Ji Ziyi frowned: "Are you serious that you don't want to eat?"
Chu Yunjiao's stomach began to regurgitate acid water continuously, and he shook his head fiercely.
Ji Ziyi glanced at her, put the bowl aside, and began to sit down. She frowned and helped Rong Cang take out the silver needle from his body.
After taking out the silver needle, the two young eunuchs came forward and gently untied His Highness the War King from the ropes that bound him. Rong Cang closed his eyes, calming down his internal organs as if they had just experienced a battle.
Chu Yunfei stared at his pale face, eyes full of worry.
After a moment, Rong Cang slowly opened his eyes.
Chu Yunfei supported him: "Do you have the strength?"
"Don't worry, cousin." Ji Ziyi said calmly, wiping the silver needles one by one, "I just took out a bug and didn't torture it. How can I lose strength?"
Rong Cang sat up. After a moment of weakness, he felt as if his internal organs had been cleansed and he felt more relaxed than ever before.
"Cousin?" When Emperor Mu heard Ji Ziyi's name, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Is Princess Zhan your cousin?"
Ji Ziyi stood up and bowed to Emperor Mu: "Ji Ziyi, a grassroots citizen, is the young master of Langya City and the cousin of Princess Zhan."
Emperor Mu turned his head and looked at Yang Dexi subconsciously.
Yang Dexi shook his head and said he didn't know.
Of course they were in Langya City, but it was really surprising that Ji Ziyi and Princess Zhan had such a cousin relationship.
"The wife of the Minister of Chu is the aunt of the grassroots." Ji Ziyi took the initiative to explain, "The aunt is the legitimate daughter of Langya City. When she went to Beijing to play, she accidentally met the Minister of Chu who won the first prize. They fell in love at first sight and made a lifelong promise. Grandpa. My grandmother did not agree with their marriage, but my aunt insisted on her own way and had to marry her. My grandparents were angry and said, 'If you insist on getting married, you will sever the relationship between father and daughter.' After that, my aunt married the Minister of Chu, who was a seventh-rank official at the time. , I have no contact with Langya City for the next sixteen years."
Mu Di frowned, as if he found it incredible: "For a man, you even want to give up your own parents?"
"That's not entirely true." Ji Ziyi smiled lightly, as if she could understand the young daughter's new love, "My aunt has been spoiled by her grandmother since she was a child. Emotionally, she has a chivalrous habit of daring to love and hate. Over the years, Not going back to Langya City was not only to be angry with my grandparents, but also to prove that my decision was correct. Unfortunately, I met someone who was not kind to me. Later, I probably felt that I was too embarrassed to go back to see my parents, so..."
Emperor Mu was silent, thinking of the rumors he had heard before about Chu Shilang's doting on his concubines and killing his wife, and he deeply thought that Mrs. Chu was not a smart person.
However, when he was young, Chu Yuanzhong was indeed talented and talented. It was understandable that Mrs. Chu fell in love with him at first sight.
"My grandparents have grown older over the years, and they regretted their original attitude towards their daughter. However, the old man couldn't help but ordered the people to pay attention to the activities of my aunt and cousin." Ji Ziyi sighed softly and explained the whole story with a hint of sadness. , "Some time ago, I heard that the War King had divorced his wife. The common people were worried that their cousin and aunt would be affected by the rumors, so they planned to take their aunt and cousin to Langya City. Who would have expected that by such a coincidence, they would learn that the War King was poisoned."
After hearing this, Emperor Mu nodded slowly: "That's it."
Chu Yunfei felt regretful: "If I had known that my cousin was good at medicine, I should have invited my cousin over half a year ago."
"I'm afraid not." Rong Cang glanced at her silently, "Half a year ago you didn't know I was bewitched."
"Your Majesty, you have the nerve to say it." Chu Yunfei sneered, "I hid my discomfort. If I hadn't noticed something strange and asked Chang Qing, and you were still kept in the dark, how would I have had the chance to find a doctor for you?"
Rong Cang hesitated: "..."
