Chapter 248 Beauty Turns to Bones in an Instant
Wang Zhi could only helplessly say, "Your Majesty, the source of that fragrance... seems to be on you."
"You mean it's me?" Emperor Taihe's face darkened instantly. "How is that possible? I think you're confused!"
As he spoke, he sniffed his sleeve in dissatisfaction and was about to continue scolding when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why does he smell so strong?
Could it be that... the source of that strange fragrance is really on him?
But how is this possible!
Just when he thought it was impossible, he suddenly heard an extremely shrill scream.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"
Emperor Taihe was so frightened that he quickly looked in the direction where the scream came from, and it was Empress Chen.
I saw her holding the cell door tightly with both hands, her face was extremely pale, covered in cold sweat, and her body was twisting constantly, as if she was enduring some terrible pain.
Emperor Taihe was just feeling puzzled when he suddenly saw a swarm of insects crawling out of Empress Chen's clothes!
What’s even more terrifying is that those insects are crawling towards him in dense swarms!
Emperor Taihe was so scared that he turned around and ran away. Wang Zhi also did not dare to stay and ran out behind Emperor Taihe.
The two did not notice that after the insects crawled to the place where Emperor Taihe had just stood, they drilled directly into the crack in the ground.
The tightly packed floor was paved with blue bricks, and the gaps were filled with glutinous rice mortar. In the past, even a knife could not easily penetrate it, but now there was inexplicably a gap.
The bugs quickly crawled into the cracks and disappeared.
When Emperor Taihe, who had escaped, found that the bugs had not chased him out, he ordered Wang Zhi to go in and find the whereabouts of those bugs. How could Wang Zhi find those bugs?
He only found that one gap.
This sudden gap made him feel something was wrong, so he quickly drew his knife and stabbed it in tentatively.
The blade easily penetrated the soil beneath the blue bricks, but not deeply.
Wang Zhi drew his knife suspiciously, but did not see any insect corpses.
Helplessly, he could only look at Queen Chen warily, wanting to ask her what had just happened.
Just by looking at it, his expression changed drastically!
Although the person lying in front of the prison door was wearing Queen Chen's clothes, he had a head of dry white hair!
It's clearly a different person!
Wang Zhi panicked and quickly called his men over, ordering them, "Go lift her face and see who this person is!"
The subordinate looked at Empress Chen's clothes and was puzzled: Isn't this Empress Chen? Who else could it be? No, why is her hair white? Could it be...
Thinking of the noise he had just heard, he felt a pang of fear in his heart and hesitated to move forward.
Wang Zhi urged unhappily, "What are you standing there for? Go over and take a look!"
The men had no choice but to cautiously step forward and warily lift the prisoner's face with their sheathed swords.
Then he was shocked to find that this face looked very familiar!
If you look closely, it is clearly the appearance of Empress Chen when she is old!
Wang Zhi also saw this face, and his face turned pale with fear! He almost screamed out loud!
Who is this person?
Could it be that in such a short period of time, the once youthful and beautiful Empress Chen rapidly aged thirty years and became a dying old woman?
This is simply unbelievable!
Wang Zhi pondered for a long time, and then had someone check her face. After confirming that it was real human skin and not a mask, he completely gave up.
He hurried to Emperor Taihe to report the unusual situation.
Emperor Taihe obeyed and was also shocked, finding it unbelievable.
Just thinking of the horrific scene of those bugs crawling out of Queen Chen's body, he didn't have the courage to go in and check what Queen Chen looked like at that moment.
He thought for a moment, then gave the order: "Have the maid who served the Queen closely examine her body and confirm the man's identity!"
After a pause, he added, "Also, carefully check the entire prison and find out the whereabouts of those bugs!"
After saying that, he lowered his eyes to look at the insect repellent sachet hanging around his waist and decided to meet the miracle doctor.
He had clearly been wearing an insect repellent sachet, but he still got bitten today. He didn't know when that bitch Chen Huan had done this.
She was so vicious and arrogant that not only did she attack him and Tao'er, she even wanted to force Jiang Lin to death!
How did the Chen family raise their daughter? Could it be that they specifically trained their daughter to be a vicious woman?
This is true for Chen Fang and Chen Huan as well.
Even the daughter raised by Chen Fang is extremely vicious!
Now it seems that there is no good person in the Chen family!
And that Chen Shou, how dare he defame the palace behind his back!
Switch the princes and confuse the royal bloodline!
He also designed to frame Luo Zheng, wanting him to misunderstand Jiang Lin.
The Chen family is really good, they love to frame others!
Previously, in order to get rid of his stepson Xie Xiu, Chen Fang sent Xu Maochun. Xu Maochun killed two women and wanted to frame Xie Xiu.
This family is really birds of a feather.
The more Emperor Taihe thought about it, the more resentful he became. He warned Wang Zhi, "Inspect carefully and don't let those bugs get out and harm anyone! Otherwise, I'll hold you accountable!"
Wang Zhi immediately knelt down and accepted the order: "I obey your command!"
He was actually very scared, but since Emperor Taihe had ordered a death sentence, he dared not disobey.
Fortunately, when he ordered people to dig open the gap, he successfully found a pile of insect corpses in the soil below.
Although he couldn't be sure that all the insects were here, with these insect corpses, he could finally give an explanation to Emperor Taihe.
Not only that, the palace maids who served Empress Chen closely also confirmed that the old woman was Empress Chen herself after carefully examining her body.
Although this matter was too unbelievable, Wang Zhi still reported to Emperor Taihe.
After hearing this, Emperor Taihe was unable to calm down for a long time.
Wang Zhi found the insect corpse, which finally made him feel relieved.
But Queen Chen suddenly turned into an old woman, which made him feel creepy again.
He asked nervously, "Are you sure it's her? How could she have aged dozens of years in such a short time? Could it be because of those insects? Are poisonous insects so terrifying?"
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he decided to ask the medicine doctor to carefully examine Queen Chen's body.
If those tiny bugs really had such power, how could he feel at ease in the future?
Wang Zhi took the order and went to find Feng Xinyi, asking her to examine Empress Chen.
Fortunately, Feng Xinyi is a woman, so there is no need to avoid suspicion during the examination.
Empress Chen was not dead at this time, but was just unconscious.
Feng Xinyi immediately undressed her and examined her, quickly discovering several small wounds. These wounds were slightly raised, as if something had forced its way out of her body.
Such speculation is simply creepy.
Feng Xinyi took Empress Chen's pulse again and found that she was at the end of her life and did not have much time left.
I couldn't help but secretly be shocked by how powerful these poisonous insects were.
After the inspection, she dressed Empress Chen and told Wang Zhi her findings.
After hearing this, Wang Zhi took her directly to report to Emperor Taihe.
When Emperor Taihe heard Feng Xinyi mention those small wounds, he couldn't help but think of the scene of those insects crawling out. His stomach churned and he vomited directly.
"vomit--"
