Chapter 719 - 720"No, I won"t reveal his ident.i.ty!" Wei Yuanwei said firmly, "Your majesty, I"ve told you so much, I just want you to know, that I"m not any threat to you. As long as I find what I want, I will immediately leave the palace!"
"Your words are full of mistakes. Why would I believe you? The more I let you stay in the palace, the greater your threat to me!" In the past five years, although he had become the emperor, he hadn"t slept soundly since he sat on this throne.
There were too many people eyeing the throne covetously.
"If you say that you are Yan Yu Manor"s man, then we will believe that you are Yan Yu Manor"s man, right?" Following the disappearance of Ning Zheyan in the martial arts world, Yan Yu Manor also disappeared, completely disappearing from the face of the earth.
"Your majesty, actually, none of this is important. What"s important is your life!" Wei Yuanwei said very sincerely.
It wasn"t easy for him to become the Emperor. How could he bear to die at such a young age?
"Your majesty, this person is right. Your majesty"s dragon body is the most important!" Imperial Physician Song said carefully from the side.
The atmosphere here was too depressing and unbearable. It was likely that even if they stayed here for a while longer, they would still be older than ten years.
Fu Lu also knew that this woman in front of him was truly different from other women who wanted to kill the Emperor and seduce the Emperor.
The other man also advised, "Your majesty, regardless of whether this woman is speaking the truth or not, what we should investigate the most is whether the poison in your body is actually a poison refined by the Young Master Ning!"
Mu Zhi looked at Wei Yuanwei evilly, the flames that shot out of his demonic eyes seemed as though they wanted to burn Wei Yuanwei to ashes.
"And your majesty, right now, those princes are keeping a close eye on your side. If the news of your majesty being poisoned spreads to those princes" ears, there"s no guarantee that those princes will do something to coerce you!" Fu Lu lowered his head and whispered into Mu Zhi"s ear.
The news that the Emperor was anxious about the arrival of the Imperial Physician Song and Imperial Physician Li had probably reached the ears of the other princes.
Therefore, the more time pa.s.sed, the more the Emperor couldn"t do anything to let the other princes have a chance to make a move.
Mu Zhi"s cold eyes swept over Wei Yuanwei"s body a few times.
How could he not understand this logic?
If he killed Wei Yuanwei, it could be explained as Wei Yuanwei poisoning him, and the result would be discovered by him.
But if he locked Wei Yuanwei up, who knew what the old cunning fox Prince An would think.
"Go and ask Night to catch a poisonous snake. Don"t let anyone else find out!" Mu Zhi said to Fu Lu.
Afterwards, that pair of cold and fierce eyes looked at Wei Yuanwei who was not far away once again. This time, the pair of eyes of the ice spirits carried a bit of remnant scripture and comprehension, and the demonic eyes did not land on Wei Yuanwei"s face, but instead rested on Wei Yuanwei"s fair and tender skin.
Although Fu Lu did not understand what the emperor meant, he still followed his orders.
Imperial Physician Song and Imperial Physician Li stood to the side, trembling. Even though Mu Zhi and Wei Yuanwei did not speak, the oppressive atmosphere made them feel a chill down their spines.
"What"s your name?" The silent atmosphere was broken by Mu Zhi.
"Whatever the emperor likes to call me, it"s called!" Wei Yuanwei said coldly.
"Did you not have a name when you were at Yan Yu Manor"s place?" Mu Zhi"s voice suddenly increased in volume.
"Since the emperor knows that I"m one of Yan Yu Manor"s men, then I naturally won"t reveal my ident.i.ty!"
"Yan Yu Manor"s women all know martial arts, but you … Even though she had some foundation in martial arts … But when compared to the rest of Yan Yu Manor … " Mu Zhi looked at Wei Yuanwei.
"I specialize in poison. If I knew martial arts, I would have been discovered by that person the moment I entered the palace. How would I have killed him then?" Wei Yuanwei replied with reason.
"Why did the Young Master Ning suddenly disappear from the martial arts world?"
Mu Zhi"s question made Wei Yuanwei ponder for a long time, then he lightly blinked his eyes, as if something was revealed halfway. However, it was quickly hidden well by Wei Yuanwei, and she said in a calm voice: "Because he"s dead!"
Mu Zhi didn"t seem to be too surprised by these words. Instead, he said as if he had guessed something, "Looks like you really are Yan Yu Manor"s person. Young Master Ning is indeed dead! His disease will not last for more than a few years! "
Just as Mu Zhi finished speaking, Wei Yuanwei immediately looked at Mu Zhi with her fierce eyes, and held her hands tightly.
There was nothing left in the world that could anger her.
However, only Mu Jin and Ning Zheyan were his weak spots.
He could say that Ning Zheyan was dead, but she definitely wouldn"t allow someone to say those words with such contempt.
Very quickly, Night walked in through the Dragon Spring Hall"s window and took out a green Bamboo Leaf Green Snake that was spitting red snake apricot from its sleeve.
Imperial Physician Song and Imperial Physician Li couldn"t help but swallow a breath when they saw this snake, and the perspiration on their foreheads increased.
His two legs trembled nonstop. Could it be because they knew too much, that the emperor wanted to silence them by killing them?
"Can you dispel this snake poison?" These words were obviously directed at Wei Yuanwei.
"What does the emperor mean by this?" Wei Yuanwei asked vigilantly.
She had randomly caught a poisonous snake. This poisonous snake definitely wouldn"t use it to bite her, and even more so wouldn"t use it to bite someone else. She might very well be his target.
"If you bite me, should I bite you and give it back?" Mu Zhi grabbed the bamboo leaf green, and lightly pinched the head of the snake with his thumb and forefinger, while the snake body was entangled around Mu Zhi"s hands.
Imperial Physician Song and Imperial Physician Li heaved a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn"t biting them.
Any woman would be afraid of snakes, but this was entirely dependent on one"s mental endurance.
"Then, from the looks of it, the Emperor doesn"t intend to lock me up in his cell, but keep me by his side?" Mu Zhi"s intention was very clear.
He told the poisonous snakes to bite her so that he had complete reason to call Imperial Physician Song and Imperial Physician Li over.
As the emperor was bathing, he was almost bitten by a venomous snake that crawled in. Fortunately, the eunuch serving the emperor risked his life to block the emperor"s path. The emperor, mindful of the eunuch"s life, immediately went to find the imperial physician to treat the eunuch.
"You"re really smart!" Saying that, Mu Zhi stood up, holding onto the poisonous snake, he slowly walked towards Wei Yuanwei: "Since you want to find the thing that you lost, then you should sacrifice yourself, right?"
Wei Yuanwei looked at the green Bamboo Leaf Qing in Mu Zhi"s hand, which was spitting snake apricots.
