Chapter 310: We can ask Prince Weiter
Wei Jiayi is not even his own son, but the emperor understood that being connected to the Sentinel on this way have many advantages.
Though he cannot stop everyone to whisper behind his back regarding Wei Jiayi being his bastard son, at least they should understand now that it will be a stupid idea to mess with the Wei Prince.
As long as Wei Jiayi does not ask for it, the emperor will not take action against anyone. Anyway, the Wei Prince is already capable of punishing offenders on his own.
''Ah! A reward sounds good for Gao Lan Mei!'' The emperor thought to himself. It can be a peace offering to Gao Qi.
This is what Emperor Chen Xizhun is thinking, on the other hand, Empress ming is not sure what to do.
She just hopes that her siding with Li Huan is not that obvious so that she will not be affected by ims against impurities and sorcery.
Empress Ming cannot even look at Li Huan who is still on the ground, like a discarded being, ready to be butchered anytime.
Just remembering why there is too much blood flowing on her body is enough to for her to almost puke with disgust. Worms! Tiny worms that no one would ever expect of.
What if? What if some of those are still in the air? What if they get inside her body? Empress Ming thought dreadfully.
"Ah... Miss Gao, I would like to ask if you don''t mind," Empress Ming spoke softly, trying to be respectful even though she is already fuming inside.
With a smirk, "Go ahead." Gao Lan Mei stated, intentionally not stating the woman''s title as an Empress.
Her lips twitch due to the disrespect. With clench fist and spoke, "If I understood correctly, the poison is carried by the smoke, so what happened to the smoke that just carried in the air?" She asked carefully, trying her best not to show the worry that she feels now as well as anger for Gao Lan Mei.
"You are actually correct. Do not worry, if the worms that are not attached to a living creature with spiritual energy it will eventually die." Gao Lan Mei stated indifferently.
"For how long before that happened? Hmmm... I am actually not sure yet. The poison is still under development. We can ask Prince Weiter when he got back." she added casually.
This may still be a big deal for some, like the Empress or the audience. In truth though, the smoke earlier that is spreading towards the arena already have dead worms as they need to be attached as soon as possible to a living being or beast to even live and consume spiritual energy.
As Li Huan was surrounded by fire earlier, there is a high chance that she won''t inhale any of the poison worms.
It is just pure luck for Gao Lan Mei that Li Huan is very unfortunate to still have some attached to her system despite all the fire around that can easily burn the cranes.
Of course, she will not tell that to anyone aside from Wei Jiayi as she is using him to cover for her.
Why? Well because it is bothersome to deal with anyone else who is interested.
She made the cranes before with runes of to explode when caught on fire. Like fireworks, the poison is something that she was pondering from the Liqi n tried to kill herbined with the tiny snakes from Yen Mingjue, the idea looks promising by just looking at Li Huan.
Well if not for Wei Jiayi''s gifts, especially that special herb that is inside one of the chests in her storage ring, she won''t be able to y around with the worms. It was a test and she is happy with the result.
Too bad it is too messy with all the blood. Next time, she will make sure there is no blood spill.
