The sorcerer brought the Gu Worm to my lips. I trembled as I reached out, took the Gu Worm, and swallowed it in one gulp. The moment the Gu Worm hit my stomach, a storm surged within me. I clutched my chest and gagged a few times before collapsing to the ground, gasping for air.
Han Wen was startled by my appearance. She hurried over and embraced me. With a worried expression, she looked at me and said urgently, " Huan, what's wrong with you?" I shook my head, gritting my teeth as I replied, "I'm fine." "Just feeling a bit uncomfortable."
Han Wen furrowed her brows, staring at me for a long time before letting out a sigh. " Huan, I know you're feeling wronged." "But Jiang Zhizhu..." Before she could finish her sentence, I interrupted her. I locked eyes with her and asked each word carefully, "Your Majesty, you truly won't treat me unfairly?"
Han Wen paused for a moment before smiling. She nodded seriously and said, "Of course not. You are my husband; how could I treat you unfairly?" I gazed at her for a long time before slowly smiling. "Alright." "Your Majesty, I trust you."
Han Wen sat with me for a while before leaving. Biqiong came over and helped me up, guiding me to the soft couch. She looked at me for a long time, her eyes reddening. "My lord, you have suffered." I shook my head and smiled as I said, "Not suffering."
"As long as I can live well, it won't be suffer."
I lay on the couch, closed my eyes, and the scene from earlier kept replaying in my mind.
That snow-white worm was now lying in my belly, wriggling continuously.
Just thinking about it made me feel uncomfortable all over.
But I was powerless.
I was just a man, a man abandoned by his family.
In this deep palace, the only thing I could do was obey.
Only by obeying could I have a chance to survive.
This was a truth I understood since childhood.
I just wanted to live.
Later, Jiang Zhizhu came.
He brought a bowl of medicine and looked at me with a smug expression.
He said, "Jiang Huan, didn't expect this, did you?"
"You have your day too."
I stared at him for a long time and couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother, why bother?"
"Even if you kill the Emperor, the throne won't belong to you."
Jiang Zhizhu sneered and looked at me with disdain, saying, "Not belong to me?"
"If it doesn't belong to me, then let my son sit on it!"
I was taken aback by his words.
I furrowed my brows and stared at him for a long time without speaking.
So he wanted his child to ascend to the throne.
Jiang Zhizhu snorted coldly and said proudly, "Jiang Huan, this medicine contains your blood."
"Aren't you afraid?"
I stared at him for a long time and couldn't help but laugh.
"Afraid?"
"Brother, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Jiang Zhizhu squinted his eyes, staring at me for a long time before he smiled.
"Jiang Huan, you can just enjoy your verbal victory for now."
"After all, you won't live much longer."
"When you're dead, I'll see if you can still be so stubborn!"
I shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Then let's wait and see."
Jiang Zhizhu cursed me a few more times before leaving.
After he left, I sat on the soft couch and drank tea.
Biqiong leaned over, looking at me with concern.
"Master, are you alright?"
I shook my head and smiled, "I'm fine."
"That's good to hear."
Biqiong furrowed her brow, staring at me for a long time before saying, "Master, you shouldn't have provoked him just now."
"After all, he is the Emperor."
"You should have given him some leeway."
At her words, I was taken aback.
Give him leeway?
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Biqiong, you're confused."
"In this harem, the one who deserves the least leeway is him!"
The Gu Worm began to take effect within my body.
It continuously devoured my memories while also releasing countless recollections.
Those were all memories belonging to me and Han Wen.
