Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1960: Props
At this moment, Zhao Yin hurriedly ran over, carrying a bundle in his arms.
Eunuch Li grabbed him and whispered, "Minister Zhao, weren’t you leaving? Why are you back? What are you carrying?"
"We’re performing a ritual, and I needed tools, so I went back to get them." Zhao Yin replied in a low voice.
The Emperor’s temper was getting more and more volatile; Zhao Yin was now quite fearful of the Emperor.
Eunuch Li suddenly realized, no wonder the Emperor’s temper was so frenzied; the matter hadn’t been resolved. It was his own fault for acting so rashly earlier, disrupting the Emperor with two little eunuchs before understanding the situation.
Eunuch Li whispered again, "Minister Zhao, the Emperor just lost his temper again, so be careful; the Emperor’s health isn’t good. Don’t provoke him further."
"Yes, yes! Understood."
"Go on in."
As soon as Eunuch Li finished speaking, the Emperor’s voice came from inside: "Is Zhao Yin here?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li and Zhao Yin were startled.
Eunuch Li nudged Zhao Yin with his elbow, whispering, "The Emperor is calling you!"
"Ah!"
Zhao Yin, sweat dripping down his forehead, stood at the doorway, bent over, and respectfully answered loudly, "Reporting to the Emperor, your servant has prepared the items."
"Since you’ve prepared everything, why are you dawdling outside? Hurry up and get in here." The Emperor angrily shouted again.
"Yes." Zhao Yin hurriedly ran inside with the items.
Eunuch Li stayed guard at the door, allowing no one to approach.
Soon, Zhao Yin started the ritual in Qingping Palace, his methods exactly as they were the last time.
He took out a small bamboo tube from his coat, removed the lid, and released a large dark worm. This worm was the Mother Gu, seemingly even fatter than before, lazily crawling around on the tabletop.
Every time the Emperor saw this worm, it seemed to grow a bit bigger, which puzzled him, so he asked, "Beloved Minister Zhao, this Mother Gu, every time I see it, it grows bigger. How large can it grow?"
If a worm keeps growing bigger, what then?
"Reporting to the Emperor, this is an exceptional Mother Gu; it’s much larger than regular Gu insects. It has almost reached its full size and won’t grow much more."
The Emperor nodded, unusually showing a smile, saying, "Oh, I see." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Whenever thinking of these disgusting worms crawling around in Long Rui’s body, eating his flesh, drinking his blood, the Emperor felt immense satisfaction, and thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
The Emperor’s happiness relaxed Zhao Yin’s tense nerves significantly. He started mumbling to himself, and as the spell began, the worm’s body started to twist violently out of control...
Zhao Yin’s hands didn’t rest for a moment, uttering incantations while lighting the Talisman Paper, then tossing it into an iron bowl. When the fire blazed fiercely, he covered the worm with it...
"Hiss...!"
The worm let out a miserable shriek, the iron bowl shook violently as if the worm was desperately struggling within. Zhao Yin used all his strength to press it down, and after a while, the iron bowl became calm.
When Zhao Yin lifted the lid, the worm was not only unharmed but looked up at Zhao Yin with its big eyes, as if the scream just now wasn’t from it.
"Emperor, it’s done."
Zhao Yin, triumphant, returned the worm to the small bamboo tube, covered it, and put it back in his coat.
