After the queen left, the imperial concubine hurried into the emperor's bedroom. Seeing the emperor lying on the bed as if he were in an idiot state, the imperial concubine couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Just this one laugh confused the eunuch and the eldest prince around the emperor.

The chief eunuch looked pale, and thinking that His Majesty could still hear the noises from outside, he stepped forward and gave him a few reminders.

"Your Majesty, although your Majesty is now severely poisoned, he will recover soon. Your Majesty, although unable to speak or see, understands your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

This sounds nice, but in fact it is a reminder to the imperial concubine, "Don't talk nonsense, His Majesty can hear everything."

However, the imperial concubine didn't care at all and just rolled her eyes, showing her arrogance.

"It will be well soon, Doctor Wen. Could you please let His Majesty stay like this for a few more days? I'd like to see His Majesty make a fool of himself. Look at him like a wooden man. It's better this way. It's better for him to stay by my side honestly, rather than coveting this beauty today and that noble tomorrow!"

Looking at the entire harem, only the imperial concubine dared to speak like this, which scared the eunuch so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The eldest prince also held his forehead repeatedly, saying that the imperial concubine was really bold.

"Your Highness, please don't make the Emperor angry right now. If he doesn't recover soon, things will be very troublesome."

The imperial concubine looked nonchalant and casually waved her hand to indicate that she understood.

Don't be fooled by her appearance. In fact, when Doctor Wen suggested that there might be danger in exchanging essence and blood, she was more anxious than anyone else.

"Have you ever experimented with using poisonous insects to exchange essence and blood? Is it feasible?"

Doctor Wen was not completely sure either, and Xiaochun knelt on the ground, not daring to answer or even raise her head, for fear that the imperial concubine would be unhappy.

And everyone knows that the imperial concubine has always been spoiled and quite favored by His Majesty. Now it seems to be really like this. If she says something wrong, won't she drag herself out and chop herself into pieces?

Thinking of this, Xiaochun was so scared that she was shaking. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine suddenly squatted in front of her, stretched out her fingers to hook her chin, and lifted her head up.

Xiaochun was a little scared and glanced in the direction of Doctor Wen, but saw him nod at her. Xiaochun had no choice but to tell the truth.

"As for the Imperial Concubine, this insect has not been tested on humans yet. To guarantee its safety, unless..."

Xiaochun hesitated for a long time but still didn't know what to say, which made the imperial concubine very anxious.

"Unless what? Can you please tell me all at once? I'm really going to be driven crazy!"

"Your Highness, unless there is a woman who is willing to place the Gu worm into her body and feed it with her own heart and mouth blood for three days, it will be absolutely safe. Moreover, this woman is best to understand the internal martial arts."

When the imperial concubine heard this, she realized that this was exactly herself. As the daughter of a military general, she focused on cultivating internal strength when practicing martial arts because of the huge disparity in strength between men and women.

"Where is this insect?"

Xiaochun tremblingly took out a small silver box, and a small black maggot that had shriveled into skin appeared in front of people's eyes.

The moment the imperial concubine saw the maggots, she felt so disgusted that she almost vomited.

"This bug is so ugly, it's almost as ugly as your Majesty!"

Just this one sentence made the emperor's eyebrows twitch. How could he be not even as valuable as a bug in the eyes of the imperial concubine?

However, the next second, the emperor heard a cry of surprise from people outside.

"Your Highness, please don't do that!"

"Mother!"

In desperation, the eldest prince and several other people shouted in unison, but none of them could stop the imperial concubine.

She just grabbed the bug and without saying a word, threw it into her mouth and swallowed it.

“That’s so disgusting!”

The traitor was terrified. He only knew that the imperial concubine was arrogant and domineering, but he never imagined that she loved His Majesty so deeply.

"My Lady, why don't you listen to the end? This has sucked the blood from your heart. From now on, your cultivation of the inner family's mental method will stop here."

The imperial concubine snorted coldly, as if she could continue practicing if she didn't do this!

"Okay, we've already eaten. Why are you talking about this? What should I do next?"

Xiaochun was stunned. This imperial concubine seemed arrogant and domineering, but in fact she was a very affectionate person. It seemed that she really loved the emperor.

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will go and boil some medicine to awaken the insect. It will then find its way to your heart meridian."

After saying that, Xiaochun almost crawled to the side hall where her full set of equipment was.

At this time, the imperial concubine returned to the emperor's bedside and couldn't help sighing as she looked at him.

"I've been defeated by you my entire life. If I hadn't been deceived by your sweet words, I would have galloped across the border and lived a life of freedom."

The imperial concubine had not said such words for many years, and at this moment the emperor suddenly had a tear in his eye when he heard it.

Only then did the eldest prince realize how much the imperial concubine had contributed to his father.

Moreover, in a state of desperation just now, he actually called the other party "mother".

Looking back now, perhaps I should have called her earlier. The queen had been childless for many years and was extremely jealous.

Although the imperial concubine was arrogant and domineering, she was able to block countless of her tricks, which allowed the three princes to grow up safely.

At this point, the eldest prince walked forward and knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness Prince Yu is fine, why is he being so polite?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, has great affection for my father. I admire you!"

"Come on, that's because your father is good at sweet talk. If he had a dull personality like you, I would have looked down on him!"

The eldest prince lowered his head and smiled suddenly. This was true. If it were him, he would probably not be able to control a woman like the imperial concubine, who was so flamboyant and bright.

The news that the imperial concubine used her body to raise poisonous insects to help His Majesty detoxify soon reached the ears of the second and third princes.

"Second brother, I never thought that the imperial concubine would be so disregarding of her own life and death."

The second prince smiled slightly. He had long expected that the imperial concubine would be such a person.

As the daughter of a military commander, the imperial concubine is a woman of great affection and passion. If her heart was not entirely devoted to her father, how could the numerous concubines in the harem control her, a phoenix?

"The Imperial Concubine's love for our father was evident long before we were able to grow up safely. Could it be that she loves the whole family so much? Given the Empress's personality, do you think the three of us brothers could have made it this far?"

The third prince then nodded in agreement. What he said was not wrong.

"Second brother, things have come to this point. Let's take action after our father recovers. But this time, can we strangle the Wen family in one fell swoop? Don't let them stay here any longer. I feel uncomfortable with them making trouble every now and then."
