Chapter 1080: You Are Poisoned
Ning Shu’s facial color changed. However, in front of all the ministers, she had no choice but to force herself to swallow the blood in her mouth. She waved towards Court Lady Qiu and Court Lady Qiu immediately said, “All withdraw.”
Ning Shu hastily got up to head towards the side palace. Mu Xue glanced meaningfully at Ning Shu’s back, then turned indifferently towards Mu Yao who was in high spirits. “Congratulations, Fourth Imperial Sister, on being able to bring a beauty home.”
“Many thanks, Eldest Imperial Sister!” Mu Yao smiled happily.
Mu Xue just smiled slightly without saying anything.
When Ning Shu got to the side palace, she abruptly vomited a mouthful of blood. She had no idea why she was suddenly puking blood.
She checked her pulse, then her brows furrowed even more. Her pulse seemed to be normal.
“Your Majesty?” Court Lady Qiu was extremely shocked to see Ning Shu vomit blood. Ning Shu wiped at the blood on the sides of her mouth and chin. “Don’t let others find out about this and call an imperial physician over.”
Her symptoms seemed to be that of poison, but that wasn’t possible. She would’ve noticed if she had come in touch with poison. She only knew the very basics of the healing art, but she was pretty proficient in the art of poison. She never imagined that she’d one day be poisoned though.
Ning Shu repeatedly checked her own pulse, but it still didn’t seem like she had been poisoned. Could it be that her skills were just too crappy?
Fudge, it was sure rough to be an emperor. They were always getting poisoned, there were always wicked commoners that wanted to hurt us.
In any case, Ning Shu had no idea how she ended up poisoned.
When the imperial physician arrived, Ning Shu hastily had the imperial physician check her pulse. The imperial physician observed for a while, then shook her head. “Your Majesty’s pulse seems to indicate poison, but at the same time, it doesn’t seem to be poison.”
As the imperial physician spoke, she dipped a needle in the blood that Ning Shu had vomited on the ground. When she saw that the needle changed color slightly, she said, “It’s probably poison.”
Ning Shu waved dismissively to have the imperial physician withdraw, then took out the antidote pills that she had exchanged for beforehand and took one.
She thought that the poison would be cured once she took the pill, but a while later, blood flooded up her throat and into her mouth again. She spat it out.
Ning Shu was a little baffled. How come even the antidote pill from the system wasn’t working?
Her hand was shaking slightly as she wiped the blood at the corners of her lips.
“2333, what’s going on?” Ning Shu called 2333. This situation seemed a bit strange.
“Let me scan your body first,” said 2333, then he fell silent.
Ning Shu was struggling to suppress her impatience. “What exactly is going on?”
“…”
“You are poisoned. Well, more precisely, it’s a curse, and… it’s a product from the system,” said 2333.
Ning Shu: F*ck!
That meant that there was another task-taker in this plane and this task-taker had managed to curse her without her even noticing anything.
“Is there any way to break this curse?” asked Ning Shu.
2333 fell silent.
Ning Shu’s heart chilled. If she died, then this task counted as a failure.
