"Could this be an exaggeration?"
After reading the fourth prince's memorial, the emperor couldn't help but have some doubts.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the Fourth Prince, but rather that he couldn't believe such a terrifying thing existed in the world.
Turn people into demons?
This is impossible.
At this moment, the Sage no longer cared whether the Fourth Prince was colluding with Helian Jue; he only wanted to find out about this divine ointment.
According to the Fourth Prince's description, this item could not only destroy a person, but also turn the bravest warrior into a cripple.
If this thing really spreads, wouldn't his hundreds of thousands of troops become nothing more than decorations that are defeated without a fight?
The sage is the emperor, and he never hesitates to speculate about everything with the utmost malice.
"The Prefect of Yongzhou? He's secretly orchestrating this? Is he plotting something?"
“With poison, they can conquer the barbarians like the Liao and Li people. They can also use the same drugs on the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
"Could this be their true intention? To corrupt the army and overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
The more the sage thought about it, the more serious the situation seemed.
He picked up the fourth prince's letter and read it again from beginning to end.
He carefully studied and pondered every word and sentence.
After a long while, the sage raised his head, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
"Where are they? What about the people that Prince Yong sent?"
The fourth prince wrote very clearly in his letter that, in addition to physical evidence, he also sent “witnesses” through his own people.
These people have all used the "Fairy Cream" and are addicted to it.
To know just how terrifying the "Miracle Cream" is, just look at the appearance of these people.
The sage hurriedly issued the order, then got up and went to the animal taming garden.
The fourth prince also said that those people would go crazy and act mad once their drug addiction kicked in.
They're no less than wild beasts.
The sage was always cautious, so he ordered his men to lock these people in cages and send them to the animal park.
As soon as he arrived at the Beast Taming Garden, the Sage heard several mournful howls that did not sound like humans, but they were not beast roars either.
The sage hesitated for a moment.
He tilted his ear and listened intently—
"Ah~ please give me a bite, just one bite! Ah~~ please, just give me a bite."
"Help! Help me! I can't take it anymore! Ahhh!"
"Give it to me! Give it to me now! I'm in so much pain, I'm going to die!"
"Waaah~ Please, just give me a bite."
The sounds of crying and howling blended together.
There were only seven or eight people, but they were shouting like a hundred beasts roaring in chaos.
The sage's heart began to sink.
His steps were heavy as he slowly walked into the Beast Taming Garden.
Upon reaching the iron cage, he witnessed a scene that horrified him—
Someone was gripping the sturdy iron railings and banging their head repeatedly, blood already streaming down their face.
Some were curled up in a ball, convulsing, their faces covered in tears and snot.
Some people, as if possessed, cried and begged in vain, and then started biting their own arms.
"...These people...they all ingested the 'divine elixir'?"
The sage's voice was somewhat hoarse; even he, who was usually so composed, was stuttering a little.
"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."
The person who spoke to her was a guard from the Prince's residence, specially selected by Princess Xu.
He was extremely loyal to the Fourth Prince and Princess Xu, and was intelligent and eloquent.
He knelt respectfully before the saint and reported, "They have all ingested the divine ointment and are already addicted."
"The Fourth Prince specially ordered me to bring some 'immortal ointment'. These people have relied on this 'immortal ointment' to stay alive all the way."
Extending life?
In other words, these seven or eight people are already in critical condition.
The sage thought to himself, his eyes carefully observing the person in the cage.
He noticed that all of them were pale and emaciated, and looked sickly.
Yet this sickly person, when he went mad, was like a ferocious beast.
And then there were those one or two who self-harmed, incredibly ruthless, as if they weren't biting their own arms.
horrible!
That's terrifying!
This drug not only harms the body, it can also control the mind.
To give the saint a more direct sense of the terrifying power of the divine ointment, the guard took out something that looked like a bamboo tube.
"Ah! Give it to me! Give it to me now!"
Upon seeing the bamboo tube and the dark plaster, the few madmen cried out as if they were wild dogs seeing a bone.
The guards divided the eight men into two groups, giving one group the elixir and the other group nothing.
The four people who received the "divine cream" snatched it away despite their trembling bodies and began to frantically inhale it.
After swallowing a few times, the four of them visibly quieted down.
An expression of enjoyment appeared on their thin faces.
Feeling like I'm floating on air, surrounded by a dreamlike world.
Even just by looking at their expressions, the sage could sense that they seemed to be truly enjoying themselves and feeling very happy.
He was completely different from his crazy self just now.
The other four people didn't get any and could only watch helplessly as their companions enjoyed it.
They've gone increasingly insane.
Bang! Bang bang!
They pounded against the iron bars, their eyes filled with resentment as they looked at the guards.
"Give it to me! Why won't you give it to me?"
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
"Ah~ Ahhh~ Give it to me, please, I beg you, just one bite, just one bite!"
The four of them were in a chaotic mess, some crying, some begging, and some cursing.
Their outrageous behavior was unlike anything human; they were more like a pack of mad beasts.
