Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife
chapter-1068-30041322

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?

Too many questions circled in the Emperor’s mind, he sat up from the mattress but was still in a daze, forgetting to put on his clothes, continuously thinking about the ridiculous things he did during these days over and over in his mind.

The more he thought, the more he panicked, the more he thought, the sadder he felt, especially the favours he bestowed on Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui during those nights again and again, causing him to feel that he was especially disgusting and filthy. He rubbed his own hands, then rubbed his own body subconsciously, as if he wanted to rub off a layer of his skin, but even if he did that, that feeling of filthiness did not go away, the perfumed scent from Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was still wafting around this bed and he was unable to avoid it.

The Emperor was a little frantic, a few months have already passed, him being this ridiculous, with Yun Pianpian being that smart, it was impossible for her not to know. What should he do now? Did he still have a way out of this?

The old Emperor slumped onto the bed, feeling troubled, weeping bitterly, feeling fear, hatred and helplessness. He caused the imperial harem to become like this, how could he face his Pianpian in the future? The two of them had such great developments, he could enter the Winter Moon Palace now, but unexpectedly, he suddenly became muddled, and personally destroyed the hopes he built up with much effort for over more than twenty years. He favoured Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui again and let his Pianpian down. With his Pianpian ignoring him again, what was the point of him living on?

The Emperor’s mind was messed up and thought of many methods in an instant, denying all of them in the end. There were no methods to cleanse his sins, no methods to make his filthy body pure again. He looked down, that place where men were proud of, now it looked so dirty, an eyesore, and…… unnecessary.

The Emperor suddenly overreacted, he felt that he was really pushed into a corner, this body was so filthy that he felt disgusted, he scorned himself, what was the point of keeping it?

He got off his bed and ran to the wall, a treasured blade was hung there, he used it on the battlefield to kill his enemies when he was young. For so many years, that Xiao Yuan Zhi would personally wipe it, it was shiny and still sharp!

The Emperor pulled the sword off the wall, once the sword was pulled out of its sheath, without any hesitation, he stabbed towards his lower body with great force.

With this attack, he really used a great deal of determination, he did not even leave any bit, seeing his ‘lifeblood’ get cut off cleanly with one strike, falling on the floor with a ‘plunk’, at the same time, the blood at his lower body started to spurt out, dyeing the floor very quickly.

The Emperor felt a little dizzy and sat down in that pool of blood, seeing the “brother” which had accompanied him for most of his life, his expression was that of rejection.

“All of this mess was caused by you!” He stared at that thing and mumbled to himself, “Why were you unable to control yourself? Why can’t you clearly discern who you’re facing? You’re too dirty, We have to abandon you, it was Us who let you down, don’t blame Us. Die without worry! We will accompany you one day, and that day…… might be soon!”

As the old Emperor spoke, he felt wave after wave of dizziness, he looked for a desk leg and leaned against it, watching the main gate of Zhao He Hall, it seemed like someone had ran in and was approaching. Finally, a sad and shrill shout was heard, it was familiar, it was his Xiao Yuan Zhi, currently he was shouting: “Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

Zhang Yuan flew into the room and completely ignored the snakes which were still on the floor, and even rushed in front of the Emperor while stepping on piles of snakes along the way. Seeing that blood covered floor, and the sword the Emperor was still holding in his hand, and that thing which had fallen on the floor which was familiar yet foreign to him, he suddenly understood everything, he knelt in front of the Emperor, crying while speaking: “Your Majesty! Amends can still be made if mistakes were committed, cutting that thing off, it won’t grow back! Your Majesty! How can you do this? Are you crazy?”

It had been a few months, Zhang Yuan’s feelings were bottled up and there was no way to release them, he cried every night while feeling aggrieved, hoping everyday that the Emperor would wake up and the days from before could return.

And today, finally someone barged into Jing Ci Palace and frantically said that the Emperor wanted to see him, and unexpectedly, when the two of them met again, this old Emperor actually did such a stupid thing. This…… alright! An Emperor who did not want to become a eunuch was not a good Emperor? From now on, the Emperor was finally the same as him.

Seeing this scene, the Empress who came after Zhang Yuan also got a huge shock, but the good thing was that she was level-headed in comparison and her mind came up with a countermeasure quickly. She commanded loudly: “Someone! Send a decree from This One, declare that Princess Yu Feng Yuheng and ex-imperial physician Yao Xian are to enter the imperial palace immediately!”
