As Bai Zhanke continued to channel Qi, Hua Mujin's body also started to get warmer.
However, the warmer her body became, the more the Gu worm that she had been suppressing began to move.
Seeing this opportunity, Luo Xue began to feed the medicine Hua Mujin had made for her. After the medicine was fed to her, Luo Xue frowned and shouted, "Hurry up and channel your internal energy, this is still not enough!"
Bai Zhanke gathered all of the internal energy on his body into his hands, and then transferred them all into Hua Mujin's body.
Suddenly, the blood in Hua Mujin's body seemed to boil, and white smoke emitted from her body. At this moment, even her skin had started to heat up, and it was so hot that it was scary.
"Puff …"
Suddenly, Hua Mujin spouted out a mouthful of black blood, the black blood on the bed slowly spreading out like a flower blooming.
Seeing that, Luo Xue started to panic, she immediately took out a small blade she had prepared earlier and cut a wound on Hua Mujin's wrist.
In an instant, a lot of black blood flowed out of Hua Mujin's veins.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Zhanke opened his eyes, just in time to see Luo Xue cutting Hua Mujin's wrist, his body instantly releasing killing intent.
"Shut up! To properly lose your Qi, the blood that has been tainted by the Gu worm has started to stink. We need to release the poisoned blood and change it to fresh blood. "
As he spoke, Falling Snow took out an iron basin and placed it under Hua Mujin's wrist.
The blood, like a stream, began to flow into the basin.
When the blood that dripped from the wound was no longer black, Luo Xue suddenly picked up her dagger and cut a wound on her wrist. Then, she placed her own cut off hand on Hua Mujin's wrist.
Falling Snow gritted her teeth. She could feel that the blood in her body was flowing into Hua Mujin's body bit by bit.
This feeling was indescribable.
"Puff …"
After an hour, she spat out the Gu worm in Hua Mujin's body.
The Gu worm that was as black as a cockroach caused people to be disgusted, after being vomited out of their body, it moved twice and there was no reaction.
Looking at the Gu worm that was vomited, Luo Xue let out a sigh of relief. She fed Hua Mujin a hemostasis pill, swallowed one for herself, and fainted.
That's right, the snow had lost too much blood, and he had fainted.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
After consuming the antidote, Hua Mujin coughed a few times, but in the end, she still did not wake up, and was still unconscious.
Bai Zhanke retracted his hand, and gently laid Hua Mujin down on the bed, and then shouted: "Shangguan Yi."
Outside the house, after Shangguan Yi, who had always been anxious, heard Bai Zhanke's voice, he pushed the door open and hurriedly entered.
When he saw Snowfall, who had lost too much blood and fainted on the bed, he panicked. He stepped forward and asked, "Wh-what happened to her?"
What entered Bai Zhanke's eyes were the wound on Snowfall's wrist and the blood stains that had not dried.
"She exchanged Jin's blood. Hurry up and have Mu Xuanli take a look for her."
Hearing Bai Zhanke's words, Shangguan Yi picked up Snowfall and rushed out.
Blood change?
Shangguan Yi never thought that snowfall would be so stupid.
Two days later.
When Hua Mujin woke up, two days had already passed since the Gu worm had been forced out of her body.
"How, how long have I been unconscious?"
Opening her eyes, Hua Mujin did not see the man she wanted to see, but only saw Mu Xuanli and Mu Yuze.
"Five days, no more, exactly five days."
Five days? That was long enough.
Hua Mujin made a move, seeing that her wrist was wrapped, she was a little doubtful.
However, that wasn't what he wanted to ask right now.
"Where's Bai Zhanke? Where is he?"
Everything inside the house was not the Jinxi Palace that Hua Mujin was familiar with, so she dared to conclude that this was not the palace.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're asking your husband right after you've awoken. In any case, this prince, this Young Royal Uncle, has been taking care of you day and night for a whole five days. Don't you know that you should first pay attention to this prince?"
Mu Yuze was clearly teasing Hua Mujin, but from his tone, it was indeed tasteless.
The current Hua Mujin was still very weak, so naturally she did not want to bicker with Mu Yuze either.
"This, isn't the palace?"
"Mn, this is the General's Estate. The only reason you can be saved is all because of that Southern Wilderness girl that Shangguan Yi brought back. Otherwise, the Gu worm in your body wouldn't be able to force it out of your body."
Obviously, Hua Mujin now was not the time to joke around.
Thus, Mu Xuanli was able to clear her doubts.
General's Estate? The Gu worm was forced out of his body?
Hearing this news, Hua Mujin was actually very happy in her heart.
The Gu worm in her body refused to be spoken of by the empress dowager. When the Gu worm reaches twenty years of age, it will slowly devour her, and the Gu worm will be expelled from her body. This means that her life won't weaken just because of a mere little bug?
"Is that so? "Then I really must thank that girl."
Mu Yuze and Mu Xuanli did not plan to tell her where Bai Zhanke was, so Hua Mujin did not ask further.
