The first thing the King of Xiliang did when he woke up was to clear Wanyan Xi's name. He thought that Wanyan Xi would not kill his mother. However, Qi Ruoshui's trusted officials in Xiliang felt that they should not help him. Even if Wanyan Xi did not kill his mother, it was a fact that he was forced to abdicate the throne. All the officials saw him leading troops to attack the palace. This was a crime of rebellion and he could not be tolerated.
At this time, the King of Xiliang already knew that Qi Ruoshui was behind everything. Although he could not remember what he had done, he knew that Qi Ruoshui must have used him to control the entire court.
If he continued to let Qi Ruoshui's minions infiltrate the court, Xiliang would fall into Qi Ruoshui's hands sooner or later.
"Mr. Huangfu, can you do me a favor?" The King of Xiliang asked Huangfu Chen in a low voice. Huangfu Chen saved his body every day so that he could barely stay awake. Otherwise, he would have fallen into a coma.
"Your Majesty, please tell me." Huangfu Chen said lightly. In the past, he did not like to get involved in any national affairs, but now it was different. If he did not help the Prince of Xiliang and Wanyan Xi, Qi Ruoshui would get Xiliang. At that time, she would be even more rampant and hurt more people.
Before he went to find Qi Ruoshui, he had to help the King of Xiliang stabilize his power.
The King of Xiliang said in a low voice, "Qi Ruoshui has been plotting in Xiliang for a long time. Many people were bought over by her. Even if she is not in Xiliang, those people will still work for her. I need to get rid of them."
"Your Majesty, is there anyone you trust who can do this?" Huangfu Chen asked in a low voice. He understood what the King of Xiliang meant, but it would be difficult for him to do it alone.
"There was originally, but now I am not sure, so I want to ask you for help." The King of Xiliang said.
Huangfu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you can tell me who those people are. I am willing to try my best."
The King of Xiliang wanted to laugh, but he could not help coughing. He said with difficulty, "Mr. Huangfu, you can do it."
"Father." Wanyan Xi came in from outside. When he was locked in the dungeon of the Priest Hall, he did not suffer any torture. He could recover after resting for two days in the palace. He had already begun to manage the court affairs for the Prince of Xiliang. Although the ministers did not listen to him, he had stopped the Priest Hall from continuing to dominate.
"Let Xi 'er lend you a hand," the King of Xiliang said to Huangfu Chen.
Wanyan Xi looked at Huangfu Chen in confusion. He didn't know what King Xiliang meant. He smiled and said, "Father, Uncle is already on his way back."
The Prince of Xiliang smiled and fell asleep in exhaustion.
"Mr. Huangfu, what does my father mean?" Wanyan Xi asked in a low voice.
"Consolidate the royal power," Huangfu Chen said in a low voice and asked Wanyan Xi to follow him outside to talk.
Ye Zhen held the medicine in her hand and looked down at Murong Ke. He didn't seem to be afraid at all. He didn't worry that if there was a problem with her medicine, he would never wake up. Instead, she hesitated to send the medicine to him.
"Yao Yao, what's wrong?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
"What if he doesn't wake up?" Although Ye Zhen knew that there was no problem with the medicine, she was still worried.
Murong Ke smiled and said, "So what if he doesn't wake up?"
Ye Rou looked up at him. "I haven't forgiven you. If you don't wake up, I won't forgive you."
"I'll wake up." Murong Ke promised with a smile. "Yao Yao, don't feel guilty. I saved you willingly. If I die, the person who hurt me is Qi Ruoshui."
"Drink the medicine." Ye Zhen said, "I won't feel guilty."
Murong Ke looked at her and smiled. He took the medicine from her hand and drank it in one gulp.
Ye Zhen's face was a little pale. She looked at him nervously and turned to take a copper basin and put it in his hand.
"Yao Yao, go out." Murong Ke patted Ye Zhen's hand and called Teng Ye in.
"I'll stay." Ye Zhen whispered. "I'm your doctor."
Teng Ye came in and saw the copper basin in Murong Ke's hand. He asked doubtfully, "What is this for?"
Murong Ke's face suddenly turned black, even his lips were black. He looked as if he had been poisoned. Teng Ye's face suddenly changed. "Lu Yaoyao, what did you give the Lord to eat?"
"Medicine." Ye Zhen looked at Murong Ke and replied in a low voice.
"What kind of medicine made him like this?" Teng Ye was furious. "If anything happens to him, I won't let you go!"
Murong Ke wanted to shout at Teng Ye, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a fishy taste in his throat and vomited.
The three finger-sized black worms writhed violently in the copper basin and stopped moving after a while.
Teng Ye's face was pale.
Murong Ke didn't have time to speak and vomited again.
The people outside the house heard the movement and came in. When they saw the poisonous worms Murong Ke vomited out, they all turned pale with fear.
"How did those worms get in?" It took Song Jiong a long time to find the courage to speak.
Ye Zhen whispered, "From his mouth."
"What?" Song Jiong covered his mouth and stared at Murong Ke.
Teng Ye couldn't help but ask, "When will the Lord stop vomiting? How many worms does he have?"
Ye Zhen had been staring at Murong Ke's face. Seeing that the blackness on his face had faded a lot, she whispered, "When the blackness on his face dissipates, the worms will be gone."
Murong Ke spat out a few more worms. In addition to the dead worms in the copper basin, there was also black blood. Who would have thought that there would be so many poisonous worms hidden in Murong Ke's body?
"Okay, hold him." Ye Zhen saw that Murong Ke's face had returned to normal and immediately said to Teng Ye.
Teng Ye and Song Jiong stepped forward at the same time. One of them broke the copper basin, and the other helped the unconscious Murong Ke down.
Ye Zhen took out a pill and put it in Murong Ke's mouth. She said to Teng Ye, "If he can wake up in three days, then he is still alive. If he doesn't …"
"If he doesn't wake up, he is dead!" Teng Ye asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. I hope he can wake up." Ye Zhen whispered.
Teng Ye sneered, "His life and death are not important to you at all."
"I'm still here now. Do you think it's important?" Ye Zhen asked faintly. "I'll come to see him tomorrow."
After a day of tossing and turning, it was already dark outside. At this time, she felt tired.
"You …" Teng Ye was dissatisfied with Lu Yaoyao's indifferent attitude. Murong Ke was like this for her. How could she be so calm? Did she not feel sorry for him at all?
Song Jiong put the copper basin aside with a look of fear and whispered to Teng Ye, "Don't talk too much. If the Empress didn't care about the Lord, she would have gone to Qingzhou long ago."
"Shut up!" Teng Ye shouted at him.
