The emperor coldly said: “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just to prove it.”

Imperial power and imperial orders were greater than heaven.

The things were quickly delivered. Bai Zhi took out a few slices of licorice from the medicinal tea bag held by the eunuch, put them into a bowl with lard, and poured the blood.

Chu Feng’s complexion drastically changed. Licorice, she took the licorice directly.

In other words, she knew?

Chu Feng took two steps back. His complexion gradually becoming gloomy and a little trace of bitterness appeared in his eyes.

The gentle smile that he had been worn on his face for many years was torn off little by little, revealing his true colors.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the bowl of human blood containing licorice and lard. When the bright red blood disappeared, and only lard was left, the complexions of the imperial concubines and imperial doctors, paled in fear.

Where was the blood? There were only licorice and lard left. Where did the blood go?

When Bai Zhi picked up the licorice with a silver needle, the soft worms under the licorice that were full of blood and twisting their body, revealed. Some of the people in the room couldn’t but gasps or screams.

The emperor said: “Come here, let me take a look!”

The eunuch took the bowl over. When the emperor saw the thing, he immediately vomited. However, he couldn’t vomit anything out. His stomach seemed to be empty long ago.

He had eaten meals.

He raised his bloodshot eyes and looked for Chu Feng in the crowd: “Where is he? Where is Prince Xiao?”

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone realized that Chu Feng had disappeared.

Their minds were all focused on these blood-eater worms, so they didn’t notice that Chu Feng had sneaked away.

The emperor was furious: “What are you doing in a daze? Find him quickly, and bring that kid back to me.”

He couldn’t think that the son he loved would do such a thing. They were father and son!

Seeing the painful color in the emperor’s eyes, Bai Zhi suddenly felt so happy. This was called eating one’s bitter fruit.

If it weren’t for his blind doting and not punishing him for making mistakes. How can one’s courage be so fat?

Now he dares to do anything!

If the State of Chu dies, Chu Feng would naturally have the responsibility, but the greatest responsibility was on the emperor.

Imperial Concubine Liang knelt in front of Bai Zhi, crying sadly: “Miss Bai, I beg you, I beg you to save the emperor.”

Bai Zhi frowned. This woman was harming her. When did she say that she would not save the emperor? Her request sounded like she didn’t intend to save the emperor. Does she think the credit will fell on her after doing this?

It’s funny!

Bai Zhi held Imperial Liang Concubine’s arm, lifted her, and said in a low voice: “Niangniang, this young lady can’t afford you to kneel in front of her. The emperor let me enter the palace to cure the disease. This young lady will do her best. Crying and kneeling are useless. You might as well stay with the emperor, talk to him more and keep him awake. This will help fight against the poisonous gu worms in the body.”

Imperial Concubine Liang’s complexion drastically changed. Stay with the emperor? She turned to look at the emperor. Looking at the emperor’s face, his lips were chapped. Those blood-eating worms seem like would crawl out at any time.

She felt sick. She couldn’t help but turn her head and vomit.

The emperor was furious and waved his hand: “Get out, get out of here.”

The other imperial concubines were secretly happy. Imperial Concubine Liang’s clever trick didn’t work. And instead harmed herself. Well, it was great.

The few imperial concubines were anxious to retreat. When they saw Imperial Concubine Liang vomiting, they also wanted to vomit, but they didn’t dare. They could only bear with it.
