Chapter 317: I Might Know How They Died
Qi Yu tore the paper into shreds, crumpled it up, and set it on fire.
She massaged her aching brow, feeling increasingly that this matter was troublesome.
Chen Shi probably didn’t know that he had unwittingly administered a Poisonous Insect to the Empress.
And the person infected by this type of Poisonous Insect would become more capricious and unpredictable than ever before.
The Poisonous Insect would grow slowly in her stomach, resembling a fetus, and its nourishment would come from human blood.
In other words, the Empress was nourishing this dead fetus with her own flesh and blood.
Qi Yu recalled the few times she had seen the Empress, and wondered if it was her misconception, but thinking about it now, she indeed felt that the Empress’s complexion had become increasingly pale.
If this continued, the Poisonous Insect would eventually drain her last drop of blood and then burst forth from her belly, bringing calamity to the world.
The royal family of Tulan was naturally aware of this fact, which was why they would be extremely careful to poison the insect before it grew too large.
However, the medicine itself was also greatly detrimental to the human body, essentially being a double-edged sword.
