Paralyzed?!

Erzhu Huaji's pupils trembled violently and he could hardly believe his ears.

Tudora was lying on the ground, seemingly still not reacting, her eyes full of confusion.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Erzhu Huaji lifted Tudola's upper body and leaned her against his chest, shouting at Jiang Zhiyu: "The witch doctor couldn't have been unaware of the dangers. How could he not have informed us in advance? It's obvious that you were the one who secretly tampered with it!"

He was clearly losing his mind. Jiang Zhiyu shrugged, unwilling to argue with him: "If you think so, there's nothing I can do."

Erzhu Huaji's eyes were frozen. Tudola wanted to reach out and pull him, but no matter how hard she tried, her hand could not move at all.

It was not until this moment that Tudola truly realized that what Jiang Zhiyu said was true, and that she was really going to be paralyzed!

Her eyes were wide open, and everything she saw seemed to be covered by a layer of white mist.

Even though she was suppressing it, the sobs gave her away.

Erzhu Huaji looked down and saw that Tudola's beautiful face was full of emptiness and her eyes were filled with tears.

Erzhu Huaji was suddenly panicked.

He called Tudola in Nan Gu language and comforted her, but no matter what he said, Tudola did not respond at all and just kept crying.

The rest of the people present had no intention of watching their brotherly and sisterly love.

Seeing that the two of them had no ability to resist, the emperor waved his hand and the Jinyiwei approached step by step.

"Prince Yu and the Queen Mother are both infected by my poison," Erzhu Huaji said suddenly, looking at the approaching Jinyiwei. "If you kill us, no one can cure the poison in them."

Prince Yu and the Queen Mother were both startled. The string of Buddhist beads broke and scattered all over the floor. Both of them looked at Erzhu Huaji in disbelief.

Song Shiwei's pupils also twitched violently. She took care of the empress dowager's daily life. Could she have been bewitched too?

"So what?" the emperor sneered. "Don't you think that their lives can threaten me?"

"Of course, the two of them can't do it," Erzhu Huaji said with a smile on his face: "What if it's all the people of Tianqi?"

!!!

Erzhu Huaji's words were like a thunderclap, striking everyone's mind.

"What's the meaning?"

The emperor asked the question while glancing at Jiang Zhiyu.

To be honest, Zhiyu, he is old and can't stand being frightened.

Erzhu Huaji's eyes flashed with madness. "To avoid the current situation, my sister and I have made two preparations. You must have heard that there is a strange Gu in the south called Wanghun. If you are infected with it, we can use it."

"Prince Yu handed the Gu to his personal guards before the palace banquet. Since there has been no news from the palace for such a long time, Your Majesty might as well speculate whether he placed the Gu in the water source."

Everyone's expressions grew serious. They had heard of this Gu before. If it was really as Erzhu Huaji said, then wouldn't they, Tianqi, be in imminent danger?!

Some ministers panicked and looked at the emperor tentatively, while others stared at Erzhu Huaji with inquiring eyes.

The emperor's sharp gaze fell on Erzhu Huaji. After all, this was just his one-sided statement. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but...

If it's true, I can't afford the gamble.

"If it's true, why are you saying it out loud? At this time, he might not have released the Gu. If we go to stop him, we might be able to stop him."

Erzhu Huaji gave a bitter smile, "If I had a choice, I would naturally not tell you that you were poisoned. This is a good thing for us."

"It's just that I need a bargaining chip to negotiate with."

Erzhu Huaji looked at Tudora in his arms and touched her hair. "Even if they are poisoned, I can help them get rid of it. I have only one request." He raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhiyu intently. "I want her to cure my sister."

Everyone's eyes followed him and fixed on Jiang Zhiyu.

Some people suddenly realized that it was no wonder that it was said that Jiang Zhiyu's medical skills were not as good as the witch doctor's. It turned out that the witch doctor used those unorthodox methods.

For a time, the ministers who had been influenced by the rumors and had consulted witch doctors for treatment became anxious.

Could it be that they too have been infected with Gu?

Everyone's eyes suddenly became hot when they looked at Jiang Zhiyu.

When Jiang Zhiyu came back to his senses from SpongeBob SquarePants, he saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him like wolves staring at food.

Jiang Zhiyu: “…”

[It seems I don't need to learn welding; these people's eyes can still make me shine.]

emperor:"……"

He coughed lightly, realizing Jiang Zhiyu wasn't listening. He recounted the entire situation before asking, "What do you think, Censor Jiang?"

Erzhu Huaji's body was trembling slightly, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice it at all.

Jiang Zhiyu frowned slightly: "Do you believe this?"

[No way, this is obviously from you, the ass.]

If Nan Gu really had such a powerful ability, why would they fight a war? They could just send people to poison the place directly. The world would have been theirs long ago.

[It's not like a zombie, where one bite can infect you.]

[Wait, if they even believe this, then will they believe me, Qin Shi Huang, and send me money?]

Jiang Zhiyu touched his chin:

[These people seem easy to deceive, remember this.]

emperor:"……"

The few people who heard the inner voice: "..."

Jiang Zhiyu's words "How can you believe this?" were actually a complaint in his heart, but he said it out loud without paying attention.

The voice was a little soft, and although these three words were spoken, the tone could not be heard clearly.

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness or due to old age and hearing loss, when the emperor didn't speak, one of the ministers hurriedly responded: "I heard it, I heard it, Censor Jiang said 'this is also possible', and she agreed!"

Erzhu Huaji's eyes suddenly lit up.

The others were all stunned and looked at the minister in surprise.

The minister was unaware of this and mistook their gazes for praise for being the first to speak. He couldn't help feeling proud and even gave the emperor a subtle look.

The emperor slowly held his forehead.

Headache.

Jiang Zhiyu denied it three times: "I am not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Minister: "???"

He even felt a little unconvinced, looking at the emperor with grievance, he said: "I just heard it with my own ears."

Jiang Zhiyu sincerely suggested: "Why don't we go check out his ears?"

The minister snorted.

[Alas, so gullible and self-righteous. I'm really worried about the future of this country.]

emperor:"……"

The joy that had just risen in his heart was suddenly extinguished by Jiang Zhiyu's three consecutive rejections. Erzhu Huaji was anxious and spoke more quickly: "Jiang Yushi, you must think carefully. The lives of the people of Tianqi depend on your words. Aren't you afraid that you will become a sinner in the eyes of the people of Tianqi and be condemned by them in the future?!"

"I'm anxious," Jiang Zhiyu sneered. "Regardless of whether this Gu is real or not, even if it is, what do other people's lives have to do with me?"
