"Now, I am finally in your home?"
Duan Rongshi did not respond to his deliberately flattering topic.
He simply asked with a straight face, "Have you sought out a Miao witch to examine the poison in your body over the years?"
The King of Chu looked embarrassed. "Rong Shi, my uncle is afraid of ropes after being bitten once. Forget asking a witch to treat my illness. Even if you ask me to destroy the entire Miao region, I don't want to get involved."
"Even though I hate it to death, the poison controls me and makes me bully the weak and fear the strong. Every time I have to make a critical decision, an uncontrollable fear will surge in my heart, and I will eventually be unable to make a decision."
"So, after the Saint left, I never saw any other witch again."
"Is my uncle useless?"
Duan Rongshi really wanted to say "yes".
But when I think about the fact that he became like this, it was because of the backlash after swallowing his mother's poisonous insect.
So, I couldn't utter this word for a long time.
After a long while, he spoke again in a cold voice, "While you were unconscious, I had the Miao witch, Sect Leader Jinhua, personally take your pulse and examine the poison in your body."
"What you said is indeed true."
"Your poison has long since penetrated deep into your bones and blood. For years, two of these insects have been wreaking havoc within your body, and now one has entered your heart."
"The other one is entrenched in your skull."
"That's why you have frequent headaches, are manic and irritable, and like to kill people."
"As for why both King Qin and Zulia died, but you didn't get implicated and die, Jinhuan theorized that the so-called mother Gu in their hands might have been a lie from the beginning."
Zong Zhenglangri: "What did you say?"
"They deceived me?"
Duan Rongshi: "For someone as vicious as them who always leaves a way out for themselves, this is indeed possible."
"They won't risk taking the mother poison themselves."
"But as long as you lie and claim that the mother Gu is in them, you won't dare to take their lives easily, and you might even be controlled by them."
"Haven't you not touched even a hair of the King of Qin in all these years?"
Zong Zheng Langri's face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.
"Yes... yes. It was because my uncle was useless that he fell into the trap of the treacherous people and was fooled by their schemes. Over the years... I have let down the country and its people."
Duan Rongshi frowned in disgust: "The Great Chu is indeed devastated because of you."
"Now, anyone who sends troops to the Western Regions and Daliang can easily seize your kingdom, swallow up your mountains and rivers, and suppress your throne."
"No one has made any rash moves yet. They are just watching each other."
"If anyone starts a war, the entire Chu State will be devastated and destroyed because of your cowardice and incompetence."
"You have failed to protect your kingdom, and instead you have been killing innocent people day in and day out, indulging in bloodlust and drinking for pleasure."
"You are indeed the eternal sinner of the Great Chu."
Zong Zheng Langri lowered his head as he listened.
If it were based on his previous temper, he would have been furious by now. Even if he couldn't kill Duan Rongshi, he would never let him off easily.
At least show your anger and majesty violently.
But now, he was being scolded with his head down like a quail.
The strange thing is that ever since Duan Rongshi revealed his true face and identity, he couldn't feel any anger towards his nephew at all.
Because when he saw this face, he felt as if he really saw the moon!
How could he get angry at Yue'er's face?
He didn't even dare to show the slightest bit of anger.
Because he doesn't deserve it.
Unwilling.
I don’t want to either.
Over the past decade, my heart has never been so peaceful and calm.
Seeing him like this, Li Qingluo, who was waiting outside the door and eavesdropping, was stunned.
Is this still the bloodthirsty Emperor of Chu?
Is this still the tyrant that everyone wants to kill on sight?
Seeing him like this, Duan Rongshi was filled with anger: "Have you never thought about how to save your kingdom?"
"Even if I don't kill you now, I hope you can turn over a new leaf and reform yourself!"
"I will have Sect Leader Jinhua do his best to suppress the poison for you, and I will also send people to find a way to break the poison in your body."
"But I hope that from now on you can pull yourself together and stop being a tyrant controlled by two worms!"
"If you can't do it, or if you kill people at will again, I will kill you myself!"
"If you let your prince ascend the throne, perhaps he will consider how to save the people of Great Chu from the suffering of war and national destruction!"
After saying this, Duan Rongshi flicked his sleeves and strode out.
Zong Zheng Langri hurriedly called out to him, "Rong Shi!"
"Uncle knows he was wrong."
"Whatever you say is fine."
"Whatever you say, uncle will do it."
"Uncle changes it. Uncle changes everything."
"My uncle will do his utmost to make up for the mistakes he made in the past and will do his utmost to reform himself."
"Rong Shi, thank you... Thank you for being willing to show some mercy and give my uncle this chance."
Duan Rongshi walked out of the door without even pausing.
Then he slammed the door shut with a bang.
