Chapter 33 The Son of God of Chu

The emperor and his ministers of Dayong were struggling to suppress the rebellion. In another country, someone was struggling on the brink of life and death.

"What are you all standing there for? Find a way for me! Find a way now!" The footsteps of trapped beasts sounded, and with anxiety and anger, the middle-aged emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe roared out of control, "If Yu'er has any accident, I want you all to be buried with me! Do you hear me? All buried with me!"

A room full of imperial doctors knelt on the ground, not knowing whether they were cold or scared, their faces were pale and trembling.

"Your Majesty, the poison has already entered the heart of His Majesty the Phoenix King..." The head of the Imperial Hospital summoned up the courage to speak, but he dared not wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. "We are powerless, powerless."

"How dare you!" The emperor kicked him, his irritable temper was completely aroused, and the murderous aura on the verge of losing control was everywhere. "Powerless? This is not what I want to hear! Why do I spend so much money to feed you? If Yu'er has any problems, I will kill all nine clans!"

The imperial doctors fell to the ground in fear, not daring to say anything more.

Several female doctors were kneeling outside the palace, shivering, not because of the cold weather, but because of fear, only they themselves knew.

The sixteenth prince of Chu, Ji Weiyu, was of humble origin, and his mother was only a concubine in the harem. However, because he was born with supernatural powers and had the ability to predict the future, he was made an exception by the emperor and was canonized as the Phoenix King. He was in charge of divination for Chu and had a high status, and was deeply respected and admired by his subjects.

Now, apart from the crown prince, the seventeen-year-old Phoenix King is the highest-ranking prince among the princes of Chu. His mother is also fortunate to be one of the four concubines because of her son's many years of favor.

In addition, the Phoenix King has an unparalleled handsome face and a clean and refined temperament like a son of God. The subjects of Chu call him "Your Highness the Son of God", which shows his prestige in the hearts of the people of Chu.

The poisoning of the Son of God indicates bad news for the fate of Chu. Wouldn't the emperor be furious?

"Your Majesty!" A guard with a knife came in quickly, entered the room and knelt down, "There is a woman who is good at poisoning outside. She has poisoned... poisoned six guards to death."

What?

The emperor was furious: "Do you need to report this to me? What are the Imperial Guards for? Kill them on the spot!"

"She...she said she could save the Phoenix King..." The guard knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly, "She poisoned because the Imperial Guards stopped her from coming in..."

The emperor was stunned: "She can save the Phoenix King?"

"That's what she said."

In fact, the woman just said that she could save the Phoenix King and asked the Imperial Guards guarding outside the palace to report it. However, the Imperial Guards thought she was lying and wanted to take the opportunity to climb up to the Phoenix King's Palace, so they wanted to drive her away.

Unexpectedly, the woman poisoned several Imperial Guards directly, and in the blink of an eye, she poisoned several Imperial Guards.

And she also said: "Go in and report it. These people still have a chance to survive, otherwise..."

The Imperial Guards had never seen such a daring woman. They were about to take her down, and then the woman raised her wide sleeves and knocked down several more in an instant.

There was really no other way, he could only come in and report at the risk of being beheaded.

A woman who is good at poisoning?

The emperor said solemnly: "Bring her in."

"Yes."

Not long after, a woman in red clothes arrived at the main courtyard of the palace under the vigilance of many imperial guards. The woman wore a veil hat, and the veil hanging around her covered her face. Only the long skirt made her figure slender and exquisite, and her demeanor outstanding.

The woman stepped into the room and looked at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground. After a moment, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at the Emperor of Chu through the veil: "I can cure the poison that King Feng is in."

"Who are you?" The emperor looked angry and majestic, "Don't you know you have to kneel down when you see me?"

"Your Majesty, do you want me to kneel down for you, or do you want me to cure King Feng's poison?" The woman said coldly, "You can only choose one of the two."

"Bold!"

"I am really brave." The woman's voice was a little more casual, with a hint of mockery, "Otherwise I wouldn't come to King Feng's mansion alone."

"Who are you?" A eunuch asked angrily, "You have no manners in front of the emperor, do you want to die?"

No one spoke.

The woman seemed not to hear his shouting, and stood silently.

The eunuch frowned and looked at the emperor uneasily.

Perhaps because she showed too special a demeanor and a bad temper, the emperor believed it a little, because he had heard that many masters in the world had more skills and weirder tempers.

So the emperor suppressed his anger and calmed down a little: "Can you detoxify?"

"Yes."

"Do you know what poison the Phoenix King was poisoned with?"

"I don't need to know, because any poison can be detoxified."

She was quite arrogant.

The imperial doctors kneeling on the ground tilted their heads quietly and looked at this woman who didn't know whether to live or die.

She can save the Phoenix King? What a joke?

The imperial doctors in their entire imperial hospital are powerless, can she save him?

Does she think she is a god?

The poison in the Phoenix King has penetrated deep into his lungs, and no medicine can cure it. How can she, a little woman, save the Phoenix King?

The emperor asked in a deep voice: "What if I can't detoxify it?"

"I guarantee it with my life." The woman said calmly, "If I can't save the Phoenix King, I am willing to be torn into pieces by five horses."

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of gasps in the hall.

This woman who doesn't know how to live or die, she is simply... simply...

"I will give you a chance." Whether it was because of his illness or because he saw the last glimmer of hope, the emperor could no longer care about anything else and ordered coldly: "If you can really save the Phoenix King, I will definitely reward you greatly."

"Your Majesty!" The head of the Imperial Hospital raised his head in a hurry, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done! She is just a little girl, how could she possibly save His Majesty the Phoenix King? This girl's origins are unknown, who knows what she is up to——"

"Anyway, there is no worse outcome, right?" The woman interrupted him calmly, "Perhaps the Imperial Hospital has a better way to cure the Phoenix King's poison?"

The imperial physician was speechless.

"Time is limited, no time to waste." The emperor urged coldly, "Hurry up."

The woman nodded to the emperor, her tone cold and unyielding: "Please ask everyone to go out, including the emperor."

"You--"

The cold voice continued: "The emperor can ask the imperial guards to guard this room, and the archers can also be prepared. If I can't save the Phoenix King, the emperor can ask them to shoot me to death here with arrows."

The emperor stared at her silently, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her. In a moment, he ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone go out!"

The imperial physician's face changed drastically: "The emperor, please think twice, the Phoenix King's body is precious--"

"Whoever persuades again will be responsible for detoxifying the Phoenix King." The emperor said coldly, his tone full of impatience, "Otherwise shut up!"

After the voice fell, it was as quiet as a chicken.

The emperor drove everyone out, and he followed him out. After hesitating for a moment, he half-closed the door.

In a flash, only the woman with a veil was left in the Phoenix King's bedroom.

After a moment of silence, she turned around and looked around. After making sure there was nothing unusual, she walked into the inner hall and lowered the curtain to completely block out any possible peeping from outside.
