Chapter 155 Almost starving to death
Although it seemed to outsiders that Emperor Beichen was in a coma, in fact, he was just controlled by the insect and could not move, open his eyes or speak, but he could hear the sounds from the outside world.
So as soon as he opened his eyes, he looked at Nangong Yuan with gratitude and guilt. Just as he was about to say something, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Nangong Yuan and Han Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Emperor Beichen open his eyes, but then they saw him spit out another mouthful of blood, and their relieved hearts were lifted again.
Han Yiyi was just wondering if the system had given her fake medicine when she noticed something seemed to be wriggling in the pool of blood on the ground.
"What is that thing..."
Looking at that thing, Han Yiyi couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
When Nangong Yuan heard Han Yiyi's voice, he also lowered his head to look at the ground. Only then did he see a black worm about the length of his little finger wriggling in the blood. Seeing this, Nangong Yuan couldn't help but frowned and subconsciously pulled Han Yiyi behind him.
Han Yiyi couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought that this thumb-sized insect was actually spit out from Emperor Beichen's mouth.
This is Ye Li’s natal Gu, but now that it has left its host, it turned into a pool of blood in just a moment.
Emperor Beichen on the dragon bed naturally also saw the black bugs on the ground, so his already pale face became even paler.
However, his coma was caused by this thing. Now that he has vomited it out, he is much more energetic than before.
Because the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace were all driven out by Nangong Yuan, Emperor Beichen still had a mouth full of blood, and no one helped him to pour a glass of water.
Emperor Beichen saw the two people in front of him, who had no sense of propriety at all and didn't even bother to pour himself a glass of water to rinse his mouth. Nangong Yuan was still acting like a hero saving the beauty, protecting the woman behind him, but leaving him, the emperor, aside. He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly...
But the taste of blood in his mouth made him feel very uncomfortable, especially after seeing the black worm, so he spoke in a bad mood.
"Could you please pour me a glass of water..."
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have just remembered that there was a person lying next to them. Seeing their reactions, Emperor Beichen could not help but be speechless again. He thought to himself, these two guys, didn’t they come here to save me today? They treat me like air now, what are they doing...
In fact, Nangong Yuan did it on purpose, deliberately leaving him aside, and the reason was naturally because of the issue of food and grass.
In reality, the two had known each other since childhood. Nangong Yuan knew that Emperor Beichen was a diligent and caring emperor. Of course, he also knew the place Si Fei held in his heart. If it weren't for the Dongli spy Ye Li, who had disguised himself as Si Fei, he wouldn't have been deceived by her...
Naturally, it was because Nangong Yuan knew the character of Emperor Beichen that he wanted to find a way to let Han Yiyi save his life again. Otherwise, he would not save him just for the sake of the soldiers who died on the border.
When Nangong Yuan heard Emperor Beichen's voice, he seemed to react and hurried to pour water for him.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame me. It was my negligence..."
When Emperor Beichen saw Nangong Yuan's pretentious look, he couldn't help but feel speechless again.
However, he also knew that the issue of food and grass was his fault, and it was because the woman looked too much like Si Fei that he was bewitched. Thinking of Si Fei, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart again.
Emperor Beichen took the tea handed to him by Nangong Yuan. Just as he cleared the taste of blood from his mouth and wanted to say a few words of apology and gratitude to Nangong Yuan, he heard a commotion outside the Yangxin Palace.
Hearing this voice, Emperor Beichen's eyes suddenly flashed with fierceness. He asked Nangong Yuan to help him sit up, and his eyes were fixed on the person who walked in from outside the hall.
Before Prince Yong'an entered the Yangxin Palace, he gave instructions to the guards behind him.
"Surround this place for me. Today I will kill the thief who stole the treasures from the imperial study without a burial place..."
As he said this, he ordered some people to surround the palace gate, and he led the others in to capture Nangong Yuan. However, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw Emperor Beichen sitting on the dragon couch. In just a moment, Prince Yong'an's face turned pale.
"Emperor, Emperor, Brother Emperor, you are awake..."
"What's going on, my royal brother? Are you planning to rebel..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I dare not..." He was so scared that he knelt on the ground.
When they heard the word "rebellion", the guards behind him were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they fell to their knees.
They were really wronged. They heard Prince Yong'an say that someone stole precious things from the imperial study and escaped to the Yangxin Palace, so they thought of coming here to arrest people. But how come they were accused of rebellion as soon as they arrived here?
The guard commander Xiao Guan quickly raised his head to glance at Emperor Beichen lying on the dragon couch. Although he was weak, he no longer looked like he was about to die. He also saw Prince Yong'an kneeling on the ground with a serious look on his face. His eyes flashed and he spoke quickly.
"Your Majesty, please understand. I heard from the prince that thieves stole precious items from the imperial study and fled to the Yang Palace. We were worried about your majesty's safety, so we broke in. I have absolutely no ulterior motives..."
"Yes, my royal brother, I saw Nangong Yuan packing up all the items in the Treasure Pavilion of the Imperial Study, so I thought of bringing people to capture him..."
Listening to Xiao Guan's words, Emperor Beichen glanced at him coldly. He thought he was just a fence-sitter who changed his stance according to the wind. He had no time to pay attention to him now. Instead, he set his eyes on Prince Yong'an who was already trembling with fear.
"Hmph, these are my things, I can give them to whoever I want, and no one else can interfere..."
"Come here, Prince Yong'an colluded with the Dongli spy and tried to murder my life. Arrest him and put him in jail first, and execute him after three days..."
As soon as Emperor Beichen finished speaking, before Prince Yong'an could react, his arm was stopped by Xiao Guan who was standing beside him.
"Royal brother, I am innocent, I am innocent..."
Looking at Prince Yong'an being dragged away, Nangong Yuan raised his eyebrows, then turned to Emperor Beichen and said.
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back to the general's mansion first. My grandmother is still waiting for me..."
Nangong Yuan was right. At this time, Old Madam Nangong was waiting for him to discuss the matter of the two children. However, it was not only his grandmother who was waiting for him, but also a group of beautiful maids.
After hearing Nangong Yuan's words, Emperor Beichen knew that he didn't want to hear his explanation. But whatever, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. He simply didn't have much energy at the moment, so he waved his hand and let them leave...
As soon as Nangong Yuan and the other two left, Emperor Beichen hurriedly gave instructions to the chief eunuch beside him.
"Hurry, go to the imperial kitchen and get me some food..." He was almost starving to death.
