Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze watched the queen being dragged away without a trace of pity in his heart.

He turned and left, his back looking desolate and lonely.

Once upon a time, he thought he owned the world and owned love.

But now, he found that he had nothing.

He lost his family, his love, and his trust.

All he was left with was endless loneliness and solitude.

Suddenly, Chu Ze felt dizzy.

He quickly grabbed hold of the pillar next to him to avoid falling.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, the eunuch chief stepped forward and asked.

"I...I'm fine..." Chu Ze waved his hand and said.

However, his face became paler and paler, and his body became weaker and weaker.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go back to your bedroom and rest!" said the eunuch chief anxiously.

Chu Ze nodded, and with the help of the eunuch chief, he slowly walked towards the bedroom.

Just as he reached the door of the bedroom, Chu Ze suddenly felt a sharp pain, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The chief eunuch's exclamation resounded throughout the palace.

……

When Chu Ze woke up again, he found himself lying on a soft bed.

He opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure sitting beside the bed, looking at him with concern.

"Queen..." Chu Ze shouted weakly.

"Your Majesty, you are awake!" The Queen said in surprise, "You are finally awake!"

Chu Ze looked at the queen, his heart full of doubts.

He didn't remember how he got back to the palace, nor did he remember how the queen appeared here.

"Queen, what's wrong with me?" Chu Ze asked.

"Your Majesty, you have been poisoned!" The Queen said anxiously, "It was... Chu Xuan who poisoned you!"

Chu Ze was shocked when he heard this.

Chu Xuan…didn’t he have been killed by himself?

How could he poison himself?

"Queen, what did you say? Chu Xuan...he...he is still alive?" Chu Ze asked in disbelief.

The queen nodded, fear in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, Chu Xuan...he...he is not dead..."

Chu Ze felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he passed out again...

When Chu Ze woke up again, he felt a splitting headache, as if countless steel needles were piercing his brain. He struggled to open his eyes, and in his blurred vision, a graceful figure gradually became clear.

"Empress..." He uttered two words hoarsely, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his tone. The queen held his hand with concern and said softly: "Your Majesty, you finally woke up! I was so worried!"

Chu Ze looked at the queen, with doubts in his heart. He clearly remembered that before he fainted, the queen had been banished to the cold palace by him, so why was she here again? Moreover, the worry in her eyes seemed...real?

"Queen, what's wrong with me?" Chu Ze asked, suppressing his discomfort.

The queen's eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "Your Majesty, you have been poisoned! It was...it was Henry Chu who poisoned you!"

Chu Xuan? This name was like a thunder, exploding in Chu Ze's mind. He sat up suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say? Chu Xuan... he... he is still alive?"

The queen quickly supported him, patted his back gently, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please don't get excited, be careful not to hurt the dragon body. Chu Xuan...he is indeed not dead...I just found out..."

Chu Ze felt a chill running from his feet to his head. Chu Xuan, his half brother, was killed by him, but now he is back from the dead and poisoned him? What conspiracy is hidden in this?
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Being pretentious was his innate talent, and even in this situation, he had to maintain the dignity of an emperor.

"Queen, tell me the whole story in detail." Chu Ze said in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

The queen did not dare to neglect and told the whole story. It turned out that Chu Xuan was not dead, but was rescued by a mysterious man. He lurked in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and finally took advantage of Chu Ze's weakness to poison him.

After listening to the Queen's story, Chu Ze was furious. Chu Xuan, you are so bold! I didn't kill you, but you plotted against me!

"Your Majesty, how do you feel now?" the Queen asked with concern.

Chu Ze smiled slightly, pretending to be calm: "I am fine, a mere poison cannot do anything to me."

Although he said so, Chu Ze knew in his heart that the poison this time was serious. He felt that his spiritual power was gradually draining away and his body was getting weaker and weaker.

"Queen, I need to retreat for a while. During this time, the affairs of state will be left to you." Chu Ze ordered.

The queen was a little worried: "Your Majesty, your health..."

Chu Ze waved his hand and interrupted her: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Remember, no one is allowed to disturb me without my order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Queen replied respectfully.

Chu Ze closed his eyes and began to circulate the spiritual power in his body, trying to force out the poison. However, the poison was extremely stubborn and no matter how hard he tried, he could not expel it.

As time passed, Chu Ze's face became paler and paler, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful force surging from his dantian. This force collided with the toxins in his body, making a roaring sound.

Chu Ze groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Your Majesty!" The queen exclaimed and hurried forward to support him.

Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling her not to come closer. He sat cross-legged, continuing to circulate his spiritual power, fighting a desperate battle with the toxins in his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ze finally opened his eyes. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were shining.

He succeeded!

Not only did he force the toxins out of his body, he also turned a disaster into a blessing, breaking through his own bottleneck and reaching a higher level of cultivation!

"Chu Xuan, do you think you can defeat me like this?" Chu Ze sneered, "I will let you know that I am the real son of destiny!"

At this moment, a eunuch ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Monsters have appeared in various places and are causing chaos. The people are suffering terribly!"

Chu Ze frowned when he heard this. Monsters causing chaos? Could it be that Chu Xuan was behind this?
He stood up, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Come here, prepare the way! I want to go and see for myself who these monsters are!"

Chu Ze led a team of imperial guards and left the palace in a mighty procession. Wherever he passed, the people knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Chu Ze looked at these devout people, and a surge of lofty sentiments and ambitions surged in his heart. I am the emperor, I must protect this land and my people!
He came to a village that was severely affected by the disaster. He saw that the village was in a mess, houses collapsed, fields were barren, and there were corpses of monsters and human remains everywhere. (End of this chapter)
