The words had barely left his mouth when a feathered arrow shot through the air.
With a thud.
It struck the messenger square in the back, and he collapsed, coughing up blood.
The assembled ministers were thrown into chaos.
Families screamed and rushed into the hall for cover.
Leng Yu Yan supported the Emperor by the arm: "Father Emperor, quickly, into the hall."
The Emperor refused, so she looked towards her grandfather and father.
The two of them supported the Emperor by the arms and dragged him towards the hall.
"I must face the enemy, face the enemy!"
Ye Yuan shouted, but the Leng father and son lifted him off the ground and forcibly took him into the hall.
Leng Yu Yan said to Empress Yu and Baili Shuoyu, "Godfather and Godmother, you also quickly enter the hall." She turned her gaze to Ye Zhenduan, "Fifth Brother, the matters inside the hall are up to you."
Ye Zhenduan nodded, protecting Princess Duan and their two children, and also ran into the hall.
