Birds on the edge of the abyss 45
This guy is stupid, he only reacted when Chu Xin and his family were mentioned. It seems that he is also a person who values ​​friendship. Feng Ze thought so in his heart, while stretching out his hands and looking at Bazhu.
The tall man looked down at her, puzzled.
Feng Ze sighed and said, "Stretch out your hand, and I will not hold your people accountable for their crimes."
Bazhu put his hand on hers, Fengze took out the dagger from his waist and cut it quickly and ruthlessly. Blood gushed out instantly. Fengze tapped a few times beside him to slow down the flow of blood. He looked up at Bazhu who didn't even blink, and motioned him to sit next to Shen Luli.
Bazhu did as he was told. Fengze took out a wooden box from his waist and took out a dark blue poisonous insect from it. The poisonous insect was shriveled and seemed to be in deep sleep. Fengze placed it directly in the wooden basin and placed Bazhu's hand on the basin. Blood dripped down and dyed the body of the poisonous insect red.
Feng Ze saw the blood being sucked dry by the insect quickly and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. If she wanted to wake up the Gu during its hibernation season, the only way was to pour blood on it, and a huge amount of blood was needed. As a woman, she was afraid that she would have to drain half of her blood to wake the Gu, but by then she would be close to death.
Bazhu hummed his lips and looked at the Gu worm in the wooden basin in surprise. This Gu worm was extremely rare and a priceless treasure, but the one in Fengze's hand was actually a king Gu. He was indeed a person in the royal court and had great wealth.
After pouring about half a basin of blood, Feng Ze called a halt. She looked down at the insect, which had turned completely white, nodded, and then bit her index finger with her teeth and dripped a few drops of blood onto the insect.
The insect that had swallowed Feng Ze shook its body for a few times, and a trace of red appeared on its white body. Seeing this, Feng Ze reached out his hand to grab the insect in the wooden basin. The insect, wrapped in the familiar breath, lay docilely in Feng Ze's palm and did not move.
She came to Shen Luli's bed, looked at the beauty whose face was almost transparent, reached out and cut his wrist, and put the insect in. Shen Luli immediately let out a painful cry, and people's hearts trembled when they heard it.
Feng Ze helped the man up, then sat cross-legged behind him, using his skills to push against his back. He glanced at Bazhu, who was shaking a little, and whispered, "Stop everyone outside. Now is the critical moment to save him. No one is allowed to disturb him."
"Okay," Bazhu nodded, silently wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just as he was about to leave, Feng Ze stopped him and said, "There are a few Qi and Blood Pills in my bag. Take them and restore your strength."
After the others took it away, Feng Ze then focused on guiding the poisonous insects in his body to devour the areas that were severely eroded by the toxins.
Kyoto
The imperial concubine smashed the fine porcelain in front of her, and fell on the bed with grief, covering her face and crying. The female official came to her side and comforted her softly.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is blessed with good fortune. Perhaps the guards we sent out will find His Royal Highness soon. Don't worry, be careful not to hurt yourself. He will be very worried when he returns!"
"My son is naturally blessed, but His Majesty did not care about the prince's disappearance after hearing about it. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. But His Majesty, fearing that the prince will inherit his throne, pushed him into the fire pit!" The Imperial Concubine raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, be careful with your words!" The court lady immediately knelt down, raised her head and whispered, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
"Hmph, what's so scary about me! After sleeping with him for more than ten years, I never saw through that he was such a vicious man!" The imperial concubine stood up, paced back and forth several times, and said angrily with a wave of her sleeves.
"Since Your Majesty is unkind, please do not blame me for being unjust."
The female official lay on the ground, and after listening to the vicious words whispered by the imperial concubine, her heart skipped a beat.
Another half month passed
Chu Xin secretly returned to Kyoto. Five days later, Prince Jing's army arrived at the city gates. At the same time, Prince Jing also rode his horse forward at the forefront, and beside him were several other princes who had been crowned as kings. They looked at the prosperous Kyoto with high spirits and were filled with emotion.
With a hundred thousand troops approaching the city, the atmosphere in Kyoto was unprecedentedly solemn. All the people stayed indoors, and everyone in the palace was also in a state of panic. Several elderly ministers stood anxiously outside the Yongtai Palace, staring at the tightly closed door.
At this time, the door of the room opened, and the imperial concubine came out with an empty medicine bowl in her hand. She staggered and nodded to the ministers. The ministers did not care about the etiquette and hierarchy. The left minister stroked his gray beard and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, how is His Majesty? Has he regained consciousness?"
The imperial concubine glanced at her right hand obscurely, sobbing and shaking her head.
Seeing this, several ministers looked at each other and were very dejected.
"At this critical moment, His Majesty is seriously ill and bedridden, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still missing. If we really let that Prince Jing seize the throne, then we will be ashamed of our ancestors and the late emperor's cultivation of us," said the Grand Tutor with a worried look on his face.
"Right Prime Minister, is there any news about His Highness?" The Left Prime Minister shook his head and turned to look at the Right Prime Minister who had not spoken.
The right minister's eyes flickered, he sighed, and shook his head.
Seeing that Chu Yanting would not wake up today, several ministers had no choice but to bow and leave. Looking at their hurried steps, I am afraid they must be very anxious.
The Imperial Concubine handed the empty medicine bowl to the eunuch beside her and returned to the palace.
She walked into the inner room and looked indifferently at Chu Yanting, who was lying on the bed with a pale face. After taking the medicine for so many days, he finally fell ill from the poison.
She had fed him so much poison in the past few days, and soon the emperor would pass away. By then, she would accompany him and leave the prince with a good reputation, which would be a worthwhile life.
The Queen sat beside her, grinning foolishly. The Imperial Noble Consort glanced at her, comparing herself to the Queen as if in a mirror, and found that her situation was exactly the same as the Queen's. She laughed foolishly.
"Others have advised me to leave myself a way out, but I have always coveted your Majesty's kindness, not knowing that your Majesty's treatment of me is not kindness but exploitation. Now that I have come to my senses, it is not too late. The only thing I will suffer is death."
She sat alone in the palace, beside the foolish queen, on the bed was the unconscious emperor, the palace was filled with fragrance, and her delicate eyebrows were full of fatigue...
On the other side, Chu Xin stood on the city wall with his hood on, looking out at the dark army outside the city, pursing his lips and saying nothing.
Jian Can stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the army in the distance and whistling, "What a grand spectacle! Chu Xiao has mobilized so many private soldiers. I'm afraid he must have already gone bankrupt."
"With the daughter of a king of a different surname in Mingzhou as his princess and General Zhenyuan as his backing, he should not be short of troops." Chu Xin shook his head.
