Chapter 1131: Chapter 1136: The Fate of Bad Guys (1)

Nangong Yi didn’t keep Cai Wei waiting for too long, just as she lay down, he arrived.

Unlike before, when he used to come with a faint scent of Dragon Saliva perfume, this time, his body carried a strong smell of liquor.

"Did you drink?"

When the man leaned over, Cai Wei sat up, tilting her head and looking at him with clear, inquisitive pupils.

Nangong Yi hummed in agreement and sat down beside her, taking off his boots and joining her on the couch.

Smelling the heavy scent of alcohol on the man, Cai Wei moved to get off the bed to pour him a cup of tea to sober up.

Just as one leg swung off, she was already pulled back into his bosom.

"Don’t go!"

Nangong Yi stopped her, sat her on his legs, buried his face in her neck, his voice sounded heavy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

This display of emotions was rare for him, probably because he was troubled by some scheme of his mother and younger sister; Cai Wei guessed as much. She obediently sat in his embrace, motionless, as they quietly held each other.

The moonlight outside the window spilled into the room, soft and faint, casting a gentle glow on the two of them, truly a sight of extreme beauty!

After an unspecified amount of time, the man finally spoke, "Everything has been taken care of!"

"Mmm."

Cai Wei knew what he was referring to and responded. The man continued speaking.

"The Empress Dowager is ill, from now on she will no longer involve herself with affairs of the Imperial Harem or government affairs; from this point forward, you must take charge of all matters within the Imperial Harem. Fortunately, in the years to come, you will be the only one in the Imperial Harem, so there should be fewer troubles; Zhao Yue, to pray for blessings for the Empress Dowager, has voluntarily gone to Jingci Nunnery to become a nun and cultivate for three years; Li Ruizhu, involved in Princess Tuotuo’s gu poisoning incident, ought to be executed immediately and her Nine Clans extirpated, but, in consideration of General Li’s contributions to quelling rebellion, she has been pardoned. However, she was struck by Lice Gu and is now in a state worse than death..."

The man wasn’t exaggerating; Li Ruizhu indeed suffered more than death itself. Having been struck by Lice Gu, her body was covered in densely packed burn blisters, the itchiness unbearable. Where the blisters were scratched open, lice scurried out in swarms, hopping onto anyone nearby when they landed on the floor—it was indeed creepy...

Nangong Yi, fearing that Lice Gu might spread throughout the palace, had already ordered that she be sent back to the General’s Mansion. Her fate was now unknown, and Nangong Yi couldn’t bother to inquire any further.

Princess Tuotuo was taken to a secret room and strictly interrogated by the Secret Guard about how to lift the Cloud-rain Gu, but to this moment, it had been verified that the Cloud-rain Gu was without a cure.

According to Princess Tuotuo’s confession, men and women afflicted by the Cloud-rain Gu would love each other to death for a lifetime; there would be no one else between the two of them, even if one became crippled, wasted, old, or ugly, in the other’s heart, he (she) would forever be the best, irreplaceable.

Naturally, there were drawbacks to the Cloud-rain Gu; if either of the affected pair had relations with another of the opposite sex, they would die from the poison’s onset. Worse still, if one died, the other couldn’t continue living and would follow to death...

"Wei’er, I’m afraid I will precede you in death but will have to drag you with me; you are ten years younger than I, you could live at least another ten years..."

Nangong Yi’s voice was low and weary, tinged with a trace of guilt.

Believing that the man’s mood was due to being troubled by his mother and younger sister’s schemes, Cai Wei hadn’t expected that he was actually worried about her future. She also knew she would outlive him; scientifically speaking: women generally outlive men, and since she was ten years his junior, it was almost certain that he would depart this world before her.
