Chapter 683 Facing Doubts
The Gu King, which was stained with Gu Yanxing's blood, suddenly bounced up from He Fanxiong's hand, drew a golden light in the air, and rushed straight to Gu Yanchen's face!
"Be careful!" Gu Yanchen drew his sword to block, but saw that the stimulated Gu King suddenly turned in mid-air, avoiding the sword, opening his poisonous jaws and heading straight for He Fanxiong's throat.
At the critical moment, Ran Qingxuan had an idea and poured the remaining blood on her hand into a fish tank in the space.
At the same time, her mind moved slightly, and just when the Gu King was about to bite He Fanxiong, she controlled him to enter the space, and the Gu King then fell directly into the fish tank filled with Gu Yanxing's blood.
"What's it like inside?" Gu Yanjing asked in a low voice as he helped the man approach the palace entrance.
Ran Qingxuan closed his eyes and sensed the situation in the space. After a moment, he opened his eyes and let out a long sigh: "The Gu King calmed down after coming into contact with the blood, but it is neither dead nor able to hurt anyone. Now it is trapped in the fish tank and cannot move."
After hearing that the poisonous insect had calmed down, He Fanxiong slumped down on the imperial couch, feeling relieved, and the tip of his right index finger had been eaten away.
The hall was filled with a faint smell of blood. Due to her sensitive senses after pregnancy, Ran Qingxuan endured the discomfort of morning sickness and bandaged He Fanxiong's fingertips that were bitten by the Gu King.
"Thank you all for saving me just now." He Fanxiong said weakly, his eyes full of gratitude.
"If it weren't for you, I would have died today."
After all, even he himself did not expect that the Gu King, who seemed to be very docile to him, would suddenly attack him because of the lack of fresh flesh and blood.
Gu Yanchen put away his sword and looked at him with a complicated expression: "Although the Gu King has been temporarily controlled, there is no guarantee that there will not be other changes in the Blue Rain Court.
Mr. He, what are your plans next? ”
He Fanxiong held his injured hand and looked out the window at the trees that were glowing with life. "Ballanhe is dead. The Blue Rain Kingdom cannot continue to be in chaos. I must contact capable officials as soon as possible to assist the new crown prince to ascend the throne."
Because of the pain, He Fanxiong leaned weakly on the edge of the imperial bed, but there was a strange light flashing in his eyes.
After hesitating for a while, he slowly said: "Mr. Gu, I have an unwelcome request..."
Gu Yanchen frowned and took a half step forward, pulling his wife behind him to protect her: "Mr. He, you can talk as you please, but my wife is pregnant, I'm afraid..."
Perhaps because he anticipated what He Fanxiong wanted to ask for, Gu Yanchen was still somewhat reluctant from the bottom of his heart.
After all, if Ran Qingxuan hadn't reacted quickly, the Gu King would have taken her life...
"Don't worry, husband."
Ran Qingxuan gently tugged at his sleeve and gave him a soothing look.
When he turned to He Fanxiong, his expression was respectful yet sharp.
"Mr. He, why don't you tell me what it is first?"
He Fanxiong's eyes moved between the couple, and he smiled with a pale face: "Mr. Gu is eager to protect his wife, and I understand."
After saying that, he stood up with difficulty and said to the two of them: "Qingtuo is now in the Divine Doctor Sect. I really don't feel comfortable arranging Lan Yu's people to go there. Besides, ordinary people can't find the Divine Doctor Sect, so..."
Upon hearing what he meant, Gu Yanjing frowned and said, "The situation in Blue Rain is unstable right now. As Northern Qi people, we have no right to interfere..."
"It doesn't matter whether you interfere or not..." He Fanxiong suddenly grabbed Ran Qingxuan's wrist with amazing force.
"Although Balanch is dead, his followers are still lurking in the court. I have been exposed to their sight, which means that my family will be exposed sooner or later. If I let them know that I want to take Qingtuo back..."
Gu Yanchen walked forward with anger on his face and pulled He Fanxiong's hand away. After Ran Qingxuan was pulled out, he could still feel the trembling coming from his palm.
"I understand your concerns. It was us who persuaded you to come to Blue Rain. Now that we have rescued you, we will naturally not leave you alone."
Gu Yanchen had a complicated look on his face, and Gu Yanxing seemed to have realized that it was because of his rescue that his brother and sister-in-law had to help He Fanxiong...
Just as he was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.
The young eunuch who was temporarily serving He Fanxiong stood at the door of the palace and delivered the message in a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, Lord Sima, Lord Han, and the minister who was rescued this morning are outside asking for an audience!"
He Fanxiong lowered his eyes and said to the outside: "Let them in."
Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan exchanged glances and retreated to the side with their families. Kang Jun and others watched the whole process and stood silently by without saying a word.
Noticing that He Fanxiong was a little weak due to blood loss, Ran Qingxuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill that smelled like medicine and handed it to He Fanxiong.
"This is a refreshing pill made by Master Qingqing. It can effectively relieve pain."
In fact, it was just made by her using modern medicine, but she said that just to reassure He Fanxiong.
He Fanxiong took it and swallowed it gratefully, and his face quickly regained some color.
Just as he was adjusting his clothes, the palace door was pushed open from the outside, and more than a dozen officials dressed in Lan Yu official uniforms entered one after another.
The leader was Prime Minister Sima Hui. Although he had gotten rid of the worries in his heart for many years, there was still a sharp edge in his gentle face.
Han Yi, who was standing beside him, had his right eye covered with a blood-stained cloth, and his remaining left eye was burning with terrifying anger when he saw Gu Yanxing sitting next to him.
"His Majesty!"
Han Yi didn't wait for Sima Hui to speak, he just knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse as a knife scraping against iron.
"I would like to ask why the Gu King in Balanch's hand awakened, and why did you release the Northern Qi general and even let him stay in the same room with you?"
Several people seemed to have realized that He Fanxiong's main purpose was not to release those court officials.
Sima Hui wanted to stop him but couldn't. He coughed lightly and added in a seemingly respectful but in fact tentative manner: "Old ministers like me are also worried about state affairs. I hope Your Majesty can help me solve my doubts."
Ran Qingxuan noticed that He Fanxiong's hands behind his back were shaking slightly, but his face remained dignified.
"Is General Han's injury better?"
Han Yi raised his head suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his one eye, and then was replaced by suspicion: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but why did Your Majesty avoid talking about what I asked?"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Ran Qingxuan saw that Gu Yanchen's hand was on the hilt of the sword, while Gu Yanjing quietly moved to Sima Hui's side.
She gently touched the medicine powder in the secret pocket on her waist, ready to take action at any time.
"Han Yi!" Sima Hui suddenly shouted.
"Watch your words and don't forget who you are!"
"Why does the Prime Minister have to pretend to be confused?" Han Yi stood up with a grim smile and pulled off the blindfold, revealing his bloody eye sockets.
At this point, Han Yi suddenly stood up and pointed at He Fanxiong: "When the Gu King went crazy that day, I clearly saw the golden light of the Gu insect's backlash flashing in this 'Your Majesty's' eyes!"
"This 'Your Majesty' has clearly been poisoned and is being controlled. You are blind, but I am not."
Seeing that Gu Yanxing was indeed safe and sound, several ministers took a few steps back in fear and panic.
