When Chu Yunmo was brought to the palace, she was already on the verge of death. Upon seeing this, "Blood Purple Rose" immediately widened her eyes.
"Who? Who injured him like this?"
"What happened?"
Li Mufeng lowered his voice and asked Wang Feng, because it was Wang Feng who was responsible for picking up Chu Yunmo.
"Your Highness, when I arrived, the madam was forcing him to entertain customers, but Chu Yunmo refused and was beaten like this."
"Yun Ce, Yun Ce, wake up, wake up."
In the distance, "Blood Purple Rose" gently patted Qiu Yunze's face, calling his name again and again. Qiu Yunze finally opened his eyes, his long, slender, fair hand tracing the silky smooth face of "Blood Purple Rose," intermittently...
“Luo…Luo Yun…To be able to see you again in this life…to see you one last time is my good fortune, Qiu Yunce. If there is an afterlife, we…”
"Enough, Chu Yunmo, how long are you going to keep lying to Ziwei? Her name is Ziwei, Han Ziwei. Not Luo Yun. Don't mislead her."
Seeing that Chu Yunmo was about to make a promise with the woman he had chosen for the next life, Li Mufeng stepped forward and grabbed "Xue Ziwei" with a strong possessiveness.
"Yun Ce..."
At this time, "Xue Ziwei" had not yet regained her memory. Her mind was filled with memories of her time with Qiu Yunce in Qingyu Kingdom. Seeing that he was so badly injured, she was very worried.
"Don't worry about him, he won't die. With such great supernatural powers, how could his son be any easy target?"
Seeing that "Blood Purple Rose" cared so much about Qiu Yunce, Li Mufeng spoke indifferently.
He then coldly shouted,
"Enough, Chu Yunmo, stop pretending. I know you're just trying to gain Ziwei's sympathy, but you've been lying to her all along. Tell me! What's your purpose? And what is your relationship with Han Ruyi?"
Why have you helped her time and time again? And why did her mother, Mu Xue'er, transfer all the money from the Prime Minister's residence to you?
Upon hearing Li Mufeng mention Han Ruyi, Chu Yunmo struggled to her feet, glanced around, and seeing everyone staring at her, including the disheveled Han Ruyi on the ground, she couldn't help but curse.
"Fool, a good-for-nothing who only causes trouble."
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
"I suppose... I'm sure King Longxuan has already guessed it, hasn't he? My father has so many women, not only in Qingyu Kingdom, but also in your Zixiao Kingdom."
Han Ruyi is my half-sister. The money in the Prime Minister's mansion has naturally all been transferred to my father. Once he obtains the imperial seal, it will be the time to unify the world, hahaha…”
Chu Yunmo didn't hide anything and told the truth. Then she laughed loudly, vomited blood, and fainted.
"Yun Ce, Yun Ce..."
"Blood Purple Rose" rushed forward to help, but did not see that Li Mufeng's face was also pale. His body swayed, and his wound was in excruciating pain, a heart-wrenching pain. He didn't know if it was heartache or the wound reopening.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Wang Feng called out twice in concern, and Li Mufeng forced himself to speak.
"Execute him!"
"Hahaha...hahaha...not my child, not my child, you bitch, you bitch...I'll kill you, I'll kill you..."
Just as the two guards were about to take Han Ruyi away to cut open her abdomen and remove the child, Prime Minister Han Bingmo suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
Then, like a madman, he snatched the sword from a guard and stabbed it viciously into Han Ruyi's chest, one stab after another, ruthless and merciless.
The daughter he had poured his heart and soul into was actually someone else's. How could Prime Minister Han Bingmo bear it? Especially when he thought about how, over the years, she had repeatedly harmed his own son and daughter. Han Bingmo went mad.
"Haha... Dead, dead, haha... The bitch is dead, dead, haha... They're all dead, everyone's dead..."
"Guards, seize this man! He has plotted to harm the imperial heir; he deserves to die a thousand deaths."
