Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Your Majesty, there are poisonous insects here. Let’s leave first!” The empress panicked and looked at Rong Xiaotian.
Rong Xiaotian’s expression was extremely ugly at this time. He smashed the wine cup with great force and shouted, “l won’t leave! I’d like to see where these poisonous insects came from!”
“It’s the thirteenth princess! The poisonous insects came out from the perfume bag she gave me!” Rong Han held onto Rong Zhan’s other hand and could clearly feel that his father’s body temperature was gradually decreasing.
As soon as Rong Han said this, everyone’s eyes turned to the thirteenth princess.
The thirteenth princess trembled in fear. She shook her head and said, “No, I’m innocent. I just wanted Lil t Han to like me. I didn’t know there were poisonous insects in the sachet.”
“Immediately take His Royal Highness to his room. I need to deal with this poisonous insect first.” Seeing that Rong Zhan’s condition had improved, Gu Qingxue immediately picked up the poisonous bug from the ground carefully and put it into the bottle.
Gu Worms were different from other worms. If she could find the source, she might be able to find the murderer.
Meanwhile, Rong Zhan’s secret guards had already brought him to a side hall.
“Miss Gu, how’s Zhan’er?” The empress dowager asked with concern.
“The prince’s life is hanging by a thread. This lowly official will first go treat the prince,” Gu Qingxue said quickly.
“Go quickly. No matter what, you must do your best.” Rong Xiaotian said as he watched Gu Qingxue leave.
Gu Qingxue’s expression was also grave. She quickly went to the side hall where Rong Zhan was.
Liu Yi and the other secret guards were standing guard at the door. They were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They looked at Gu Qingxue with worried expressions and asked, “Miss Gu, we did as you asked and didn’t dare to touch His Royal Highness. Right now, His Royal Highness is alone in his room, and even the imperial physicians said that they couldn’t do anything, so we can only count on you!’
“The poison His Royal Highness is suffering from is a very rare Gu Poison. I’m not very good at curing it. However, I will do my best to treat him. Liu Yi, guard the door with your men. I’ll go in for treatment first. Without my permission, don’t let anyone in so that they won’t disturb me, understand?” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she had already pushed open the tightly shut door.
“Yes!” Liu Yi led the other secret guards and stood guard outside the door with an anxious expression. Then, they watched Gu Qingxue enter the room.
The room was airtight. Gu Qingxue had just entered the room when she clearly smelled a faint fishy smell rising in the air. This fishy smell was different from the strange smell when Rong Zhan’s poison acted up. It was more like the smell of some living creature. The smell was not particularly strong, but it lingered in the air.
Gu Qingxue sat by Rong Zhan’s bed with a cold expression, then looked at him.
Rong Zhan’s face was now a strange purple-green color, and his well-shaped lips had completely turned dark blue.
Some of his clothes had been taken off, and the hand that had been bitten by the poisonous insect was exposed to the air. The finger that had been bitten had turned dark purple, and it was completely impossible to see what it should have looked like.
Not only that, the poison continued to spread upwards along Rong Zhan’s wound, and the blood vessels that were touched by the poison turned dark purple..
