Chapter 188: The Emperor is Poisoned

and it’s the kind without a gun! Of course, I have to enjoy myself thoroughly, wouldn't it be a shame not to” The beautiful man in front of her was like a painting. Su Qingying’s mind went blank, and...Su Ziyi's wrist twitched, just about to make a move, when a hurried footstep sounded outside the hall. Immediately after, Xi'er's panicked voice came in, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened. The Emperor suddenly fainted! Fifth Princess ordered me to urgently ask you to come over, Your Highness, where are you"

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyi's pupils constricted violently, his face changed drastically, he threw away the long sword in his hand, casually put on an outer robe, and left Zhao Tianyu in a hurry, "Good! This palace will go right away!"

"Huh Where'd everyone go" Zhao Tianyu was stunned as Su Ziyix strode away. After a moment of thought, he quietly followed behind, "Forget it, I'm bored anyway. Might as well go see what's going on."

At the same time, outside the gate of Zichen Palace, countless concubines gathered anxiously, among them was Ji Yan'er.

Thinking about what she had done, her heart pounded with fear. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, terrified of being caught.

To prevent the chattering women in the harem from disturbing Su Chengming's rest, Su Qingying firmly drove them all out, forbidding anyone to enter without her command.

The first time I witnessed Su Qingying's powerful and cold aura, all the palace ladies were stunned into submission. Even those who had been most defiant backed down, all meekly waiting outside the doors.

"Ying'er, how is Father" Su Ziyi and Xi'er arrived one after the other, looking at Emperor Suchengming lying pale on the dragon bed, his heart clenched.

"The situation isn't very optimistic. Several imperial physicians examined Father Emperor's pulse together, and they all found the same thing as I did: his pulse was steady and normal, yet his bodily functions were steadily declining. I've never encountered this kind of case before, and I don't know what to do." Su Qingying sat beside Su Chengming's bed, having already examined his pulse ten times or more. She felt increasingly anxious in her heart.

Logically speaking, her medical skills were quite outstanding, and she was particularly skilled at diagnosing illnesses through pulse reading. However, despite using every method she knew, she couldn't pinpoint the cause of the illness. She was getting desperate.

"How could this be" Su Ziyi's heart sank suddenly, her voice trembling slightly. "Father has always been in good health, and I've never heard him say he was unwell. How could he suddenly fall into a coma"

Su Qingying shook her head, having no clue whatsoever. She instinctively looked towards Jun Liye behind her, "Allie, do you have any ideas"

Given his vast knowledge and wide range of experience, he might just know something.

As soon as the words left her lips, everyone in the room turned their gaze towards Jun Liye. Even Su Ziyi couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation for him.

Jun Li lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "This kind of situation, this king has seen a few similar ones in Nanjiang. If this king is not mistaken, Emperor Dongyue should have been..."

"It's a worm!" Zhao Tianyu crossed his arms and swaggered in from the front door, confidently picking up where Jun Liye left off.

Upon hearing this, Jun Li's night-blood eyes narrowed. He looked at him deeply and nodded, "Indeed, besides the Nanjiang Gu worms, I can't think of anything else."

"Who are you How could you tell at a glance that Father had been poisoned" Looking at the unexpected guest standing at the door, Su Qingying's phoenix eyes gradually turned cold, her gaze probing and wary.

Seeing their suspicion, Zhao Tianyu shrugged his shoulders and resolutely refused to take the blame. “Don’t look at me, this thing is very evil, I don’t raise it, I was just being chased by them here.”

He rolled up his sleeve, revealing an arm that looked as though it had been ravaged by insects. Scars crisscrossed the skin, some deep enough to show bone, others ripped open chunks of flesh.

Su Qingying didn't understand insects, so she looked at Jun Liye as if asking for his opinion. Seeing him silently nod, Su Qingying finally felt relieved.

Then, do you know how to take out the insect gu” Su Qingying stared at him with blazing eyes.

Besides, Su Zixian pursed her vermilion lips, her eyes complex.

Glancing at Su Chengming's pale and bluish face, Zhao Tianyu stroked his chin and shook his head with a sigh.

"It's difficult, once a silkworm worm enters the body, unless the person who planted it uses a special technique to remove it, otherwise, one can only wait for the silkworm worm to consume the host's five internal organs and six bowels before crawling out on its own. There is no other way."

In a single sentence, everyone's spirits plummeted to the depths of despair.

With a tight grip on her fists, Su Qingying remained stoic. For the first time, she felt such intense hatred for her own powerlessness. "Is there truly no other way"

Damn it, who the hell poisoned my father with such a vicious poison

Finally, she understood what family meant and what fatherly love was. No matter the cost, she would protect her emperor father with all her might!

"Damn it!"

Su Ziyi immediately punched the wall beside him, his fist full of blood. He seemed to feel no pain, letting the blood drip to the ground.

"Brother Emperor!"

Su Qingying cried out in surprise, quickly walked to his side, carefully lifted his bleeding hand, took out a silk scarf, and bandaged him while scolding:

"Brother, I know you're worried about Father's illness, but you can't hurt yourself either. Father is already unconscious, you absolutely cannot do anything else!"

Su Ziyi lowered his gaze and looked at Su Qingying's rather serious little face, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Zhao Tianyu glared at Su Ziyi's wounded hand, his deep and profound eyes flickered, his hands clasped behind his back, he strolled towards them nonchalantly, with a smirk:

"But don't lose heart too much, I have a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. However, I don't know how long it will work for."

What can we do!

Su Qingying and Su Ziyix, the siblings, immediately raised their heads to look at him, eagerly staring at him. Their eyes, which were incredibly similar, sparkled with a thousand stars.

"It's simple, put the worm into a slumber and make it immobile." Zhao Tianyu smirked. "Unluckily for you, I'm not very good at extracting worms, but when it comes to hypnotizing them, I'm quite skilled. Come now, all of you step aside and give me some space."

Having said that, Zhao Tianyu moved between Su Qingying and Su Ziyue, walked straight to Su Chengming's dragon bed, and helped him sit up.

Long fingers gently pressed against Su Chengming's back, internal energy quietly circulating in the dantian area, flowing continuously from his palms into Su Chengming's body.

Jun Liye silently walked to Su Qingying's side, giving Zhao Tianyu a meaningful look with her blood-red eyes that held a hidden meaning.

Using internal force to suppress the venomous insects, if one is not careful, it could backfire and stimulate a revolt of the insects, causing them to retaliate. At best, one's internal force would be depleted; at worst, their life would be in danger. Who exactly is this person Are they an enemy or a friend

After a long while, Zhao Tianyu slightly retracted his inner strength, his face pale.

After gently helping Su Chengming lie back down, he stood up and slowly swept his gaze over Su Ziyue and the others, saying in a stern voice:

"My inner strength is special, born with a cold nature. From now on, I must replenish him with inner strength every day to ensure that the worm doesn't wake up during its most active hours. But, as I said, this is a temporary solution. The worm has an incredibly strong adaptability. Every time it sleeps, my inner strength will gradually be adapted by it. Therefore, you must find a way to remove the worm within a month."ather's worm poison.Leaving Su Chengming's sleeping quarters, everything around was eerily silent. A late evening breeze picked up, bringing a hint of coolness.Letting Jun Li lead her forward, Su Qing...
