The mother-child parasite consists of one mother parasite and numerous child parasites. If the mother parasite dies, all child parasites will also die. Xiu Xin, a parasite breeding expert, had carefully maintained the mother parasite. While serving Ruan Ning, she secretly administered medication and found Ruan Ning during the chaos in the inner palace, successfully planting the child parasite on her.
Qin Zhi had long planned this. If the rebellion succeeded, she would kill Ruan Ning, but if it failed, Ruan Ning would serve as her life-saving trump card. After escaping through the underground passage, her first action was to kill Xiu Xin, consume the mother parasite, and ensure her invincible position.
“I thought that when I sent Min back, she would fall out with you, but unexpectedly, you’re still together,” Qin Zhi said indifferently. “It seems you have deep feelings for Ruan Ning. If so, you’d better comply with my wishes to ensure my safety.”
“You think I would be threatened for a woman?” Gu Lianchang remained composed. “Take her away!”
The soldiers took Qin Zhi away. Wei Shu shouted, “I am the Crown Prince. See who dares to touch me!”
“The new Emperor is just eight years old and has no Crown Prince,” Gu Lianchang raised his hand. “Take him away.”
He rushed out, finding a wandering doctor: “The mother-child parasite, how can it be cured?”
“If the mother parasite dies, all those infected with child parasites will die,” the doctor wiped sweat from his forehead. “There’s no cure, unless…”
“Unless what?” Gu Lianchang pressed.
The doctor explained the complex method of extracting the parasite, requiring someone to use their own blood and potentially sacrifice their life.
Gu Lianchang realized that only someone deeply in love could perform such a selfless act. He understood he was the only suitable candidate.
The subsequent scenes describe Gu Lianchang’s sacrificial plan to save Ruan Ning, extracting and destroying the parasite at the cost of nearly his own life, symbolizing his profound love and dedication.
Gu Lianchang used his last breath to unlock Ruan Ning’s acupoint, smiling slightly: “Okay, don’t be afraid.”
Ruan Ning was speechless in shock and grief, never expecting Gu Lianchang would use such a radical method to remain in her heart.
“Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission,” a cheerful standard female voice announced. “Do you want to save him?”
