Rong Han’s attitude was cold. When he saw the thirteenth princess grabbing his clothes, he immediately pulled back his sleeve and said expressionlessly,

“Your Highness, please conduct yourself with dignity. We can not disobey the empress dowager’s orders.”

The thirteenth princess seemed to have realized that Rong Han would not speak up for her. Her tears were like pearls from a broken string, rolling down from her eyes, “Sob, sob, you’re really too much! I won’t allow you to be so cold to me. I want you to like me and speak up for me!”

The thirteenth princess then handed the sachet to Rong Han.

At the same time, the sound of a flute suddenly came from outside the hall.

A blood-red Gu Worm suddenly drilled out of the sachet and bit Rong Han’s finger!

It was a Gu Worm!

A few words quickly appeared in Gu Qingxue’s mind. When she came back to her senses, her hand was already in front of Rong Han, and she was going to grab the Gu worm!

The legendary Gu Worm did not show any weakness either. It writhed its body with all its might and was about to bite Gu Qingxue.

Just as Gu Qingxue was resigned to her fate, a large hand suddenly reached out and held her small hand tightly, wrapping her entire palm in it. Then, his finger was immediately bitten by a Gu Worm that flew over.

Gu Qingxue’s heart trembled. She quickly took out a silver needle and hit the worm’s tail!

The Gu Worm’s teeth had already bitten through Rong Zhan’s skin and it was trying its best to wriggle its body and enter Rong Zhan’s body.

Fortunately, Gu Qingxue acted in time. She held the Gu Worm’s tail tightly in her hand, and with a flick of the silver needle on her fingertip, the Gu Worm that had already burrowed into Rong Zhan’s body was removed.

“Kill it!” Gu Qingxue threw the Gu Worm on the ground and said loudly.

Rong Han quickly grabbed the plate on the table and threw it hard on the Gu Worm.

With a crisp sound, the blue and white porcelain plate immediately broke into pieces, and the Gu Worm was successfully crushed to death, turning into a pool of stinky blood.

“Your Royal Highness!” Gu Qingxue had successfully forced the Gu Worm out, but she did not have time to relax. She realized that Rong Zhan’s wound was turning purple at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The poison was also spreading rapidly, and soon, Rong Zhan’s eyebrows were covered with a thick aura of death.

“There are poisonous insects! Quick, protect the emperor!” Kang Fujiang, who was standing beside Rong Xiaotian, was shocked when he saw this scene. He quickly called for his guards to protect the Emperor.

“Cousin!” When Gong Lingyu, who was sitting with the other princesses, saw

this scene, she quickly ran over to Gu Qingxue’s side and helped her to help Rong Zhan lie down.

“Xue’er…” The moment Rong Zhan opened his mouth, his red lips turned dark purple, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his lips.

“Your Royal Highness, don’t speak. I let you feign death first to reduce the spread of the poison in your body.” As she spoke, Gu Qingxue quickly sealed a few of Rong Zhan’s major acupuncture points and gave him a pill that could temporarily put him into a state of suspended animation.

After Rong Zhan took the pill, he soon stopped breathing and had a heartbeat. He looked no different from a dead man!

However, the dark purple color on his lips had faded, and the death aura between his eyebrows had faded a lot. His face was as pale as a piece of paper, and the palm that had been bitten by the Gu Worm had completely swelled into a blue-purple color..
