Chapter 131 Bad News Comes One After Another, Emperor Heavenly Essence Is Not Calm Anymore!
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Essence Palace.
Numerous ministers and members of the royal family gathered together, their faces pale.
They had been staying in this palace for several days and dared not take a step outside.
They could only discuss anxiously.
"That Great Qin Emperor is truly insane. He actually sent a million troops and two Saints to our Heavenly Essence during the crisis in Chang'an City. Doesn't he care about his own life anymore!?"
"I think that foolish ruler knows that Chang'an is doomed, so he wants to go down with us!"
"He's ruthless, truly too ruthless!"
"It's too late to say all this now. There are a million Qin troops outside our capital city now, along with two Saints. How can we resist?"
"Yes! Our Heavenly Essence Dynasty's thousand-year foundation is probably going to be destroyed!"
The ministers discussed one after another, their faces filled with panic and restlessness. When they talked about the Great Qin Emperor, they showed resentment and hatred, gritting their teeth.
They never expected that the Great Qin Emperor would be so crazy.
At a time when their own Chang'an City was facing a three-way siege and a life-or-death situation.
He even mobilized a million troops and even invited two Saints to attack their Heavenly Essence Dynasty.
If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Essence capital still had an elder Saint holding a Quasi-Emperor weapon guarding the palace, they would probably have been slaughtered long ago.
Emperor Lin Yuan of Heavenly Essence sat on a high platform, his face as calm as water, quietly watching the ministers' discussion.
He wore a golden dragon robe, exuding majesty and dominance between his brows. Every move he made carried the aura of a ruler.
However, at this moment, his gaze was uncertain, clearly not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Only he knew how dire the situation in the Heavenly Essence capital was.
Although the elder Saint had repelled the two Saints from Great Qin with the Quasi-Emperor weapon, the situation was not optimistic.
Firstly, the elder Saint was already old and had little life left, unable to maintain the Quasi-Emperor weapon for a long time.
On the other hand, the two female Saints from Great Qin had no limitations on their lifespan.
The longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Heavenly Essence Empire. Once the elder Saint couldn't hold on any longer, it would be the moment when the Heavenly Essence Palace fell.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
A minister walked up cautiously and asked.
The other ministers also focused their gaze on Emperor Lin Yuan. Their only hope now was their own emperor.
If he was helpless, then they could only wait for the moment of destruction to come.
"I really didn't expect that the Great Qin Emperor would be so ruthless, not only mobilizing a million troops to besiege the capital, but also sending away two Saints from Chang'an."
Emperor Lin Yuan glanced at the minister and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, he couldn't show any signs of panic. He had to stabilize the morale and bring hope to the ministers.
Emperor Lin Yuan looked around, his expression serious, and said, "But you don't need to worry, I have already notified the various armies to come and support us. I believe it won't be long before they come to rescue us!"
"As for the elders in Chang'an City, I am already in contact with them. With their abilities, they will be able to return to Heavenly Essence in half a day."
Upon hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this would weaken the defense of various border areas and even lose the best opportunity to attack Chang'an.
But they couldn't afford to consider so much now.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Some clever individuals quickly flattered and praised.
"Hahaha, since Your Majesty has made all the necessary preparations, we don't need to worry."
"Great Qin Emperor, you're practically asking for death!"
"I, Heavenly Essence, am an eternal dynasty. How can I allow them to act recklessly?"
"A mere Great Qin, how can it compare to Heavenly Essence?"
"After Great Qin is destroyed, I will definitely torture and kill that Great Qin Emperor, tearing him apart and flaying his skin!"
Some ministers also realized what was happening and burst into laughter.
Emperor Lin Yuan of Heavenly Essence saw this and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Then he stood up and spoke loudly:
"My esteemed ministers, rest assured. With the help of our ancestors, Heavenly Essence Dynasty will surely overcome this calamity!"
However, before he finished speaking.
"Report—"
Suddenly, a cry rang out in the hall. A member of the Imperial Guards rushed in and knelt down, shouting:
"Your Majesty, the Great Qin cavalry has breached the city gates and is advancing towards the palace!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing the eunuch's report, all the ministers of Heavenly Essence Dynasty turned pale with fear.
Especially the members of the royal family, they trembled in fear.
Emperor Lin Yuan of Heavenly Essence also had a change in his expression, but he quickly stabilized himself and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, everyone. The palace is guarded by our ancestors, and we have the Quasi-Emperor troops stationed here. The Great Qin army cannot break in!"
The ministers looked at each other, swallowed nervously, and their tense expressions eased slightly.
Then, a sharp voice sounded:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The Second Prince, the Seventh Princess, and the Ninth Princess have all been captured!"
What?!
This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, shaking the hall.
The hall erupted in chaos, and everyone gasped in disbelief, looking around in confusion.
"What... What did you say?!"
Emperor Lin Yuan of Heavenly Essence widened his eyes, his pupils shrinking, his face turning pale.
His previously calm face suddenly twisted and distorted, and he grabbed the eunuch by the collar, shouting:
"Didn't I send people to bring them back? How could they be captured?!"
Emperor Lin Yuan's face changed drastically.
The eunuch was terrified, trembling all over, and crying out:
"Your Majesty, spare me! The people you sent were all killed by the Great Qin Saint. The Second Prince and the Seventh and Ninth Princesses were captured before they could enter the palace..."
"Get lost, useless!"
Emperor Lin Yuan was furious, kicking the eunuch away. He roared, and the entire hall seemed to tremble.
The other ministers fell silent, unable to say anything except to console him:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as the ancestors of Chang'an City return to Heavenly Essence, all crises will be resolved!"
"Please calm down, Your Majesty, and wait for the return of the ancestors."
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as Heavenly Essence stands, even if the princes and princesses are taken by Great Qin, they dare not harm the Second Prince. Please don't be angry and take care of your health."
"Your Majesty, please calm down..."
Emperor Lin Yuan of Heavenly Essence heard their advice, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his anger, making himself as calm as possible.
After all, he was also a generation of emperors, and he could handle this situation.
But just at that moment.
A tumultuous noise suddenly came from outside the hall.
