TFWYH – Chapter 700 Successful Exorcism

Prime Minister Gu grew increasingly dissatisfied with Ling Yu.

He had even begun to harbor murderous intentions toward him.

Huangfu Rongan stared at the tightly shut doors, biting her lip from time to time as she racked her brains, trying to figure out how to force the poison down Huangfu Ronglan’s throat.

As long as Huangfu Ronglan died, no one would be able to threaten her position.

While chatting and laughing with Ling Yu, Huangfu Xiao kept a close eye on Huangfu Rongan’s expressions.

This niece of mine is rather foolish…

He had already paved the way for her, yet she still didn’t know how to proceed.

Forget it.

I’ll help her one more time.

With a calm expression, Huangfu Xiao said to Huangfu Yi,

“The parasite removal is a major undertaking and undoubtedly exhausting. Has Second Brother prepared any nourishing food for Ronglan afterward?”

Huangfu Yi froze for a moment before realizing the oversight.

“Thank you for the reminder, Elder Brother.”

He immediately pointed to one of his female shadow guards.

“Go and prepare some easily digestible food for Ronglan.”

The guard nodded and had just taken a step forward when Huangfu Rongan hurriedly spoke up.

“Father, I’d also like to do something for Elder Sister. Let me go instead.”

“Very well,” Huangfu Yi agreed without much thought.

Huangfu Rongan’s heart pounded violently in her chest.

Her eyes brimmed with venomous excitement, making her expression appear somewhat frightening.

But the one who was even more terrified was Xique.

She knew…

the Princess was about to make her move.

And she also knew…

that her own death was approaching.

Other than the Eldest Prince and Ling Yu, no one noticed anything unusual about Huangfu Rongan.

The Eldest Prince curled his lips into a faint smile, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes.

Ling Yu maintained an indifferent expression, though anyone observing carefully would notice the subtle mockery hidden deep within his gaze.

What a pity that Gu Yanshuang didn’t come.

Otherwise, mother and daughter could have been dealt with in one stroke.

But on second thought…

it didn’t really matter.

Death was easy.

Living was the difficult part.

Time passed, second by second.

Yet the room remained utterly silent.

After returning, Huangfu Rongan stood obediently to one side, her gaze fixed expectantly upon the tightly closed doors.

Seeing her like this, Huangfu Yi assumed she was genuinely concerned for Huangfu Ronglan.

His impression of her improved considerably.

Rongan is merely a little spoiled, he thought.

Deep down, she’s still a kind-hearted child. She’s different from her mother.

Huangfu Rongan: …

You’re thinking far too much.

I’m here to kill that idiot, not to show her affection!

How strange… Why isn’t it over yet?

No one knew how much time had passed when, just as Huangfu Rongan was growing increasingly anxious, the doors finally opened.

Tang Wan emerged first.

Mu Qingfeng followed close behind.

In his hands, he carried a basin filled with crimson liquid.

The overpowering smell of blood immediately assaulted everyone’s senses.

“Wan-niang, Qingfeng, how did it go?” Huangfu Yi asked, his heart lodged in his throat.

“Second Prince, the parasite removal went very smoothly,” Mu Qingfeng replied, lowering his eyes as he placed the basin before him.

“Your Highness, please take a look.”

Huangfu Yi lowered his head at once.

The others crowded around as well.

However, the instant they saw what lay within the basin, every single one of them changed color.

Floating atop the blood-red liquid were countless milky-white worms, each about the size of maggots.

Some of them weren’t completely dead yet.

They were still wriggling in the bloody water…

Huangfu Que was the first to lose control.

Clutching his mouth, he ran to the side and vomited.

“Ugh… What the hell is this? Ugh…”

Huangfu Rongan couldn’t endure the sight either. Covering her mouth, she stumbled off in the opposite direction.

Huangfu Yi’s face turned ashen.

“These… these were all the parasites inside Ronglan’s body?”

“Yes.” Mu Qingfeng nodded.

“All of the parasites within the Eldest Young Lady’s body are here now. As for whether she can wake up…”

He glanced toward Tang Wan.

“…that depends on Wan-niang.”

“What do you mean?” Huangfu Yi asked in confusion, turning a suspicious gaze toward Tang Wan.
