Previously, Imperial Beauty Hua only felt pain in her stomach and the arm Lin Zhaojun was holding down tightly. But at this moment, she felt an unbearable pain in her entire body.
"Ah …"
Even though the previous Imperial Beauty Hua who had her acupoints pierced by Lin Zhaojun had become unable to speak, she was still crying out loud due to the pain.
When the blood red demon crawled out of Imperial Beauty Hua's wrist, Imperial Beauty Hua's full stomach instantly disappeared, and then she collapsed.
Lin Zhaojun heaved a sigh of relief, and the hand that was originally suppressing her finally loosened.
Imperial Beauty Hua was about to fall to the ground, but another palace maid immediately stepped forward to support him.
It was now in a world of ice and snow, but Imperial Beauty Hua was drenched in sweat. The palace maid who was supporting her felt that she was holding onto a block of ice, and immediately ordered palace maid behind her: "Hurry and get a thick cloak, and create a stove. Quickly, quickly …"
When the palace maid heard the order, she immediately ran into the room in a fluster.
When Lin Zhaojun saw Imperial Beauty Hua looking as if she was about to die, she couldn't bear it anymore. She ordered the palace maid who was supporting Imperial Beauty Hua: "Let's blow the cold air here, quickly help her back to her room. Give her as much hot water as possible to drink."
The palace maid turned to look at Ming Yuexuan, and when Ming Yuexuan nodded, the palace maid then called for the other palace maids to help support Imperial Beauty Hua into the room.
After a few more people, the pavilion became much emptier.
Ming Yuexuan's mouth was slightly agape, his eyes motionless as he stared at the water basin.
Imperial Concubine Shu also opened her eyes wide, as if someone was strangling her, and not a single sound came out of her throat.
The other palace maids also did not dare to hold their breath, not daring to move an inch.
The originally bright red water inside the basin gradually became fainter, and soon returned back to clear water. Everyone could clearly see a blood-red worm as thick as a pair of chopsticks wiggling inside the basin. Because of its long length, it actually took up most of the space in the basin.
"What is going on?" Only after a long while did Ming Yuexuan manage to find his voice.
Lin Zhaojun saw the shock on Ming Yuexuan's face that still had not receded, and explained. "Imperial Beauty Hua has been infected with a parasite!"
"Gu?" Ming Yuexuan muttered, his eyes full of questions.
"Yes, she has been infected with a type of Gu worm called Fetal Gu!" Lin Zhaojun slowly explained: "This kind of Fetal Gu can create the illusion of a person being pregnant!"
After Ming Yuexuan heard this, he fell into a long period of silence. Lin Zhaojun knew that it was difficult for him to digest this information, so it was useless for him to say anything else.
A cold wind suddenly blew, causing everyone to shiver, even Ming Yuexuan was no exception.
Eunuch Hong looked at Ming Yuexuan with a troubled face. He wanted Ming Yuexuan to go inside to prevent a cold wind from blowing, but he was afraid of the gloomy Ming Yuexuan.
Fortunately, Lin Zhaojun opened her mouth and said: "The wind is blowing, let's talk after we return home!"
After she finished speaking, Lin Zhaojun did not wait for Ming Yuexuan's words, and directly took the water basin and turned to leave.
Ming Yuexuan also quietly stood up and followed behind Lin Zhaojun. Imperial Concubine Shu, Eunuch Hong and the rest also followed.
Lin Zhaojun rushed straight to Imperial Beauty Hua's room, placed the water basin that made everyone turn pale with fright onto the table, and then walked over to Imperial Beauty Hua's bed.
The palace maids had built three to four furnaces inside the room, causing the room to become extremely warm. They also followed Lin Zhaojun's instructions and continuously fed hot sugary water to the Imperial Beauty Hua.
At the moment, the Imperial Beauty Hua's power was gradually being restored, and her face started to turn red, no longer showing any signs of being in danger.
