Chapter 266: Bug Man
"Oh."
[Okay, I will show the video to the emperor now.]
As Chu Qinshu spoke, she slapped a 'consciousness projection symbol' on Emperor Yongping's forehead.
Xiao Hulu opened the videos that he had already captured and had Chu Chengyi sorted one by one.
It took me almost an hour to finish watching all the videos.
When Emperor Yongping woke up, his face was filled with anger and disappointment.
The story of Prince Ning’s treasure hunt was indeed true.
Those people in the martial arts world are not weak in martial arts, and their ambitions are really big.
It seems that Prince Ning, who had never been favored by Concubine Xian since childhood, was...misjudged by him this time.
Honest? That's just the mask of Prince Ning.
Prince Ning never wanted his position; what he wanted was the entire Changxing Continent.
"Oh."
[Your Majesty, please don't be unhappy. The Second Emperor has been searching for the treasure for so long but to no avail. Perhaps the treasure doesn't even exist.]
Chu Qinshu’s idea was simple. She wanted Emperor Yongping to come forward and dissuade Prince Ning from the idea of treasure hunting.
Then, he will be confined to his home for another three to five years.
You absolutely cannot go to the fiefdom. If you go there, King Ning will probably plunder the people's wealth and continue his treasure hunt.
As long as Prince Ning doesn't go out and wander around, those so-called people in the martial arts world won't be able to find the treasure, and they may not be able to find him either.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Hu Liang's men have not leaked any information about Prince Ning to the outside world.
As long as no one in the martial arts world is looking for Prince Ning, Sheng Anguo will be safe.
After three to five years, this matter will fade away.
The five countries of Changxing mainland will remain the same as before. As long as they maintain the previous balance, they will be able to maintain long-term stability.
As for asking Emperor Yongping to punish Prince Ning, Chu Qinshu's identity was not suitable for her to say this.
"Yes, Shu'er is right. It was just a legend. I don't know whose lies your uncle believed that he dared to look for it."
Emperor Yongping also agreed with Chu Qinshu's statement.
If he believed that the Zhang family had a treasure, he would not have given the painting to Chu Chengyi so easily.
Chu Qinshu: "......"
Didn't the Queen Mother say this? The Queen Mother personally handed the treasure map to Matthew Li, and Concubine Xian was also present.
However, Chu Qinshu forgot whether Emperor Yongping had seen this video.
"Oh."
[This girl doesn't know what to do. ]
Chu Qinshu did not intend to remind Emperor Yongping.
Although it was the Queen Mother who told the story of the treasure, no one could tell whether it was true or not.
If something has been passed down for so many generations and still cannot be found, the possibility of it being fake is very high.
There is no need to emphasize who said it.
I just don’t know what Prince Ning was thinking when he wanted to replace Matthew Li’s painting.
"Hahahaha, Your Majesty is just speaking casually. Shu'er naturally doesn't know what it means."
He was not surprised that Chu Qinshu didn't know what Emperor Yongping himself didn't know.
In the end, he still hasn't figured out how to deal with this matter.
But he did not intend to continue to dwell on this matter, and would ask Yu Jinming and Su Pengxin to discuss it tomorrow.
In the dark cell, Long Wei was about to give water to the queen.
But as soon as she opened the door of the secret cell, she noticed something was wrong.
There is a lot more anger in this cell.
Obviously, only the Queen was imprisoned, so how come there was someone else's presence?
After lighting the lamp on the wall, Long Wei discovered that the emperor on the rack was no longer a "human".
To be precise, the man on the rack has turned into a 'bug man'.
"Go call the leader."
Long Wei quickly went out and asked someone to call for help.
She slowly approached the rack to see if the queen was still alive.
But at this time, the queen was covered with unknown small insects from head to toe, but she did not move at all.
If the secret cell had not been guarded by their Dragon Guards, she would have suspected that the Queen had been replaced by someone else.
The queen was clearly still alive, so how could she be attacked by insects and not react at all?
"What happened?"
Chu Wei came quickly, and as he arrived at the cell door, his brows furrowed.
"Don't get close to these bugs. The queen has bugs on her body."
As soon as Chu Wei reminded him, Long Wei, who was originally in the cell, quickly got out of the cell.
Cicada? She didn't want to be bitten by a cicada. She would be poisoned by it.
"Chief, those bugs are all on the Queen's body. They are not on the ground. I have not found the source of those bugs."
Long Wei just looked around the cell and there was not a single one on the ground.
There were rats, ants, and maybe even snakes in the cell, but this was the first time she had seen such insects.
"Just stay here and don't go in again."
Chu Wei observed and came to the same conclusion as Long Wei's subordinate.
This kind of bug has never appeared in the secret prison, so it can only have come from the queen.
He knew that there were insects growing on the Queen's body.
Feeding the insects with one's own body is a common method used by people who are under the control of the insects in order to better control them.
If he guessed correctly, the Queen must have suffered a backlash for being in this state.
Has the parasite in the emperor's body been dealt with?
Thinking of this, Chu Wei quickened his pace to leave the dark prison.
He had to report this to the Emperor.
Half a minute later, Chu Wei appeared in the bedroom of Emperor Yongping in Anren Palace.
"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the Queen. Are you feeling unwell?"
Most of the time, Chu Wei would personally protect Emperor Yongping in secret, but he could not hear Chu Qinshu's voice.
So he didn't know that Emperor Yongping had already taken the antidote.
"I am not feeling unwell, what is wrong with the Queen?"
Emperor Yongping was sitting beside Chu Qinshu's rocking bed, coaxing her to sleep.
Chu Wei came in without even raising his head.
"The Queen..."
Chu Wei described what he saw to Emperor Yongping, hoping to gauge the emperor's will on how to deal with the empress.
"So, is this a backlash? Are you sure it's still the Queen herself?"
Emperor Yongping had never seen a dragonfly attack before, so he was a little uncertain.
"In reply to Your Majesty, it was indeed the Queen herself."
Chu Wei was very confident in his abilities, and he also trusted his subordinates to arrange for people to guard the secret prison.
It would never happen that a prisoner could be kidnapped from the dark cell under the nose of Long Wei.
"How is the Imperial Master now?"
Emperor Yongping remembered that Chu Qinshu had said that it was the Imperial Preceptor who bewitched the Empress. He wondered if the Imperial Preceptor would suffer the same backlash.
"In reply to the emperor, the Imperial Master is not unusual for the time being."
Chu Wei left the Queen's cell and took a look at the Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor's bald head had grown into a ball of hair and had long since become dull and lifeless.
In addition, he has become extremely thin.
But he didn't have the same bugs as the queen.
Chu Qinshu, who was not asleep yet, became alert when she heard Chu Wei's words and spoke quickly, "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ..."
[Your Majesty, after the young dragonfly in your body was absorbed, the female dragonfly in the Queen's body died.]
[But before the mother pig died, she had already laid a large number of eggs in her blood. After the mother pig died, she turned into blood, and the blood vessels through which the blood flowed would hatch those eggs.]
[The Queen's entire body, from inside to outside, has probably been eaten away by insects. This is the revenge of the bewitching insect on the person who bewitched her.]
Although Chu Qinshu was happy that the queen had become queen, she still shuddered inadvertently when she said this.
Emperor Yongping: "......"
Sounds so creepy...
