Chapter 241 Backlash
Huo Dao poked his head from the roof to see that there was no one in the hall, then he turned over and landed, looking for the secret door just now.

He searched and groped around in the bedroom.

Finally, he found a switch behind a mural, which was probably the switch leading to the secret room, and he turned it on without saying a word.

Sure enough, the door of the secret room opened, and Huo Dao quickly entered inside.

Entering the secret room, the candles were shining brightly on both sides, Huo Dao walked in vigilantly, and came to a corner.

Huo Dao tilted his head slightly to look, and just in time saw Chu Xun with his head down, tied to the pillar with many scars.

He was about to go forward to rescue him, when the two guards inside said, "Prince Chen is really tough, he still hasn't pleaded guilty after all these days."

Another guard said, "I really admire him. He has been beaten for so long with a whip soaked in salt water and he hasn't yelled. He's a man."

Huo Dao understood what the guards said, clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could rush up and beat the two guards into a pulp.

But he restrained his impulse. Before the action, the princess specifically asked not to startle the snake, as long as he found out the news, he immediately withdrew the report, and he could not destroy the plan of the princess.

At this time, the location of the prince is already clear, he can only retreat temporarily, and cannot be exposed.

Huo Dao took a deep look at Chu Xun, squeezed his fist, turned around and left the secret room reluctantly.

Then he marked the door of the secret room so that he would not find it when he came to rescue the prince next time.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The Queen is coming in a hurry.

But the imperial concubine had already barged in at this time, the guards failed to stop the imperial concubine and was severely punished by the empress.

The noble concubine looked at the sickly emperor lying on the bed with a look of sadness on her face.

Just as she was walking to the bed and wanted to wake up the emperor, the queen hurried in and called out, "Sister imperial concubine."

When the imperial concubine heard that the queen had arrived so quickly, she really had to admire the speed at which she received the news. She got up and saluted the queen, "See empress empress."

The queen greeted her with a smile, "My sister is flat, why are you here today?"

"I am worried about the emperor, so I want to come and have a look."

"The noble concubine has a heart, but the emperor's palace will watch, so the noble concubine doesn't have to worry about it, let's go back!"

The imperial concubine saw that the queen was so anxious to drive her away, she was sure that she must have done something to the emperor.

Today, she will definitely leave the genius doctor she specially brought here for the emperor to have a look at, and it is absolutely wrong to take half a step out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The noble concubine leaned over to the queen, "Thank you, sister empress, for being considerate, but it is tiring for my sister to take care of the emperor while taking care of the affairs of the harem. I will leave the matter of taking care of the emperor to this palace, and my sister can concentrate on handling the affairs of the harem."

"I don't feel tired, let me take care of the emperor."

The two spoke one sentence, fighting openly and covertly between words, refusing to give in to each other.

The queen's refusal to back down once again confirmed the conjecture in the imperial concubine's heart, if she hadn't manipulated the emperor, why would she take care of her personally.

The quarrel woke up the emperor for a while.

The emperor shouted in a weak voice, "Shut up."

The two thought they heard it wrong, looked at the emperor, opened their eyes and closed their mouths for an instant.

"The empress has been suffering for the past few days, go back and rest first, and let the imperial concubine accompany me." The emperor said slowly

The imperial concubine was kept by the emperor himself, which made the queen very angry, and she saluted the emperor angrily and left.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

The imperial concubine did not forget to give the queen a farewell gift and demonstrate to her.

After the queen left, the imperial concubine immediately asked the genius doctor who had been pretending to be by her side to see the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is the miraculous doctor that my concubine has found, can you let him have a look at you?" The imperial concubine first asked the emperor what he meant.

The emperor nodded slightly in agreement.

The miraculous doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check, just as he took the pulse, the miraculous doctor frowned.

"Genius doctor, but the situation is not good?" Seeing this expression, the imperial concubine couldn't help but feel a stone hanging in her heart.

"The emperor has been hit by a Gu."

The noble concubine trembled, and asked inexplicably, "Gu?"

"Yes, this is a double-heart Gu. This Gu is only possessed by the Miaojiang people in the Northern Dynasty. This Gu is extremely vicious. Consuming this Gu can make the heart lose its mind, but if another person guides it, If you feed the blood together and then eat it, then the person who feeds the Gu with fingertip blood can use internal force to control the person who takes the Gu, but the person who feeds the Gu will also suffer backlash."

After hearing the genius doctor's words, the noble concubine was very surprised, and knew in her heart the tricks behind the queen's quilt.

Never expected that she would be so bold and reckless that she would be so cruel to the emperor.

The noble concubine felt sorry for the emperor suffering from this crime, so she hurriedly asked the divine doctor, "Is there a way to get rid of this poison?"

The genius doctor shook his head and sighed, "Mother, forgive me for my ignorance, there is no way to solve this Gu, but the villain can temporarily restrain the poison of this Gu from spreading."

"Can you continue to control the emperor if you suppress it?"

"As long as the emperor's willpower is strong, the opponent will not be unable to control it, but it will speed up the backlash of the Gu breeder."

The noble concubine looked at the emperor, a little worried about whether the emperor's current body could handle the manipulative control.

The emperor on the bed heard it very clearly, he nodded to reassure the imperial concubine, "I can."

Then the miracle doctor began to heal the emperor.

On the other side, the overwhelmed queen wanted to go back to the bedroom and continue to manipulate the emperor, but this use of internal force made her vomit blood.

"What's going on here? How did the backlash change so fast?"

The queen, who didn't know the reason, didn't care about why this happened, so she quickly called her personal maid and quickly took out the medicine to suppress backlash.

I feel a lot better after taking it.

No one in the palace knew about this Gu, so why did she backfire so quickly?

Could it be that the emperor himself has the consciousness of restraint and control?
It seems that another day I have to find a chance to see the situation of Gu on the emperor.

The queen thought so.

After the miracle doctor healed the emperor, he saw that there was nothing unusual about the emperor.

So he asked the maidservants around him to send someone to pay close attention to the queen's movements, and to report immediately if there was any movement, without delay.

Then he asked the spies to send a letter to Ji Jiaoyue about everything that happened today.

After receiving the letter, Ji Jiaoyue was very surprised that there is such a poison in this world.

But as soon as she thought that the queen was so vicious, she began to worry about Chu Xun's safety. Even the emperor could do this, and she was even more worried about Chu Xun's situation.

Huo Dao hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know what information he has found.

While thinking about it, Ji Jiaoyue wrote back to the noble concubine, and asked her if she could find a way to see how Chu Xun's situation was!

Just when I was about to send the letter out.

Huo Dao came back with red eyes.

He knelt down on both knees, and quickly admitted his mistake to Ji Jiaoyue, "Princess, my subordinates are incompetent, and there is no way to rescue the prince."
