Chapter 103: Suffering the consequences
Concubine Yu was extremely weak, perfectly illustrating what it meant to be fragile, and her clothes felt hollow on her body.
Shen Tingyu suspected that even without the wind, she could fall down just by walking.
She stepped forward to support her and said in a softer voice, "Be careful!"
The moment she touched her arm, Shen Tingyu shuddered suddenly. She felt as if she had touched a piece of fleshless bone, and the touch was extremely terrifying.
If it weren't for the skin still having body temperature, she really doubted whether this was still a human body.
Shen Tingyu helped Concubine Yu back to bed.
Xin Hongying asked Gao Tang: "What's going on?"
A person he was familiar with suddenly became extremely thin within a few months, as if all his blood, flesh and energy had been sucked out, which was terrifying to see.
Suddenly, Concubine Yu's bony hand grabbed his arm forcefully.
Tears welled up in her eyes. "Your Majesty, this is all my fault."
"But the child is innocent. You must save him. He is your future...nephew or niece!"
The child’s father is really the emperor’s younger brother!
Xin Hongying's eyes dimmed slightly.
The parasite in his body had fallen into a deep sleep, and he could easily separate his emotions from this matter.
He had known about this matter in advance, and what happened before his eyes shocked him even more.
Therefore, there was not much turmoil in my heart.
Bai Feng placed his slender fingers on her wrist to feel her pulse.
The more I probed, the more frightened I became. Her pulse was very weak, as if it would stop at any moment.
Bai Feng exclaimed, his eyes filled with excitement. "This is amazing! The fetus can actually fight the Gu insect to a draw, and it seems to be able to resist."
"The baby in your belly is fine. Its pulse is steady and healthy."
"It's just... in order to survive, both the child and the mother Gu need the mother's nutrition, so the mother is being attacked."
"If the poison is not removed or an abortion is not performed in time, the mother will die the day the fetus is aborted."
"You are a Gu Master!"
Concubine Yu spoke weakly, looking at her with hopeful eyes: "I beg you, please help me and save this child."
Shen Tingyu was stunned. Does Concubine Yu still want to keep this fetus?
She retracted her supporting hand, and her eyes involuntarily fell on her slightly plump belly.
Suddenly I remembered that during the hunting in the original novel, Concubine Yu was injured in the abdomen while saving the tyrant.
In other words, this child had already been aborted in the original book!
"What a pity!" Bai Feng suddenly said, his face full of heartache and reluctance, not knowing what he was regretting.
Are you feeling sorry for the fetus or the mother?
Or it could be a fetus that can suppress the poisonous insect!
"Where is the introduction I need?" Xin Hongying reminded from the side, her low voice calm but with a hint of alienation.
He did not forget the main purpose of returning to Beijing, which was to get rid of the poison.
"What's the rush?"
Bai Feng placed his hand gently on Concubine Yu's belly, narrowed his eyes, and stroked it carefully.
The Gu Master's eyes showed his cherishment and excitement for the Gu worm, as if what was under his palm was not a fetus, but a Gu worm.
"After I peel off the mother insect, I'll have it."
When Bai Feng talked about his strengths, his words became more intensive.
"It's not difficult to lure out the Gu worm, but it's extremely difficult to remove it without hurting the fetus. Even I'm not completely sure."
"There's no time to lose, it's best to peel it off immediately."
"I need stone letter, poisonous scorpion tail... and so on. Find all these things quickly."
"It will take a lot of concentration for me to remove the poison, so all of you should leave."
Bang!
Shen Tingyu and Xin Hongying were kicked out of the room and stood there looking at each other.
"After taking out the mother Gu clone, Your Majesty, how will you deal with Concubine Yu?" Shen Tingyu shook his body and asked casually.
She felt sorry for Concubine Yu when she saw her miserable condition today, but she was not qualified to make any comments.
This is an old grudge between Your Majesty and Concubine Yu.
Xin Hongying turned his head to look at the door behind him, walked a few steps away, and stood with his hands behind his back.
Then he whispered, "I don't know either, but after seeing her suffer the consequences today, I don't hate her that much anymore."
"But I will never forgive her for this. I will never forget the betrayal she and my mother committed against me."
Xin Hongying's voice sounded somewhat fierce, with a hint of suppressed anger.
Hearing this, Shen Tingyu was sure that the tyrant would not kill Concubine Yu.
If they wanted to kill, they wouldn't say anything, they would just kill without any explanation.
What's more, Concubine Yu was pregnant, so it was even less likely for him to kill her.
Shen Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, she didn’t hate Concubine Yu.
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. After Zi Gu fell asleep, he was no longer affected by the insect and revealed his true inner thoughts.
It seems that the tyrant values friendship far more than he imagined.
There is only a small difference between a tyrant and a wise ruler. It seems that she is not far from completing her mission!
Time passed by minute by minute during the chat, and Shen Tingyu felt that she was like her husband anxiously waiting outside the delivery room.
…
Deep in the palace, the Empress Dowager’s Weiyang Palace.
The Queen Mother walked out from a dark room on the side, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air as she walked.
The palace maid beside her was holding a basin of clear water and standing quietly in front of her.
The Queen Mother washed her hands and sighed softly, "Failed again."
Hearing the empress dowager's sigh, the palace maid's body trembled, her eyes lowered to the back of her feet, and she was too scared to look up.
"Queen Mother, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened."
A somewhat old nanny hurried in, leaned close to the empress dowager's ear, and whispered a few words anxiously.
The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, and she sneered, "The Emperor actually returned to the palace safely! He's quite lucky."
She threw the white cloth she used to wash her hands in anger, and the blood-stained white cloth hit the palace maid's face.
The maid's cheek was hit and her mouth was crooked. She wrinkled her face subconsciously, knelt on the ground with a thud, and her body shook like a sieve.
"No wonder my people couldn't find him after searching for so long. He's actually hiding in Yunzhou City."
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled, "Who has the emperor met since returning to the palace?"
The nanny said in a respectful and pointed tone, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not meeting anyone, nor has he taken the initiative to meet anyone."
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly, "According to what you said, the Emperor is suspicious. It's also true that the Zi Gu is not yet fully mature."
"He left Concubine Yu and Aijia again. Without comfort, they will definitely find out."
The Queen Mother smiled, but a hint of anger and hatred flashed across her face. "I didn't expect that after such a long period of defense, it would still be discovered, and even just when the spawning insect was about to mature."
"What bad luck!" The Queen Mother was extremely upset. She always felt that the Emperor had been acting a little strangely recently.
She had a bad feeling in her heart, and this ominous feeling made her cautious.
Start thinking back, when did this change begin?
It’s the national teacher!
The empress dowager's eyes narrowed. Ever since the imperial tutor who despised her suddenly appeared, His Majesty had lost interest in Concubine Yu.
