158 Have A Look At Custodian Huo (1/2)
Therefore, she could only follow the Emperor. When the royal chariot was about to depart, someone shouted, ”Stop!”
Custodian Huo rushed in front of the royal chariot to block it! Custodian Huo commanded a very high authority in Jiuxing clan. But even the Overlord would need to talk courteously to the Emperor. No one should block the royal chariot or stop the Emperor! What was this mere custodian thinking!?
The Emperor was upset and asked, ”Custodian Huo, what are you trying to do? Do you think you can simply stop in front of my royal chariot!?” His voice was as cold as an iceberg.
Custodian Huo was shocked by this remark and came to his senses. He bent his body in respect and said, ”Sincere apologies, Your Majesty. I’ve been poisoned by Miss Gu! I was panicked… and hence, neglected your dignity.”
”Poisoned?” The Emperor looked at the face of Custodian Huo. He seemed fine with a healthy skin tone and complexion. There was not the slightest hint on his face that showed that did not look or feel well.
”Did you just say you got poisoned? I can’t see any sign of that!”
”Your Majesty, the symptoms are invisible. But the spot where I got poisoned is very itchy…”
”Where is it?” The Emperor started to check him from his head to his legs, but he could not see anything abnormal.
Custodian Huo was frustrated and said, ”My… chest!”
The Emperor looked at the royal physician and said, ”Have a look at Custodian Huo.”
Custodian Huo was an arrogant and conservative man, he hardly fell sick or injured and did not like others to help him. Usually, he would handle his injuries by himself. Hence, no one had seen his body before. But now, he was forced to expose his body in front of this beardy physician. He wanted to reject, but he had no choice as the Emperor did not believe in him.
