"No!" Xiu Zhicheng yelled out suddenly, his eyes widened in terror as he started breathing a bit hard that his mouth was even opened slightly. He was in a meeting with the Commanders of the Imperial army but the reason why he shouted wasn't about them or what they were discussing, it was about Si Ning.
One moment Xiu Zhicheng was in the meeting listening attentively as they devise their plans then it gradually became difficult to continue listening because of fatigue and his lack of sleep and for the first time he was unable to keep his eyes open so he felt his eyes shut down and fell into a quick sleep and what did he see the second he closed his eyes, he saw Si Ning lying on the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth as he chokes and he had an arrow protruding from his chest where his heart was and that was the reason Xiu Zhicheng shouted and jerked himself awake even most of the Commanders had no idea that the Emperor fell asleep because it was just a split second.