Emperor Mu silently glanced at Chu Yunfei and felt that this daughter-in-law had a very strong temper.
Ji Ziyi packed up everything and bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness, the King of War, is in good health. Please leave first."
"Is everything going to be fine after you get rid of the poison?" Emperor Mu's eyes calmly passed over his pale face, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"It's nothing serious, just rest for a few days." Ji Ziyi said calmly, "Don't use force for three days."
Emperor Mu was concerned: "Will it leave any root causes of disease?"
"No, please don't worry, Your Majesty." Ji Ziyi said, glancing at Chu Yunjiao, with a hint of pity on his face, "Actually, the child Gu will only cause torture to the point where life is worse than death, but the harm it causes to the human body is not as good as that of the mother. insanity."
Having said this, Ji Ziyi looked at Chu Yunjiao: "The mother Gu is still in Miss Chu's body, are you sure you don't want to get rid of it?"
Mother Gu?
Emperor Mu was startled, and then he realized belatedly that the reason why Chu Yunjiao was brought into the palace to take blood... was that she was infected with a mother's poison?
The expression on Emperor Mu's face gradually faded away, and he stared at Chu Yunjiao with deep eyes, his eyes deep and unpredictable: "What's going on with the mother Gu in your body?"
"I..." Chu Yunjiao was flustered and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, spare my life! I..."
"The evil person used Chu Yunjiao's body as a container to raise the mother Gu. The purpose of sending her to Prince Zhan's Mansion was to prompt her to get close to the prince." Chu Yunfei explained lightly, "The last time the prince had an attack, it was because of Chu Yun Jiao deliberately scratched his arm, causing the child Gu to lose control and become restless, and because of this, the daughter-in-law realized that the mother Gu was actually inside her body."
After a pause, "However, after years of feeding Gu poison with his own essence and blood, Chu Yunjiao's body has been seriously damaged and he will no longer be able to bear children in this life."
Emperor Mu's face was as dark as water, and he looked at Chu Yunjiao coldly: "Who drove you?"
Chu Yunjiao shook his head in fear: "I don't know! I didn't know anything before, just...just a few days before the war king divorced his wife, the prince said...the prince said..."
"Which prince?" Emperor Mu's eyes sharpened. Even though he already had the answer in his mind, he still asked, "Tell me, which prince ordered you?"
Before Chu Yunjiao entered the palace, his attitude was somewhat shaken, and he still had a glimmer of hope for King Chen. At this time, when he heard the words "unable to conceive an heir" again, hatred surged in his heart.
She lowered her head and spoke tremblingly: "Chen...King Chen..."
Emperor Mu's eyes flashed coldly, and his voice was as cold as a blade: "Don't reveal anything about today's events to anyone, otherwise not only you, but your father and aunt will be implicated by you, and I will definitely charge you with murdering the prince. You will be put to death in Lingchi!"
Chu Yunjiao was so frightened that he kowtowed: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Since you are already the concubine of the Prince of War, I will hand you over to the Prince of War and his concubine." Emperor Mu looked at Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei, "You go back and rest first, I want to talk to Mr. Ji. chat."
Chu Yunfei was shocked: "Father..."
"What?" Emperor Mu glanced at her, "Are you worried that I will be harmful to him?"
"No, my daughter-in-law just..."
Emperor Mu said: "He saved the King of War. I will only reward him but not punish him."
When Chu Yunfei heard this, he suddenly thought of something and glanced at Ji Ziyi without hesitating to speak.
Emperor Mu frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Chu Yunfei's expression was subtle: "My cousin said that the diagnosis fee will cost 10,000 taels of gold."
"Ten thousand taels..." Emperor Mu's expression froze, "Gold?"
Ji Ziyi nodded and asked calmly: "Your Majesty, do you think His Royal Highness the War King's life is not worth ten thousand taels of gold?"
Mu Di was speechless: "..."
Is that worth it?
Ji Ziyi actually dared to open her mouth in front of him, the emperor. She was really courageous.
"Rong Cang, what do you think?"