After all, she was still weak at the moment, and speaking a few more words was exhausting.
"You are indeed right, you should thank that young lady. Not only did she expel the Gu worm from your body, she even exchanged your blood. The reason you could wake up so quickly is all because of her."
After saying these words, Mu Xuanli's face exposed his guilt.
He felt that not only was he an expert in supernatural ability, he was also skilled in medical techniques. However, at the most critical moment, he was unable to save the person he wanted to save and had to rely on someone else to do so.
To Mu Xuanli, this was a matter of great shame and self-blame.
"Exchange, change of blood?"
Hua Mujin lifted her arm, and looked at her bandaged wound with a somewhat blurry gaze.
"Your body is still very weak right now, you need to recuperate properly. Huan Yue Emperor won't come to the General's Estate for now, so you won't be able to see him. "You will see him again when you are well again."
With that, Mu Xuanli stood up and walked out.
Just as Mu Xuanli had said, Hua Mujin stayed in the General's Estate the entire time. Because of her weak body, she could not take a single step away.
Ten days later.
General's Estate, a room that belonged to Hua Mujin, barged in with a few maids.
Hua Mujin looked at the maids dumbly, not understanding what they were talking about.
"Imperial Concubine Xi, this servant has received orders from the Lord General to come and help you clean up."
Cleaning up?
"Washing up? I... Can I release my General's Estate now? "
Although she did not know what the hell Shangguan Yi was doing, Hua Mujin was still happy that she was able to use her General's Estate.
This way, she could go and see Bai Zhanke.
In these last ten days, Hua Mujin had been thinking whether she had been abandoned by Bai Zhanke, which was why she didn't even reveal herself.
However, she had heard that he had abolished the harem. This series of events left her in confusion.
"This servant isn't sure. This servant just follows the orders of his lordship and came to help the Empress clean herself. I hope that the Empress can cooperate and blindfold her eyes first."
Blindness?
Before Hua Mujin could react, her eyes were already covered by a white cloth.
Initially, she wanted to reach out her hand and pull it off, but thinking that she could come out of General's Estate to see Bai Zhanke after dressing up like this, she decided to do as she pleased.
After an unknown amount of time, Hua Mujin allowed the maid to flip him upside down. She had even changed her clothes, and the makeup and bun on her face, after being dressed up, was covered with a red veil.
Of course, Hua Mujin's eyes were blindfolded, so she did not know that she was wearing a big red wedding robe that was embroidered by the palace girls all day and all night.
"Imperial Concubine Xi, this servant will support you. Please follow this servant."
Somehow, Hua Mujin managed to find a maid to talk him into it.
Until she was helped up the Phoenix Brothel.
The sound of wheels rolling could be heard, Hua Mujin felt that she was in a palanquin, but she really didn't know where she would be driven to.
After about fifteen minutes, the Phoenix Cage finally stopped.
"Empress, this servant will help you to get out of the carriage. Please be careful."
Lv Zhu's familiar voice sounded out beside her ears.
Hearing Lv Zhu's voice, Hua Mujin relaxed a little.
Although she didn't doubt that Shangguan Yi would harm his, Lv Zhu's voice made her feel a lot more at ease.
"Where am I? What is Shangguan Yi doing? Can I remove the white cloth from my eyes? "
The reason she asked Lv Zhu was because she felt that Lv Zhu would honestly answer her questions.
Just as she thought, Lv Zhu honestly answered.
"To reply the Empress, the white stripes on the Empress' eyes under the golden platform have been removed. Only, the emperor has to personally take off the head of the Empress' head."
Head covering?
This time, Hua Mujin was completely shocked.
She tore off the white strip on her eyes. A bright red veil appeared to cover her line of sight.
Hua Mujin stretched out her hand to lift the cover, but was stopped by Lv Zhu.
"Esteemed Empress, you can't. This cover will have to wait until the Jin'ling Terrace and have the Emperor personally take care of it. Otherwise, it would be unlucky."
Hua Mujin's hands trembled a little as she put her hands down. Then, with Lv Zhu's support, she slowly walked up the stairs towards the so called Jin'ling Altar, step by step.
When the last step was over, Lv Zhu let go of Hua Mujin's hands. A man wearing bright yellow emperor's boots appeared in Hua Mujin's line of sight.
"Bai, Bai Zhanke?"
Hua Mujin called out uncertainly.
"Yes, it's me!"
Hearing Bai Zhanke's magnetic voice, Hua Mujin's eyes instantly became watery, and tears started rolling down her face.
The top of her head began to be slowly lifted by Bai Zhanke's hand. When the top of the head was completely lifted off the head, Hua Mujin saw that top, the person she had been thinking about day and night for these past ten days.
"I thought, you didn't want me anymore. I thought, I thought …"
Seeing Hua Mujin's tears, Bai Zhanke's face was filled with pain.
He reached out his hand to wipe the tears off Hua Mujin's face. A pair of deep black eyes.
"Idiot, we have said that we will give you a peaceful and prosperous Huan Yue Nation, we will never go back on our word."
