Empress with no virtue |LK ADAPTATION|

CHAPTER 98

Ji Jungkook wanted to go out of the palace, but this matter was severely negated by Ye Lisa.

Ye Lisa knew that his purpose was to go to the south to find Teng Yi to break the gu. She was also eager for him to be able to get rid of that nuisance and pull out the insect soon, but Ji Jungkook was in poor health beyond recognition, plus the blow from Empress Dowager. Now he simply resembled a paper lantern, might be blown by the wind at any time. This trip was 2,000 li(1) to the south, the road passing the mountain was dangerous and the river was hazardous. Repeating over and over again on this point, the conclusion was that they could not afford it. Even if in the end he reached Miao village and by any chance met Teng Yi, but once knowing that he was the emperor, not only would he not break the gu, but Teng Yi might even gave him another poisonous insect seed......

Ye Lisa's idea was that she, as the wife of the victim, would go to Miao village in Qian Nan and request Teng Yi to come. It was easier for pregnant woman to get sympathy. It could be used as proof too that the person under gu had wife and child and receiving gu was completely disaster. Those were more convincing when facing Teng Yi.

Ji Jungkook firmly disagreed. No need to say anything, Ye Lisa was pregnant and could not tolerate the least bit mishap. She should be surrounded and protected and must not go anywhere.

Both of them came to disagreement on this matter and temporarily no one gave way to the other. After delayed for several days, Ji Jungkook's health was getting worse, the frequency of coughing blood increased. Ye Lisa worries affected her pregnancy. The Taiyi anxiously told her thrice a day that she had to maintain her mind entirely free from worry.

Seeing the other side's suffering, finally they used the simple rock–paper–scissors method to decide who was going or staying.

Result: Ji Jungkook won and personally went to the south to seek treatment.

Ji Jungkook was a very thorough person. Before leaving, he issued an imperial edict and also a secret imperial edict. The edicts said in case that he could not return, the child in Ye Lisa's belly would become the crown prince, succeed the throne and inherited the great treasure, no matter whether the child she gave birth was boy or girl. Before the crown prince officially ascended the throne, Ye Lisa temporarily acted as regent and supervised the country.

He handed over the whole country to her hands.

Holding that light silk letter, Ye Lisa only felt the heavy weight. Her eyes turned red and she said to Ji Jungkook, "Tell me, what's the function of this babbling nonsense? Coming back soon is proper!"

Ji Jungkook took her into his chest and gently rubbed her hair, "Lisa...... If I am really dead, you may remarry after the new emperor ascends the throne."

Ye Lisa pushed him away and seriously said, "Ji Jungkook, if you really leave me, I will not remarry. I will live a lifetime suffering in pain, grieving to the extent of wishing to die, it would be better to die than to live."

Only hearing her said this, Ji Jungkook had awfully regretted. He caressed her face and said, "I will certainly return, wait for me."

"En," Ye Lisa nodded. She took the initiative to return to his embrace and put her arms around his waist, "I've been thinking of another and I've been puzzled all along."

"What?"

"Bai Xiang Ru said she had given you the gu a long time ago. Why was the time of the gu insects showing effect after more than half a month? I asked Da Xing and he said that normally Peach Blossom gu will react the next day after the gu is descended."

"I also don't understand, maybe it's different for each person?"

"No. Even if your will is firm, it will not conflict with the onset of the gu insects, and at most you will be able to stay awake and restrain your conduct. To be honest, I suspect you have eaten something before and suppressed the effect of the gu insects. You think about it, have you eaten anything special?"
