Chapter 467
"Have you all gone mute? If His Majesty's health is harmed in any way, I will exterminate your entire family."
The imperial physicians were deathly pale, and they kowtowed to the ground, begging, "Your Highness, spare our lives!"
Before the Regent could say anything more, Wen Xin gently took his hand.
He stiffened slightly, gently squeezed her small hand, and said in a soft and gentle voice, "Your Majesty will be alright, trust me."
Wen Xin noticed the unease in his eyes and felt a pang of regret; she shouldn't have pretended to be sick.
Oh no, she wasn't pretending; she really choked.
The main problem is that these imperial physicians are too good at making a scene!
"Your Highness, I'm fine, don't worry."
"Yes, His Majesty is alright."
"..."
They clearly don't believe it!
It seems like things are getting out of hand?
Ah, she just wanted to pretend to be sick so she wouldn't have to attend court.
At this moment, Yue Wu walked in with a refined young man dressed in a moon-white robe.
The two knelt down to pay their respects to the emperor and the regent.
"No need for formalities, Yueqi, come quickly and let His Majesty take a look."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Wen Xin didn't know how to explain herself anymore, and felt incredibly guilty.
If the Regent knew she was faking illness, would he be so angry that he would beat her up?
Okay, she's Her Majesty, he won't.
But if His Highness gets angry and ignores her, who will she cry to?
Serves you right for taking advantage! Serves you right for taking advantage! Now you're getting your comeuppance!
Wen Xin was filled with regret. She should have just gone to court early. She could have gone to bed earlier anyway. After all, she was just a little empress and shouldn't have any nightlife.
Oops~ We're about to be exposed, we're doomed!
While Wen Xin was filled with fear, Yue Qi was taking her pulse, his expression growing increasingly grave.
Wen Xin: Hmm? ? ?
Could it be that she really has some serious illness, or is it just a fluke?
There doesn't seem to be anything like that in the script or with the soul fragments.
I'm terrified! Sure enough, there are treacherous people everywhere trying to harm me.
The regent's expression grew increasingly grim, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the little empress.
After a long while, Yueqi moved her hand away, and just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by a look from the Regent.
Wen Xin looked up at the Regent, "Your Highness, let Yue Qi speak, I want to know."
The Regent's eyes flickered. "Your Majesty..."
Wen Xin spoke calmly, "Do I need to know what's wrong with my health? Your Highness, well-intentioned concealment isn't always for my own good."
The Regent succumbed to her calm gaze. He closed his eyes briefly. "Yueqi, speak."
Yueqi looked at the subtle atmosphere between her master and the little empress with a complicated expression.
Your Highness is addressing His Majesty...
No wonder His Highness has been so distracted these days, spending long periods of time silently outside the Chaohuang Palace every day.
I see.
But how can this be allowed?
The issue between them isn't just about their social status, but also...
But the Moon Shadow Guards always put their master first. No matter what their master does, they will follow him to the death and will never question him.
Yueqi suppressed her worries and said in a deep voice, "His Majesty has been afflicted by the Butterfly Charm."
Butterfly Induced is a very strange poison. Those poisoned by it show no symptoms except for sexual intercourse.
If a man is poisoned by this drug, he can impregnate a woman in one sexual encounter, but he will also die immediately after the encounter.
If a woman is poisoned by this, intercourse will not be fatal, but she will become pregnant, and her death will come after childbirth.
Wen Xin: "!!!???"
What kind of bizarre poison is this?
What are the scientific principles behind drug production?
Yueqi said that this poison was developed a long time ago by a pair of poison doctors who could not conceive, in order to leave offspring.
Wen Xin: "..."
Wow, they're risking their lives to have a baby!
The state should award them a prestigious childbirth award to recognize their outstanding contributions to increasing the newborn population...
Haha, trading one life for another, what kind of population growth is that!
Moreover, since the child was born by stepping on the lives of his parents, did that stupid couple ever consider the trauma this would cause the child?
Do you know how difficult it is to be a child without parents or from a single-parent family?
Oh wait, which idiot gave me this stupid poison?
Come here, drag him out and behead him for me!
Little Gold looked up at the sky speechlessly: Master, you've been poisoned!
Shouldn't you be thinking about how to detoxify now?
What kind of behavior is it to be thinking of killing someone?
Master, please don't give yourself the persona of a tyrant!
The Regent exuded an almost overwhelming aura of bloodlust and murderous intent.
He asked Yue Qi, his voice filled with murderous intent, "How do you want to resolve this?"
Looking at her master like this, Yueqi couldn't help but feel fear. "This... I am useless and have no ability to cure Your Majesty's poison."
The technique of using the Butterfly Poison has long been lost. If he hadn't studied under the Strange Doctor of Tianshan and seen a record of this poison in his master's notes, he, like the imperial physicians, would have been unable to diagnose His Majesty's poisoning.
But who exactly poisoned His Majesty?
How did you obtain the butterfly charm?
The regent's eyes were filled with a deep sense of malice. Just as he was about to say something, a soft, gentle hand gently stroked the back of his hand.
He gasped for breath, then looked down at the quiet, obedient girl in his arms, his eyes filled with heartache and resentment.
Her hatred for those who dared to plot against and harm her.
He squeezed her small hand back, "It will be alright, Your Majesty. I will definitely find a way to detoxify you, I promise."
The young empress smiled softly at him, "Yes, I believe Your Highness. But don't worry, Your Highness, I'm perfectly fine now."
Although this poison doesn't care about eugenics, as long as she's not pregnant, she'll be perfectly healthy and live a normal life.
Moreover, she is only fourteen years old now, and it will be a long time before she is old enough to have a baby.
Okay, even if Fengyuan girls can get married and have children at fifteen, Wenxin said that she herself would have to be eighteen at the earliest, otherwise she really couldn't get over the mental hurdle, and it would also be bad for her health.
Therefore, there is still plenty of time to slowly find a cure.
If she really can't find one, then she won't have any more children.
Although it would cause many problems for a monarch to have no descendants, these problems are not insurmountable.
Wen Xin also admitted that she didn't have that kind of dedication, risking her life to have a baby. Besides, if you're only responsible for giving birth, why harm the child?
The Regent gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips, full of tenderness.
He would never let any fool who hurt her get away with it, and he would never let anything happen to her.
The Regent looked at Yue Qi, his cold and terrifying gaze making Yue Qi's heart pound and cold sweat bead on his forehead. "Find the antidote at all costs."
Yue Qi quickly accepted the order, "Yes."
Immediately, the Regent transmitted his voice to Yue Wu: "Take Liang Rong to the dark dungeon and interrogate her severely."
The Empress died after giving birth to her heir, and the biggest beneficiaries of this event were the Regent and the Liang family.
But he could never hurt her.
Previously, under his protection, only the Liang family was capable of poisoning the young empress.
The Liang family?
Ha, what a clever scheme!
