Chapter 2968: Chapter 2968: Safe and Sound (2)

"A few days ago, some merchants from Daxuan went to pay their respects to the Crown Princess Consort." Gongben Hao felt something was amiss, "And now the medicine girl prepared for the Emperor in the palace caught a cold and can’t be used."

"How could this happen?" Gongben Xiang also frowned, "Is someone working against us?"

Gongben Hao nodded: "Therefore, we need to make two preparations."

"Alright." Cui Meng, keen on survival, had just reunited with the man she loved and naturally didn’t want to die, so when her son suggested leaving, she nodded immediately.

Saint Lord Gongben Xiang had no objections either.

Gongben Hao sent his trusted Moxie to escort his parents away from the Prince Consort Residence.

At this time, the people stationed outside returned: "Young Master, it’s not good."

"What happened?" Gongben Hao took a step forward.

"The Emperor has had a stroke, and the Palace is now under the control of the Crown Prince."

Gongben Hao’s face immediately twisted.

"Young Master, you should leave quickly too." Chi She came to persuade Gongben Hao, "As long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood."

Gongben Hao clenched his fists, Wanyan Liang? Unexpectedly, he really has the audacity, daring to kill the king and his father!

"Prince Consort, it’s bad, our Prince Consort Residence is surrounded." The butler hurriedly ran in, "It’s the Crown Prince Residence Guards."

Gongben Hao closed his eyes briefly: "Who gave Wanyan Liang such courage?"

"I gave that courage." At this moment, a man in white clothes walked in slowly, smiling slightly at Gongben Hao, "Fifth Royal Brother, long time no see, I hope you’ve been well."

"Qi Jingyun?" Gongben Hao’s face changed immediately, "How... how could it be you?"

"Hehe." Qi Jingyun laughed lightly, "Why couldn’t it be me?"

Gongben Hao frowned, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Actually, calling you Fifth Royal Brother isn’t really appropriate anymore, but how should I address you? Gongben Hao? Hehe, I never expected you to be from Wa Country, let alone that you are Flame." Qi Jingyun sighed, "Concubine Mother really planned well, and to endure for so many years is truly admirable."

"Enough with the nonsense." Gongben Hao squinted slightly, "I still underestimated Yang Ruxin." The appearance of those medicinal wines indicated that woman had surely come, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to see through it.

"But I have never overestimated you." Yang Ruxin, having left the Palace, now appeared in her true form, walking in alongside Gu Qingheng, "You’ve committed many atrocities; it’s time to account for them with everyone."

Behind them were Gongben Xiang and Cui Meng, forced to return.

"Haha." Gongben Hao laughed, "Do you really think I’m afraid of you? You really..." His words trailed off, as he suddenly felt his inner strength slowly dissipating.

Chi She hurriedly reached out to support Gongben Hao.

Gongben Hao pushed him away, but found his body gradually becoming weak.

"Timing is just right." Yang Ruxin nodded, "It seems you’ve really consumed my Divine Sauce and medicinal tea and wine."

"So it was you." Gongben Hao coughed twice, "What did you do?"

"Aren’t you familiar with Poisonous Insects?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Didn’t you know I put those insects in my things? I have the Mother of Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects inside me; those little creatures are quite powerful, and what you consumed were all her offspring."
