Chapter 1123: Chapter 1128: Return to Her Natal Home (4)

Nangong Yi, upon seeing Cai Wei bitten by the insect, noticed a blood line on her neck and was immediately panicked. He rushed to check her injury.

In that distracted moment, the slightly larger Gu bug suddenly landed on his nape and viciously bit down. Immediately, a vivid blood flower burst forth on Nangong Yi’s nape, extravagantly bright.

Nangong Yi, in pain, clutched his neck.

As he raised his hand, the larger Gu bug, having fulfilled its mission and found a host, slid to the ground and quickly died.

Cai Wei looked at the bodies of the two golden bugs, one large and one small on the ground, and murmured, "Yi, it seems... we both... have been poisoned by Gu..."

Nangong Yi looked at the bloodstains on Cai Wei’s neck with heartache, his eyes gathering a killing aura.

"Damn it—"

Gritting his teeth and with veins bulging on his forehead, he grabbed Cai Wei and strode towards the Sleeping Hall.

After walking past the screen in the Cleansing Room, the door to the Sleeping Hall was unexpectedly open. At the entrance, Luo Xue stood holding a small bag, appearing utterly disheartened...

Nangong Yi ’humphed,’ his face ashen. Holding Cai Wei’s hand, he passed her and went straight into the hall.

The Sleeping Hall was in complete chaos.

Li Ruizhu was pulling at Tuotuo’s hair. They had rolled from the couch to the floor, fiercely fighting as if their lives depended on it. One of Tuotuo’s wrists had been pierced by a dart, rendering that arm powerless. She fought Li Ruizhu single-handedly, clearly at a disadvantage.

On the couch, the eunuch disguised as Nangong Yi was still stubbornly feigning unconsciousness, completely motionless, allowing the two women on the ground to fight as if their lives depended on it, screaming and wailing.

The arrival of Nangong Yi and Cai Wei stunned Li Ruizhu and Tuotuo, who were entangled with each other.

They hesitantly released each other, looking uneasily at Nangong Yi with rich expressions of fear.

Nangong Yi slowly approached Princess Tuotuo, looking down at her with a gaze filled with gloomy aura. He said coldly, "I and the Empress have both been poisoned by your Gu. Are you satisfied?"

Tuotuo, seeing the handsome man’s emotionless eyes and hearing his chilling voice, felt terrified. The man was still captivatingly beautiful and seizing of souls, yet his expression reminded her of a bloodthirsty Shura...

"No, it’s not my doing. It was your Imperial Mother, your sister. They are the ones who wanted to poison you with Gu..."

"They are them. But now we are talking about you. Listen, if you want to leave here alive, you’d better think about how to cure the Empress and me of the Gu. Otherwise, hehe..."

The man sneered, his gloomy eyes flashing with cruelty. Suddenly, he stepped forward. The bright yellow of his dragon boots crushed down on Tuotuo’s injured wrist, and a sharp dagger mercilessly cut through Princess Tuotuo’s flesh, severing half of her wrist.

"Ah—"

Princess Tuotuo screamed painfully, like a pig being slaughtered, her cries heart-wrenching and deafening...

Empress Dowager Mo, stationed outside the door, had already heard the noise and cries of Li Ruizhu and Tuotuo, but she dared not recklessly enter, fearing that the flying Gu might accidentally bite her.

Now, faintly hearing her son’s voice and Tuotu’s desperate screams, her heart shuddered with fear. She could no longer care about the risks, burst through the door, and rushed in.

"What happened? What on earth happened?"

She stormed into the room, only to be instantly shocked by the horrifying scene before her!

In the center of the room, Li Ruizhu lay sprawled half on the floor, her face ash-grey. On her face, neck, and exposed skin, countless pickled blisters were densely packed. Under these transparent blisters, it seemed as if groups of black little bugs were writhing, creating a deeply creepy sight...
