Episode 23 recap: The Crown Prince held his breath and forced out the gu worms.
The royal physician found a method to make the host stop breathing, causing the gu worms to exit the host's body. However, if this were to happen, the Crown Prince would also lose his life. Nevertheless, the physician knew a sealing technique that could temporarily allow a person to breathe, but it required exceptional skill, as any slight mistake could lead to problems. Yuejian still wanted to give it a try. Everything was prepared, and all tasks had to be completed within a fixed timeframe. The countdown officially began, and everyone was ready, waiting for the gu worms to emerge and kill them, with Yuejian assisting by the side.
Minute by minute passed, and it was apparent that two gu worms had already flown out. Now, only the final Gu King remained. Yuejian continued to entice the Gu King while keeping an eye on the time. It was crucial to remove the needle at the designated time. At the last moment, the Gu King finally emerged. After the physician removed the needle, the Crown Prince finally woke up. Yuejian was overjoyed to see the Crown Prince recovered and hurriedly went to protect him.
Finally, the two of them could stay together. After the Crown Prince recovered, he went to see his father. The father inquired about his son's health, and the Crown Prince assured him that he was fine. However, the father's condition deteriorated day by day. It was the second time in these years that the father held his son's hand. In the past, he had believed rumors and caused the deaths of the Crown Prince's younger brother and mother, which remained a burden on his heart.
Ultimately, the Emperor passed away due to his severe illness.
