Chapter 2967: Chapter 2967: Stroke (Part 1)

Wanyan Shang stared wide-eyed at Yang Ruxin, not recognizing her, but her words made him feel a chill all over. He wanted to call for someone, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn’t produce a sound; instead, drool trickled out.

"This medicine works well." Yang Ruxin looked at Wanyan Shang with satisfaction. "At such an old age, why not peacefully spend your later years? Why do you insist on harming so many girls? Who would go to hell if not someone like you?"

"Ah, ah!" Wanyan Shang, in his panic, finally managed to make a sound, but it was just a simple monosyllable.

"Stop with the ah, ah." Yang Ruxin chuckled. "No one can understand you, and even if they did, no one would bother with you because you should have been dead long ago."

Wanyan Shang frowned deeply as he looked at Yang Ruxin, his gaze very complex.

"I’ll nag you for a few more sentences." Yang Ruxin laughed, "Once in hell, remember to repent properly to those girls you harmed; otherwise, you’ll end up being reborn into the Beast Path in your next life."

Wanyan Shang’s mouth twisted even more severely.

Yang Ruxin laughed twice, then suddenly screamed miserably: "Ah..."

As soon as she finished shouting, someone immediately rushed in from outside; it was Wanyan Liang: "Father, what’s wrong?" He glanced at Yang Ruxin next to him and then shouted, "Quick, summon the Imperial Physician."

Soon, a group of Imperial Physicians hurried over and examined the old Emperor thoroughly, finally concluding it was a stroke.

In ancient times, a stroke was a stubborn illness, and even in modern times, it’s still a major health issue; sometimes it doesn’t kill, but it can leave a person incapacitated.

Of course, some recover with care and eventually can take care of themselves, but the likelihood is small. Moreover, this was Yang Ruxin’s doing; how could she possibly let someone recover?

Wanyan Liang was furious, instructing the Imperial Physicians to quickly treat the old Emperor while ordering people to detain Yang Ruxin and directly go capture Prince Consort Residence.

Yang Ruxin was dragged out of the Emperor’s sleeping quarters, and no one knew where she was taken.

The people in the palace were a bit bewildered by these sudden incidents, watching guards come and go without knowing what to do. Thankfully, the Crown Prince was there, preventing them from descending into chaos without leadership.

Yang Ruxin had already changed her appearance and left the palace. Her mission was to bring down the old Emperor, but her target was Gongben Hao; this time, she absolutely couldn’t let him escape again.

Gu Qingheng had been staying by Yang Ruxin’s side all along, solely to safely escort his wife out of the palace.

"Is everything okay on King Yun’s side?" Yang Ruxin still felt a bit uneasy.

"Gu Qiao is also there."

Yang Ruxin nodded, knowing that Gu Qiao was thorough in his work and exceptionally skilled. With his assistance, Qi Jingyun shouldn’t let Gongben Hao escape that easily again.

Prince Consort Residence.

Gongben Hao had been feeling twitchy in his eyelids recently and was somewhat irritated, always having a premonition that something was about to happen. He could operate the Flame Sect for so many years without being discovered because he had his principles—being meticulous and suspicious.

When he heard that several medicine girls in the palace caught cold and fever, coughing, he knew something was going to happen.

Sly rabbits have three burrows, let alone him.

"Father, Mother, we need to find a new place to live." Gongben Hao called Cui Men and Gongben Xiang together. "These days, my premonitions haven’t been good."

"What exactly happened?" Cui Meng frowned.
