Chapter 402: Birds Disappear Over a Thousand Mountains VS Inhumane (4)

"Speak, what has actually befallen me?" Dugu Han also felt some fear, his heart ceaselessly praying, hoping it wasn't as he feared.

"Your, Your Majesty, the Emperor has been poisoned," Liu Institute Head finally stammered out after being shouted at by the Emperor.

"Poisoned? What poison?" His hand, resting on the small tea table, slowly clenched, feeling a wave of fear inside. He actually didn't know when he had been poisoned; he was lucky that the person didn't want his life, otherwise, he feared he would no longer be part of the living.

Liu Institute Head nervously swallowed his saliva, his eyes wandering back and forth.

"Speak."

"It's, 'The birds over a thousand mountains fly no more.'" His voice trembling, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, his head hanging low.
