"Who?" Emperor Yuanwu's face was already extremely gloomy.
"Your Majesty..." The man lay on the ground in pain and struggled, "I never thought that your Yuan Kingdom's emperor would use such despicable means as our Crown Prince."
Crown Prince?
"Father, the Seven-Colored Bird just put a Gu worm in his mouth."
However, under normal circumstances, this Gu worm won't take effect so quickly.
Judging from his current state of pain, there must have been a Gu worm inside his body before.
The original Gu worm, feeling its territory has been invaded, will attack the newly arrived Gu worm.
【Oh no!】
Upon hearing Mu Qianqian's thoughts, Emperor Yuanwu instantly confirmed his suspicions.
Looking around, only Prince Ning seems to love raising Gu poison.
He had been practicing tyranny in Ningguo, using despicable things like Gu worms to control some masters in the martial arts world in order to achieve his goals.
That means...
Those who wanted to assassinate the Empress Dowager were from Ningguo.
The other arrested men in black glanced at him lying on the ground, his face contorted in agony, and their eyes widened in shock.
For those of them who practice martial arts.
Various forms of torture and detention within the imperial palace.
For them, it was just a minor physical pain, nothing to brag about.
But the Gu worms will gradually destroy their will.
That feeling of millions of ants gnawing at your bones and heart.
Only those who have tried it know how terrifying it is.
[Father, make him reveal who's behind this.]
[If he's willing to talk, I can help him force the Gu worms out of his body.]
Emperor Yuanwu:? ? ?
What!?
His eyes widened in shock; he hadn't expected this.
Mu Qianqian actually has such a skill.
"If you are willing to reveal the mastermind behind this, I will not only forgive all the mistakes you have made, but I can also help you force the Gu worms out of your body," Emperor Yuanwu said sullenly.
The man in black lying on the ground had already scratched himself with his fingernails, leaving bloody marks on the floor next to him.
He felt he must be delirious from pain.
Otherwise, how could such a hallucination occur?
Under heaven, apart from the Crown Prince and Prince Ning of Ning, no one else can control the Gu worms they raise with various poisons.
Those experts who submitted to Prince Ning could have already escaped.
The man in black concluded that this was merely a tactic by Emperor Yuanwu to trick him into revealing the truth.
"Really? Emperor of Yuan Kingdom, is what you're saying true? If I can tell you the whole truth, you can help me expel the Gu worms from my body."
A voice suddenly rang out from among the arrested men in black.
Emperor Yuanwu couldn't help but glance in Mu Qianqian's direction.
Say yes, say yes now!
Mu Qianqian was so anxious she felt like she was scratching her head, wishing she could speak herself.
I heard Mu Qianqian's inner thoughts.
Emperor Yuanwu seemed to have gained more confidence.
Anyway.
He was the ruler of the Yuan Kingdom.
Today is also the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
Not only were all the concubines in the harem present, but even civil and military officials and their relatives came.
If these men in black really do reveal the mastermind behind it all...
If he fails to keep his promise, wouldn't he be publicly humiliated, making it impossible for him to maintain his standing in the Yuan Kingdom in the future?
Emperor Yuanwu's eyes darkened.
"Your Majesty," the Empress suddenly stepped out from the crowd and knelt before him, "Your Majesty, please do not listen to the wild words of these assassins. If they are only interested in getting rid of the Gu worms in their bodies, who can guarantee whether what they say is true or false if they randomly point to someone?"
