A response like Youyi's did not reassure Xuanyuan Zhan.
Even someone like Xuan Yuan Yu, who had only been controlled by the puppet gu for a short time, only had three days to live after the gu was removed, so he was even more so.
Looking at the mother Gu, still lively and excited in the pottery jar, Youyi reminded him, "If you want to remove the Gu from him, do it while the mother Gu is still active, so that he can suffer less. The mother Gu cannot be separated from its mother body for too long, otherwise the mother Gu will die, and the puppet Gu in his brain will be left forever, and it will be impossible to remove it."
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned upon hearing this.
Looking at the lifeless Xuanyuan Peng on the bed, Bai suddenly seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Please ask Aunt Ning'er to help him remove the curse!"
"Mother!" Xuan Yuanzhan exclaimed in surprise, looking anxiously at Bai Shi.
After the curse is removed, he only has three days to live. How can this curse be removed so easily?
Bai knew what he was anxious about. She didn't want Xuanyuan Peng to only have three days to live, but things had come to this point, and this was the only solution. If they dragged it out any longer, things would only get worse.
“Let’s end it. Rather than letting him lie there like a puppet, silent and soulless, it’s better to let him live out his last three days of life vividly. I think even if he had his own consciousness, he would make the same decision as me.”
Zong Jiu's eyes suddenly reddened, and he choked up, saying, "The Empress Dowager is right. If His Majesty still has his own consciousness, he would definitely want to see the Empress Dowager and the Prince one last time while he is still awake, rather than become a puppet and die silently."
As Doctor You just said, even if the Emperor isn't cured of the Gu, he will still die once the puppet Gu consumes all of the Emperor's brain marrow.
Since everyone is going to die anyway, the Empress Dowager's decision was right.
Moreover, the Dowager Consort knew the Emperor so well that she knew he would make the same choice as her if he were sober.
Bai Shi and Zong Jiu were the closest people to Xuan Yuanpeng. Xuan Yuanzhan knew that their thoughts were right, but he just couldn't bear to do it.
I can't bear to watch him walk down a dead end, even knowing it's a dead end, or even to personally send him down that dead end.
Su Xuening walked to Xuan Yuanzhan's side, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Let's go outside and wait."
She knew he couldn't bear it, but it was the only way.
Since the emperor is going to die whether or not the curse is removed, it would be better to remove the curse from him.
I believe the Emperor would have preferred to face death with full awareness, rather than dying unconsciously and silently as he is now.
Xuanyuan Zhan also knew that removing the curse was the only way, and he was powerless to stop his mother from doing so.
Xuan Yuanzhan turned around and walked to the small couch, then carried Xuan Yuanyu, who was lying on the bed pretending to be depressed, out of the room.
Su Xuening nodded to Bai Shi and You Yi, then followed Xuan Yuanzhan out.
After Xuan Yuanzhan left, Bai Shi looked at You Yi and said, "Let's begin."
Youyi nodded, then stepped forward to shave Xuanyuan Peng's hair before starting to perform craniotomy on him.
Seeing Youyi perform craniotomy on Xuanyuan Peng, Bai Shi couldn't bear it and looked away, her heart aching so much that tears streamed down her face.
Zong Jiu was also silently shedding tears on the side.
The Emperor is so pitiful; it's all the Third Prince's fault.
The only good thing about Xuanyuan Peng's current condition is that he has no consciousness and no pain. This is perhaps the only thing to be thankful for, as he at least doesn't have to endure the pain of craniotomy.
Outside, Xuan Yuanzhan grabbed Xuan Yuanyu and threw him to the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards were frightened when they saw Xuan Yuan Yu's hair shaved off and blood gushing from his head.
How did the Third Prince end up like this?
"Send Xuanyuan Yu to General Cao and let him keep an eye on him," Xuanyuan Zhan said with disgust.
"Yes." The Imperial Guards responded and dragged Xuan Yuan Yu out.
Su Huiyan, who was guarding the entrance of Chengqian Palace, saw Xuan Yuan Yu being dragged out by the Imperial Guards. When she saw that he had no hair and was covered in blood, she immediately cried and rushed over to him: "You heartless bastards, how dare you harm my Yu'er like this!"
"Yu'er, how are you? Quickly let your mother see you."
Su Huiyan cradled Xuan Yuan Yu's head, wanting to see the injuries on his head.
"Mother." Upon seeing Su Huiyan, Xuanyuan Yu could no longer hold back his tears.
"Yu'er!" Seeing Xuan Yuan Yu in such a terrible state, Su Huiyan was heartbroken and immediately flew into a rage: "Damn it, who on earth harmed my Yu'er like this? I will exterminate your entire family!"
After shouting and seeing that no one paid attention to her, Su Huiyan got even more excited and started cursing at the top of her lungs: "Bai Fuya is a vixen, Xuan Yuanzhan is a bastard, Su Xuening is a little whore, you have the ability to harm my Yu'er, why don't you have the ability to come out and see me?"
Su Huiyan insulted Xuan Yuanzhan, and Xuan Yuanzhan tolerated it. But she also insulted his mother and Ning'er. How could Xuan Yuanzhan tolerate this? He went straight out of Chengqian Palace and ordered the Imperial Guards guarding the gate: "Since she likes to shout so much, then slap her in the face until she can't shout anymore!"
"Yes." The Imperial Guards responded and immediately rushed forward.
Su Huiyan was terrified and screamed again: "I am Consort Su, in charge of the Phoenix Seal! I'll see who dares to touch me!"
Unfortunately, the Imperial Guards were not afraid of her at all. Several of them rushed forward, grabbed Su Huiyan's hands, and slapped her twice.
The two merciless slaps made Su Huiyan see stars, and at the same time, they made her furious again: "Xuanyuan Zhan, you little bastard, how dare you treat me like this? I am the mistress of this harem. What are you? How dare you let them lay a hand on me!"
Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes turned cold as he roared, "Keep beating her until she stops screaming!"
At Xuan Yuanzhan's command, the Imperial Guards showed no mercy and began slapping the soldiers hard once again.
"Slap slap slap slap slap..." A series of heavy slaps stunned Su Huiyan.
When she came to her senses, she was instantly enraged: "Bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"
Su Huiyan wanted to rush towards Xuan Yuanzhan, but she was suppressed by the Imperial Guards and could not move at all.
The Imperial Guards originally intended to slap her a few times to shut her up, but she insisted on courting death, so they had no choice but to continue slapping her.
The Imperial Guards nearby did not forget Xuan Yuanzhan's orders, and dragged Xuan Yuanyu to find Cao Qi.
Su Huiyan was still yelling, so the slaps didn't stop.
Xuan Yuanzhan was too lazy to listen to Su Huiyan's cursing; it was an insult to his ears.
He was still worried about Xuan Yuanpeng's condition, so after wandering around outside for a while, he returned to the main hall with Su Xuening.
Inside the main hall, Youyi was still removing the curse from Xuanyuan Peng.
Perhaps because Xuanyuan Peng was controlled by the mother gu for a longer period of time, it took much longer to remove the gu from Xuanyuan Peng than to remove it from Xuanyuan Yu.
Two full hours later, the mother Gu finally found the offspring Gu in Xuanyuan Peng's brain and devoured it.
Youyi lured out the mother Gu, finally succeeding in removing the Gu from Xuanyuan Peng.
Youyi stitched up the wound on Xuanyuan Peng's skull again, during which time Xuanyuan Peng remained completely unaware.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Peng still showed no signs of waking up, Xuanyuan Zhan was extremely worried: "When will he wake up?"
