Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Ying was very surprised. Wasn’t he poisoned? Why did it become tuberculosis?
Then, she glanced at the Emperor. Seeing his big panda eyes and the way he kept coughing, she was really shocked.
She really didn’t expect that he would become like this in just a few months.
After that, she took a serious look at his body. Sure enough, his lungs were already cloudy, but there seemed to be worms stirring inside.
Perhaps the worms sensed her gaze and began to squirm uneasily. The Emperor coughed violently, scaring Zhou Ying into retreating immediately.
She went to look at the Empress. At this moment, the Empress was hugging a cat and leaning against a soft couch, leisurely eating oranges handed over by the palace maid.
She went to King Hui’s Residence. At this moment, King Hui was in his study room, plotting with a few strategists about when to start a rebellion and how to start a rebellion with minimal casualties.
As for King Kang and Prime Minister Su, they looked relaxed, as if they were waiting for something.
However, there was not the slightest bit of good luck on the heads of the four people, nor was there any purple royal aura. Instead, they were covered in a thick black fog, and it seemed that they were going to be in big trouble.
When she saw this, she returned to look at King Rui. At this moment, the purple aura above King Rui’s head was even thicker than before.
On the other hand, the purple aura on the Emperor’s body was getting fainter and fainter.
However, what puzzled her was that there were three black shadows in King Rui’s purple aura. Could the other one really be the Seventh Prince?
Thinking of this, she swept a glance at the Seventh Prince’s residence but did not find anything.
Who exactly was it? Could it be that someone was hiding and wanted to fight for the throne?
Thinking of this, she shook her head and didn’t care anymore. Let the Emperor have a headache over this. As long as King Rui didn’t die, it was fine.
“Why are you shaking your head?” Gu Chengrui asked curiously when he saw her open her eyes.
Zhou Ying did not hide anything and told him everything she had seen.
“It seems that the Emperor is wormed.
“However, it was done so secretively that no one thought the cause was worms.”
“Indeed, it seems that there are people at his side that belonged to King Hui or the Empress’ faction.”
“It’s normal, but I think the Emperor already has a plan.” Gu Chengrui then asked, “What do you plan to do if the Emperor asks Mother God for help?”
“I don’t think he will. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the risk of letting King Rui act out his disappearance.
“Of course, if he really came with sincerity, I don’t mind killing the worms inside. I won’t do anything else other than that, of course.”
“I can only say that he’s too confident.”
“It could also be his guilty conscience. Didn’t he also seize the throne back then?”
“So, don’t do anything wrong.” Gu Chengrui smiled.
After that, the two of them began to get busy in the interspace.
After they were done, the two washed a large plate of grapes, ate them, washed up, and went to sleep.
For the next three days, no matter what medicine the Emperor took, there was no effect at all. Of course, some people were happy and some were worried.
In the end, under the persuasion of the Empress Dowager, the mother and son finally went to the Mother God Temple.
Unfortunately, the Emperor’s lungs were already riddled with holes. Even if Zhou Ying killed the worms, he still probably wouldn’t live long.
Zhou Ying still used her divine senses to force the worms out through the Emperor’s windpipe.
When the Emperor saw the red worms in a pool of blood, he suddenly thought of something and stepped forward to crush the bug to death.
However, after the Emperor crushed the worms, he fainted.
The accompanying imperial physicians immediately surrounded him, and after a round of first aid, they finally saved him.
At the same time, in a village in the suburbs, an old man who was playing with snakes suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted..