When Imperial Beauty Hua saw Lin Zhaojun moving closer to him to look at him, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart and scold, "You slut, harming me like this, you will definitely die a horrible death …"
"You still have the strength to scold people. It seems like you have nothing to do!" Lin Zhaojun originally wanted to be righteous and take a look at Imperial Beauty Hua's situation. It would be best if she could ensure that Imperial Beauty Hua wouldn't die because of the poison, but it seemed that there was absolutely no need for him to be so kind.
Just as Lin Zhaojun was about to turn around and leave, Ming Yuexuan who seemed to be releasing black Qi arrived in front of Imperial Beauty Hua's bed.
When Imperial Beauty Hua saw Ming Yuexuan, she did not care about how Ming Yuexuan's face looked, but started crying uncontrollably.
"Speak, who was the one who ordered you to do this?" Ming Yuexuan's voice was mixed with obvious anger.
"Chenqie is being unjustly accused! Where did this person come from? What did you tell me to do again? " Imperial Beauty Hua said while feeling wronged.
"Then how did you get the Fetal Gu in your stomach?" Ming Yuexuan asked loudly again.
Eunuch Hong had been standing outside the room quietly the entire time. When he heard Ming Yuexuan's loud voice, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Chenqie is being unjustly accused! What Fetal Gu? "I don't know anything at all!" Facing Ming Yuexuan's questioning, Imperial Beauty Hua still acted as if she did not know anything.
"Don't know?" "Do you believe that I will hit you until you know?" Ming Yuexuan threatened.
"Wuu … wuu …" I really don't know, I don't know anything! " Imperial Beauty Hua's strength that she had painstakingly recovered had almost been wiped away by her tears.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ming Yuexuan's eyes. Could it be that Imperial Beauty Hua really didn't know?
This doubt was caught by the Imperial Beauty Hua, so the Imperial Beauty Hua once again launched a tear filled attack and cried: "I don't know anything, it's all this woman's fault. If this woman makes a ruckus, the child in my stomach will be gone, it must be her doing something behind the scenes! She is the one who harmed me. Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for this concubine! "
Imperial Concubine Shu stood on the bed, and the gaze she looked at Lin Zhaojun with was also filled with caution. She was in agreement with what Imperial Beauty Hua had said, because Imperial Beauty Hua had always been together with her, and she felt that Imperial Beauty Hua didn't seem to have that ability.
Ming Yuexuan was skeptical of the Imperial Beauty Hua's words and could not help but cast his gaze at Lin Zhaojun, who was standing by the side and watching the show.
Lin Zhaojun met Ming Yuexuan's inquiring eyes and with a "puchi", she started laughing. Originally, she was only chuckling softly, but she did not expect herself to stop just because she was laughing.
Everyone in the room looked at Lin Zhaojun strangely, and Qing Feng could not help but frown. Although those gazes were not directed at him, she still felt uncomfortable.
"Imperial Beauty Hua, I'll have to trouble you to think of something to say! I didn't even come to the Bright Moon Kingdom when you were infected by the parasite. Besides, if you didn't intentionally cause trouble for my servant today, I wouldn't even know your name, or how many noses you have, or how many eyes I have. Are you worthy? " Lin Zhaojun scolded in one breath.
What Lin Zhaojun said was the truth, and Imperial Beauty Hua's face paled. When Ming Yuexuan looked at Lin Zhaojun, there was no doubt at all, what replaced it was guilt.
Because no matter how Ming Yuexuan threatened Imperial Beauty Hua, the Imperial Beauty Hua was firmly certain that she was not aware of the fact that she had been infected with the Fetal Gu, and was not pregnant. She was also a true victim, and Ming Yuexuan did not get any leads.
Imperial Concubine Shu came out to plead for on behalf of Imperial Beauty Hua: "Looks like Imperial Beauty Hua really doesn't know anything. Your Majesty, please forgive her!"
"Since you two sisters have such a deep affection for each other, then accompany her and take care of her!" The fire within Ming Yuexuan's body had no place to erupt. It was just at this time that Imperial Concubine Shu jumped out to plead on behalf of the Imperial Beauty Hua, so naturally, she did not get a good look from Ming Yuexuan.
