Chapter 92: Chapter 67: You’re Not the Emperor! (2)

“Impossible!”

“Previously, Prime Minister Yang said that Emperor Zhengyong had already ingested my specially made Dragon and Snake Gu. As long as I activate the Mother Dragon Gu, Emperor Zhengyong will be under my control!”

“Unless, you are not Emperor Zhengyong!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a few guards showed no reaction, but Zheng Yi’s expression subtly changed.

Zheng Yi further sneered, “Charlatan from the Martial World, resorting to all sorts of tricks! I remember now, you are one of Yang Ni’s remnants!”

“How dare you slander me, kill him on the spot!”

“Yes!”

The leading Imperial Guard shouted, awakening his three colleagues, who immediately charged at Zhai Fang with their blades.

“Too bad!”

Zhai Fang cursed under his breath and suddenly pointed to both sides with his hands.

“Stop them for this real one!”

“Pfft!”

“Pfft pfft!”

Suddenly, the two little boys who had hidden at the edge of the room let out strange cries. Their entire bodies turned pitch black, and black scales grew from their skin, transforming them into half-human, half-insect Gu People, who lunged at the Imperial Guards.

Zhai Fang himself shook the gourd, leather pouch, and vine cage he was wearing.

In an instant, dozens of Gu Insects of various shapes fell to the ground and began to rush toward Zheng Yi with a ’rustle.’

Zheng Yi, cautious and alert, retreated a step.

Four little eunuchs appeared from the outside to shield Zheng Yi.

Just as these Gu Insects were about to reach Zheng Yi, a blood-red insect suddenly emerged from his clothing.

Blood Moon Gu!

“Screech!”

The Blood Moon Gu emitted a series of piercing cries, and the bodies of the advancing Gu Insects suddenly trembled violently, coming to a halt.

Some weaker Gu Insects rolled over, letting out a strange call, their head fluids streaming freely, and instantly, they were scared to death!

“Gu King?!”

Zhai Fang’s face turned ashen as he exclaimed, “How do you have a Gu King?”

“No, it’s Spirit Gu!”

“You actually have a Spirit Gu…!”

Zheng Yi frowned and immediately flicked his hand, “Go!”

“Screech…~!”

The Blood Moon Gu shot out instantly, transforming into a red flash, and dashed to Zhai Fang’s front.

“Damn it!”

Zhai Fang retreated, his body flickering, producing several obviously stronger Gu Insects.

Unfortunately, they were all bitten to death by the Blood Moon Gu one by one.

“Screech~!”

“Pfft!”

Suddenly, the Blood Moon Gu in mid-air opened its mouth and spat out a crescent blade of red light, immediately shooting towards Zhai Fang’s forehead.

The moonlight pierced through Zhai Fang’s forehead and even created a crescent-shaped hole in the wall behind him.

Suffering such a critical blow, Zhai Fang’s body swayed before he ultimately fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.

Instant kill!

The Blood Moon Gu’s first attack instantly killed Zhai Fang, who was imbued with strange Gu Insect heritage!

With Zhai Fang’s control gone, the two Gu People let out miserable cries and were successively cut down by the Imperial Guards.

“Take the body out! Gather all items on it for me.”

“Yes!”

Several people quickly carried Zhai Fang’s body out and cleaned up the ground.

“Screech~!”

The Blood Moon Gu also flew over and started devouring the Gu Insects on the ground.

After all, it was a Gu Insect, with a penchant for devouring its kind.

“In-insects…!”

“So many insects!”

“So many insects…!”

The Empress Dowager suddenly screamed, her hand tremblingly pointing at the Blood Moon Gu feasting on its kind, and she swooned directly.

“Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager?”

Zheng Yi quickly caught her and called for help, laying her on the bed.

“Summon the Imperial Physician!”

“Yes!”

The Imperial Physician soon arrived to treat the Empress Dowager.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yi, frowning tightly, arrived at the hall of Cining Palace.

“Summon everyone in Cining Palace!”

“Yes!”

Soon, eunuchs, palace maids, and aunts, large and small, knelt all over the floor of Cining Palace.

Zheng Yi asked coldly, “That Zhai Fang was Yang Ni’s remnant, who brought him into the palace?”

“You-your Majesty, we don’t know.”

“I don’t know either!”

“It seemed to be Aunt Huazhi, someone saw her leaving the palace quietly and bringing in a man in black.”

“Yes, it was Aunt Huazhi, I saw it too!”

“Aunt Huazhi?” Zheng Yi frowned, “Where is she?”

“Don’t-know.”

“She was just here a moment ago!”

“Find her!”

“Yes!”

The Imperial Guards and eunuchs began searching the vast Cining Palace, eventually making a discovery.

“Your-Your Majesty, we found her!”

Soon, a guard rushed in: “Reporting to Your Majesty, we found Aunt Huazhi’s body in the lake in Cining Palace’s backyard.”

“According to the state of the body, she died approximately an hour ago, just as we killed the rebel Zhai Fang!”

“Does the trail end here?”

Zheng Yi’s face turned exceedingly grim, and he immediately asked, “Is there any other information?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, none.”

Zheng Yi took a deep breath and looked at the guard before him, “What is your name?”

This was the guard who first recognized the Gu Insects beneath Zhai Fang and personally killed him.

The guard, suppressing his emotional excitement, promptly responded, “Reporting to Your Majesty, I am Tang City!”

“Tang City?”

“How do you recognize Gu Insects?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, I am originally from the Shu Region and once traveled in Nanyue County for three years, so I am quite familiar with some common Gu Insects.”

Zheng Yi nodded and said, “Very well, from now on you shall be the First-grade Imperial Guard, commanding all Imperial Guards!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Tang City immediately declared, “I shall do my utmost to protect Your Majesty!”

Just then, the Imperial Physician cautiously stepped outside, kneeling, “Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has awakened.”

“Oh? How is the Empress Dowager’s health?”
