Chapter 242: Have You Ever Been in Love

Chapter 242

Bang!

The assassin from Shadow Gate fell!

As he collapsed, everyone could still smell a burnt odor.

At this moment, whether it was Pei Changying, the court officials, the prime minister, Shadow Gate, or the Imperial Guards.

They all stared at Gu Sang with jaws dropped in shock.

An official trembled as he stared at the electric baton: "Is this also a weapon from the future? But why have we never seen it in the live broadcasts?"

"How can this weapon be so strange and unpredictable?"

The Elder Princess's body fell towards Gu Sang, who quickly turned off the electricity and reached out to support her.

"You've been poisoned!"

Seeing the Elder Princess's pale face, Gu Sang was so angry she almost swore: "Wei Qi."

"Sit down first, don't move around carelessly."

Gu Sang took out various medicines from her pocket, then used alcohol and other materials to disinfect and clean the Elder Princess's wound.

Although Shadow Gate only had a few dozen people, they were indeed one-in-a-million experts, trained from childhood to be killing machines, murdering without hesitation.

Moreover, their swords were coated with poison, making them impossible to guard against.

In just a short while, hundreds had already died at the hands of Shadow Gate.

Combined with the siege of the Imperial Guards, their previous advantage had completely disappeared.

Gu Sang suddenly raised her head, looking coldly at the man not far away, that Pei Changying who still pretended to be affectionate and wanted to marry her as his empress.

To hell with being empress!

The situation had already become a matter of life and death, and today there was no such word as failure.

It was either victory or death!

"Sang Sang, I've told you long ago that I am the one destined by heaven."

"And you are the goddess in the hearts of the people. Only you are worthy to stand by my side!"

"Come here, come to my side, and be my one and only empress." Pei Changying's confident and smug laughter sounded particularly grating.

Gu Sang put down the electric baton in her hand, slowly stood up, and took a few steps towards Pei Changying.

Seeing Gu Sang put down her weapon, Pei Changying looked at her with a predatory gaze, as if looking at prey, waiting for Gu Sang to beg before him, to plead with him.

"Pei Changying, we indeed underestimated you. We didn't expect you to have a backup plan."

"You want me to regret, to be a caged flower in the palace, right?"

"Heh, to hell with your empress position, I only want the world!"

"Before dying, to see you cry, this servant is truly happy. Changying, in the next life, I still want to continue loving you. Can we be husband and wife, just the two of us?"

However, Gu Qingrou didn't have the chance to say: In the next life, please don't wait until I'm dying to love me...

Seeing Pei Changying's tears, she left this world, satisfied.

"Qingrou, Qingrou......"

Pei Changying trembled as he held Gu Qingrou in his arms, not caring that the blood from her mouth stained his wedding attire.

He gently caressed Gu Qingrou's face over and over, his warm tears falling onto her face.

At this moment, Pei Changying showed the most tender side of his entire life, but Gu Qingrou could no longer see it.

While the emperor was expressing his love to his lovesick brain, Gu Sang didn't just stand by idly.

She directly dealt with the officials surrounding Pei Changying. When Gu Sang shot and killed the third official, the others realized the situation was hopeless.

Faced with that black weapon, the officials were so frightened they surrendered one after another.

Gu Sang blew on the smoking barrel of her gun.

She approached Pei Changying, looking down on him, and broke this tender moment with cold, ruthless words.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such deep affection, I'm almost moved."

"Pei Changying, hand over Shadow Gate's command token."

"At this point, even if you have Shadow Gate's assassins, it won't change anything."

Pei Changying raised his head to look at Gu Sang sorrowfully. The tenderness in his eyes was gone, replaced with hatred as he gazed at her.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

General Qin arrived with hand grenades!

No matter how formidable Shadow Gate was, they were no match for modern weapons.

Pei Changying swept his gaze forward, seeing corpses strewn everywhere, both rebels and Imperial Guards.

His gaze swept back, only to find that the officials who had just been surrounding him, clamoring to protect him, had long since scattered like birds and beasts.

The assassins were likewise surrounded by the enemy, unable to reach his side.

Pei Changying laughed bitterly, taking out the token from his bosom.

He looked to the sky and cried out: "Time does not wait for me, and the officials have turned their hearts away."

"Yes, you're right. Even with Shadow Gate, I can't reverse the situation."

"You want the token, fine, but I still want to know one thing. Can you tell me truthfully?"

"Gu Sang, did you ever truly love me?"