Seeing Han Ruyi lying in a pool of blood, Wang Feng shouted in a deep voice, but then he heard Li Mufeng say...
"Forget it, let him be! After all, he's Ziwei's father."
After saying that, he glanced at Han Ruyi's corpse, his eyes turning ruthless.
“Drag him to a mass grave and feed him to the dogs.”
No sooner had Li Mufeng finished speaking than a minister exclaimed in surprise.
"Look everyone, what's that?"
All the people saw were two little fleshy balls sliding out of Han Ruyi's belly. The two little fleshy balls could even move, wriggling like maggots.
Han Ruyi's belly suddenly flattened, leaving everyone speechless.
"Could it be that the reason Consort Zhen's belly has been round lately is because of these two worms? Or is she pregnant?"
"No way! Many imperial physicians have examined her and all say that Consort Zhen is pregnant!"
"Could it be that the young prince was eaten by these two giant insects?"
...
The more they talked, the more mysterious it became, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines; it was terrifying.
"Your Highness, why don't you let me kill these two insects with my sword?"
A guard volunteered, and Li Mufeng felt he was about to give up, after all, he was injured and had been through so much.
"allow."
With his thick lips slightly parted, Li Mufeng shook his head again.
"Your Highness, if you really can't hold on any longer, why don't you go and rest first? I'll leave this to you."
Wang Feng was really worried, so he made a suggestion to Li Mufeng.
She glanced at "Blood Purple Rose" and saw that she only cared about Qiu Yunce. A fleeting look of disappointment crossed her eyes, and her face turned even paler.
"good."
There was nothing of great importance at the moment, and Li Mufeng turned to leave, but then he heard an old man's voice coming from not far away.
"Wait a minute."
Upon hearing someone shout to stop, the guard who was about to execute the two insects immediately stopped what he was doing.
"Dr. Ouyang, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing that it was the renowned physician Ouyang, Li Mufeng greeted him with great respect.
"The Prince and Princess saved my life, so naturally I must do my part to help them."
Hearing that the Prince had fallen ill, I came uninvited. Now that the Prince's condition has stabilized, I came to greet him and happened to witness this scene.
Doctor Ouyang briefly explained what had happened, then said in an unyielding tone,
“King Longxuan, these two insects must not be killed.”
"Can't they kill him? Why can't they kill him?"
Li Mufeng was filled with doubts, when he heard Doctor Ouyang say...
"This is a Gu worm, a 'pregnancy Gu.' Once someone ingests it, she will show signs of pregnancy, such as vomiting, weakness, and drowsiness."
This worm feeds on human blood, grows continuously, and even breathes, possessing the same pulse as a pregnant woman. Many imperial physicians are thus misled.
"Pregnancy curse?"
Li Mufeng glanced at Han Ruyi.
"So, Consort Zhen's pregnancy was due to the ingestion of Gu worms, and she wasn't actually pregnant with Father's child?"
With this thought, Li Mufeng finally felt relieved. He was truly afraid that his father, if he were alive, would resent him for not being able to tolerate his own siblings.
"By the way, why did Doctor Ouyang say that this Gu worm cannot be killed?"
Li Mufeng, like a curious child, and everyone else pricked up their ears, and then they heard Doctor Ouyang say...
"This Gu worm cannot be completely killed. It has a strong regenerative ability. If you forcibly split it in two or more, it will only multiply more."
"ah……"
The guard who had just tried to slay the Gu worm with his sword cried out in alarm and took several steps back as if he had seen a ghost, as if he was afraid that if he was even a moment too late, the Gu worm would crawl onto him.
"What should we do?"
Li Mufeng was equally worried, but then he heard Doctor Ouyang say...
"Why not give it to me? I've been researching Gu worms lately."
"Dr. Ouyang, please."
Li Mufeng made a gesture, and Doctor Ouyang sprinkled some powder on the Gu worms. The two Gu worms, which were the size of a fist, instantly shrank to the size of beans. Everyone was amazed.
Just as everyone was staring at the Gu worm, Li Mufeng also fainted on the ground...
