Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 77 - 75 - Arc 3 (Last Mass Release)

Zosia who had just arrived in a new world and a new body was welcomed in the most unexpected way ever.

The pain struck suddenly, like a lightning bolt of agony searing through every fiber of her being. It started as a sharp, burning sensation in her stomach, spreading rapidly like wildfire through her chest and into her limbs. She tried to double doubled over and clutch her abdomen, but she felt like her limbs were clamped. Her breathing coming in ragged and shallow gasps.

Inside, it felt as though her organs were being doused with acid, sizzling and bubbling as they broke down. Her throat burned fiercely, as if she had swallowed molten metal, and each breath was a struggle against the scorching pain. The lining of her stomach and intestines seemed to twist and convulse, sending waves of cramping spasms that felt like her insides were being wrung out.

She could feel her heart pounding erratically, each beat a hammer blow that sent shards of pain ricocheting through her ribcage. Her muscles spasmed uncontrollably, limbs jerking in agonized reflex. Nausea surged up, adding to the torment, but yet, she couldn't retch. The feeling was so uncomfortable, neither going up nor down just hanging in her throat, plus the pain. She wanted to scream... Scream out the pain and agony she was feeling.

Her skin was slick with sweat, cold and clammy, as if her body were trying to expel the venom coursing through her veins. Every nerve seemed to scream in protest, and her vision blurred with tears of pain. She collapsed on the bed, her world narrowing to the raw, unrelenting sensation of her organs frying and melting within her.

The background noises came flirting back and forth as she battled with the pain.

Zosia strained herself, trying to kick off the feeling of hands that clamped her limbs to the bed.

The pain blocked some noises but occasionally she would hear one or two things from unfamiliar voices that filled the room.

"Get the chain."

"Fast. We need to clamp her else, the princess will writh and claw against her own skin." Another voice was heard.

Zosia suddenly felt like she was losing consciousness, when a soothing feeling spread forth within her. It started from her heart and brain.

It made her more lucid while reducing the pain she felt. She wondered if the soothing feeling would act against the poison.

She knew where the soothing feeling came from. Despite being surprised, she didn't bother about it. Now, she could clearly hear the voices in the background.

Her body kept thrashing around though it was slowly calming down. The spasms continued.

"Is The Empress not going to call for the Chief Imperial Physician?"

"Sigh! I heard that the Chief Imperial Physician along with the assistant are not available. They are treating the Duke's children."

"Then what would happen to the Princess?"

"Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the Empress cares. She only sent a physician. And as you know, he has already declared the Princess someone who wouldn't live."

"Sigh! Now I feel for the Princess more. Us old bones are the only ones who have been with the princess since birth, we all know that the Empress barely looks at the child."

" We shouldn't talk much about the Empress, to keep our heads."

"Sob! Sob! I pity the Princess. She has such a mother and is going through such a pain due to the schemes in the inner palace."

"Let's just pray the Princess survives it. We can't even do anything to help. The empress has dismissed other maids that should have been watching over the princess, leaving us behind.

We should be preparing for our deaths."

"Indeed, once the princess dies, we die with her as well."

From the voices, Zosia was able to gleam that there were 3 people and their voices sound like old women with one older than the other.

"Sigh! Such a beautiful child, destroyed by schemes. If she was born in a different household, maybe it would be better."

"Everyone has their own destiny. We can only watch the princess since there is no one for her."

"What about His Majesty the Emperor?"

"I wasn't allowed entrance. And the Empress did not allow me to see her either and tell her that this time around, the child isn't playing a prank."

"The Empress is well aware and sure it's not a prank. She must have just decided to give up on the Princess since she is now carrying a dragon heir."

"Sigh! I remember when the princess was born, the face of the Emperor was not good, since he was expecting a male heir."

"There was a male heir but he died and she survived. The Empress was good to the princess until that so-called prophet said the Princess survived because she has a wicked heart and shouldn't be allowed to live. He also said she is a black star."

"I know, I also heard it. When news of it spread, the person that suffered the most was the princess. Even people who served her despite her treating them well colluded with other concubines to deal with the princess.

Maybe, it's good for the princess to leave this world that doesn't cherish her."

"Despite the Emperor beheading him and getting into bad blood with the temple, he still hasn't seen the child for once except on her birth."

"Sigh! Those are old talks, let's stop talking about what would make us sadder and pray for the princess to survive."

While they were talking, that soothing feeling began turning her constitution from a normal one to a poisonous one.

Viens bulged and extended, the arteries also extended the blood changed gradually from the usual red to green.

Groan!

Her groan brought the attention of the old women back to the Princess.

Gasp!

"What is going on with the princess body?" The person said with astonishment.

Their eyes filled with fear as they stared at the green veins that became more visible to the naked eye.

They ran along her skin, disfiguring the already disfigured skin into something else.

Gulp!

"The princess body has decided on another route of survival." The oldest among them said.

"Which is?" The youngest asked. She had never seen such a thing before.

She felt that rather than the princess body to be like this, disfigured an unable to see the light. It is better she dies and leaves the forsaken world.

"Merging with poison." A male voice answered.

It was the Physician who had said she would not survive had returned after reporting to the Empress.

The Empress who was also following behind the Physician was stunned. She rushed out of the room after gazing at the distorted figure on the bed and retched violently.

The room oozed with poison, dirty blood and red blood.

The veins on the body changed from green to black and the arteries from red to green.

"You all should go out, the Princess has become someone with a poison constitution."

The old maids stared wide eyed in shock as they looked at the figure on the bed.

They couldn't help but marvel at her tenacity and willpower to leave. Such tenacity and Will power, if it belonged to a man on the battlefield, can do wonders.

"Hurry, check the child in my stomach, hope it's okay." The Empress urged the Physician who was leading the old maids out of the room.

He stared at the Empress in surprise, he thought she would first of all ask about the Princess.

Lowering his head, he brought out a gauze and held the Empress wrist to check her pulse.

"The Empress baby is still alive. Hale and hearty."

"Good. What about the one inside."

"The Princess is still alive but now her life is dependent on poisons. She has become a poison being, no longer normal as us.

Without taking poisons, she would be wrecked by the poison to death. Further diagnosis can be done. I recommend you ask the Chief Physician to help." The physician finished talking and kept quiet, lowering his head in fear and trepidation.

The Empress eyes flashed with no one knowing what she was thinking.

"Take this." She said to the maid beside her, "The Chief Physician should be back by now, tell him to come check on the Princess."

The maid received the token and immediately left with a run, unwilling to waste a second longer, else may lose her head if the princess dies before she returns.

The old maids lowered their heads but none of them had a good countenance. They all felt that the Empress was just doing this to put up a display of affection when there is none.

Their heart ached just thinking about the fact that such a thing had happened to the child they treated as theirs.

They were all maids former maids with different masters being a concubine or consort. But they had all been sent to serve the Princess as punishment and their family dead.

That's why they no longer feared death and being more than willing to escort the princess in the underworld or go tooth and nail for her.

They were happy the Princess survived but, her current state was worse than surviving.

They couldn't cry in front of the Empress, so they could only swallow it.
