zChapter 1068 - An Emperor Who Does Not Want To Become A Eunuch Is Not a Good Emperor (1/2)
No one expected that, in the middle of the night, the Emperor would suddenly throw up, and even more unexpectedly, what he threw up was actually a pile of tiny snakes.
Every snake was as long as a palm, as thick as a little finger, they were very small, but there was simply too many of them, so numerous that people would shiver when they took one look, even those Eunuchs did not dare to approach, all of them frozen to the spot. Staring at the Emperor while being separated by the pile of snakes which were thrown up, it was as if the Emperor was a monster, no one dared to approach.
The Emperor felt that his organs were close to being thrown up, but that nauseous feeling still existed, once he opened his mouth, another pile of snakes came out of his mouth.
He was shocked, afraid and disgusted, deciding to close his eyes and not look anymore, he continued to throw up. And Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui who saw this scene from the mattress while in shock, remembered one thing, the Gu Master told her this before, once she discovered the old Emperor throwing up and what he threw up was small snakes, that signified that the Gu technique was dispelled, and the death heart Gu could not be removed, the only possibility was that someone used their life Gu to duel with him causing his life Gu to die before he did.
With the death of the life Gu, the person who raised the Gu could not live, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui understood this. Was that person dead? She did not dare to believe all of this, that person was a Gu Master, how can he die? Someone really duelled with their life Gu? There was really someone whose life Gu was that amazing?
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui felt weak and her teeth were chattering. She was too afraid, once the Gu on the Emperor was removed, would she still have any possibility of staying alive? But he was vomiting snakes now, what should she do?
Seeing the number of snakes on the floor increasing in number and seeing that those palace servants and palace maids did not dare to approach after barging in, she suddenly had an idea to run away!
That’s right, taking the opportunity that the Emperor was not fully awake yet, she had to run quickly, the palace guards in the imperial palace were all people under Xuan Tianmo, she could at least ask them for help.
Once she thought this, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not wait any longer, quickly throwing on her clothes haphazardly, without caring if they were on the right way or not and did not even have time to button up her clothes. She got off the bed like this, then without even putting on her shoes, she ran outside.
The palace staff did not react, they were scared witless by the scene in front of them, how could they still bother about what Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui wanted to do. They only watched what was happening in front of their eyes in a dazed manner, some people even throwing up in disgust. Yue Xiu did react though, seeing her Master run away, she quickly got up from the ground and ran, following behind Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui.
The Emperor threw up until he felt dizzy, but during this period, he could still feel that the person on the mattress had already left. He subconsciously used his hand to feel around and pull, wanting to stop Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, he really wanted to strangle her now. But with his eyes closed, how could be get an accurate position. He was only able to pull off one corner of a piece of clothing and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui flew away like a gust of wind.
The Emperor was very angry, shouting with an “Ah”, but this shout caused the servants to back up a few steps. He finally stopped throwing up, looking up with an angry gaze, saying loudly: “Are We a monster? What are all of you standing there for?” When he shouted this, he still maintained his position of being slumped on the mattress, half his body sticking out, his head raised high. Because his veins were protruding from anger, and moreover, he was enjoying himself earlier and did not wear his clothes, so he looked like a crazy beast, causing everyone watching to be stunned and they did not dare to confirm if this person in front of them was the Emperor or not.
The Emperor felt very helpless, even though he was the ruler of everything, even though the servants were his, but why was it when he needed them the most, everyone was afraid of him? “Zhang Yuan! Where’s Zhang Yuan?” He shouted loudly, his memories interweaving, and quickly remembered the situation behind why Zhang Yuan was not at Zhao He Hall. He gritted his teeth and had a stronger urge to tear Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui apart, his Xiao Yuan Zhi, he actually treated his Xiao Yuan Zhi that way, and even sent him to the Department of Guilty Servants, going to that place, wouldn’t he be exploited until only skin was left? The Emperor grew more alarmed thinking of this and quickly shouted: “Go! Quickly go to Jing Ci Palace and summon Zhang Yuan to me!” At this kind of time, everyone was afraid of him, everyone was afraid of the snakes on the floor and no one dared to approach. But the Emperor knew, as long as Zhang Yuan was around, even if he threw up something even more poisonous, Zhang Yuan would rescue him without hesitation. Only his Xiao Yuan Zhi would not fear anything for his sake, all these servants were useless!
Once they heard that the Emperor wanted to look for Zhang Yuan, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief, then all of them swarmed out of the inner hall of Zhao He Hall, running towards Jing Ci Palace. As long as they could leave this place, regardless of what task it was, they would fight to carry it out.
The Emperor’s gaze dimmed, he did remember those servants, there was that one known as Wu Ying, wearing the same clothes Zhang Yuan wore before, that was the new Head Eunuch he promoted during those days he was feeling hazy. Fuck, was he blind or was he stupid? How could he promote this person to replace his Xiao Yuan Zhi? His Xiao Yuan Zhi only stopped Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui and he sent him to the Department of Guilty Servants?
The people cleared out from the hall and the nausea the Emperor felt decreased by a lot. Those snakes on the floor still made for an alarming sight, but the good thing was that those were all dead snakes and would not crawl around, and at this moment, he did not have the leeway to care about the snakes. His mind was filled with the various events which had occurred during those days, and he grew more alarming thinking about them. What was wrong with him? Why was he suddenly obsessively in love with Imperial Yuan Gui to that extent? And that Old Eighth, he could clearly remember sentencing him to an execution at the beginning, why did he release him suddenly? Not only did he release him, he even bestowed such glory onto him? During the New Year Imperial Banquet, he even carried out a Concubine Gui promotion and promised the Eighth Prince the position of crown prince in the future. All of this, for what reason?
He did not understand no matter how much he thought about it, and what was even more puzzling was, he was healthy, so why would be vomit snakes?
