Has he received medical treatment?

If the children don’t see me coming back, will they be sad and become crybabies who can’t be comforted?

If I'm not here, what will happen to the people in Changle Palace? Will they be bullied?

Countless questions swirled and intertwined in Tao Yanyan's mind, making her already chaotic thoughts even more disorganized.

The Queen Mother was enjoying the peaceful and comfortable life of her later years in the hot spring palace, but suddenly she received an urgent report from the palace: the Emperor was seriously injured and Concubine Tao was missing!

This sudden change made the empress dowager lose her usual calmness in an instant. She was extremely anxious and set off overnight, rushing to the palace without stopping.

The carriage traveled all night and as soon as the empress dowager returned to the palace the next morning, she went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

Along the way, her heart was in a knot, and all kinds of bad thoughts kept appearing in her mind. When she arrived, she saw Doctor Xu and Doctor Liu waiting with serious faces.

The queen mother didn't have time to go in to see him, so she asked anxiously, "How is Zhang'er? How serious is his injury? Tell me the truth!"

He Linzhang is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the only son of the empress dowager. If anything unexpected happens to him, it will not only affect the safety of the country, but will also be like stabbing a knife into the empress dowager's heart.

Doctor Xu saw that the Queen Mother was anxious, and hurriedly comforted her: "Your Majesty, although His Majesty vomited blood, fortunately, there was no damage to the root of the body. He will be fine after a few months of recuperation. The other injuries are mostly superficial injuries. They have been treated with the best medicine. They will be fine after a period of rest. The most important thing now is that Your Majesty is extremely anxious and worried about the safety of Concubine Tao, so he is too worried and aggravated his injuries."

"There is no worry about his life. Good, good. It's really the blessing of the Bodhisattva!" The empress dowager finally put her heart at ease: "You two have worked hard. Go and have a rest first. I will go in to see the emperor first." The empress dowager's tone was a little anxious.

Eunuch Qin beside her hurried forward and carefully helped the empress dowager in.

At this time, Concubine De was taking care of the emperor on the sickbed. Seeing the empress dowager coming in, she hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Your concubine greets the empress dowager!"

The empress dowager waved her hand gently, told Defei to get up, and then she ignored her and walked straight to the emperor's bed.

As he had just taken the medicine, the emperor had fallen into a deep sleep. However, even in his deep sleep, his handsome face still showed pain, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was as pale as paper. All the wounds on his body, big and small, were bandaged, which was shocking.
