Feng Xiyun returned to her tent from the Wounded Soldier Camp.

Ever since Xiao Jinxing used her as bait, leading to her tragic demise, everyone treated her with indifference.

Resentment welled up in her heart.

After all, she used to be the Emperor’s favorite companion. Even though she held no real power as a military doctor, everyone treated her with the utmost respect, quite unlike the cold shoulder she received now.

Fortunately, Feng Xiyun was a clever person.

She understood clearly that the less attention she received now, the easier it would be to accomplish her goals.

Feng Xiyun retrieved the medicine she had hidden in her tent.

As an Imperial Physician, she naturally carried all kinds of medicine.

She hadn’t intended to use them, but now she had nothing to lose.

She hid the medicine in her clothing.

Then she left the tent and headed towards the tent where Cang Kingdom’s Crown Prince Gao Ziyue was detained.

Many guards were stationed around the tent.

With Yuan Wenkang personally overseeing the area, it was impossible for her to enter.

Moreover, the Emperor was surely on guard against her now.

At her appearance, Yuan Wenkang would suspect her of wrongdoing.

She couldn’t get close.

Feng Xiyun turned and left.

She was actually pondering a few things in her mind.

Where on earth had An Ning gone?!

She hadn’t seen her at the logistics camp.

Could she have gone with Xiao Jinxing?!

That didn’t seem likely.

With An Ning’s character, she would never leave so many wounded behind to return to Xiao Jinxing’s side.

Moreover, it was suspicious why Gao Ziyue had suddenly invaded the Daxuan Camp. What risk was he taking, and what was hidden in the midst of it all?!

Feng Xiyun paced around the camp leisurely, while her mind was occupied with these thoughts.

She strolled like this for quite some time.

Feng Xiyun’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

She saw a soldier carrying a meal box approaching.

She felt a slight thrill inside.

She certainly could choose to give up because she couldn’t get close to Gao Ziyue, but she had to make the Emperor pay for what he had done to her!

Feng Xiyun took a deep breath.

Then she lunged at the soldier.

It seemed as though she twisted her ankle and deliberately fell into his arms.

The soldier was startled for a moment by the sudden encounter.

Feng Xiyun’s soft body brushed against him.

The fragrance from her body stirred a trace of excitement in the soldier, who hadn’t been near a woman for a long time.

"S-sorry..." Feng Xiyun apologized coquettishly.

The soldier saw she was a woman, a beautiful one at that.

The anger he had vanished instantly.

"Be careful when you walk," the soldier advised, but there was not a hint of blame in his tone.

"Y-yes," Feng Xiyun replied bashfully.

Her body remained leaned against the soldier’s embrace.

"Get up quickly." Although the soldier enjoyed this unexpected intimacy, he still had a task to deliver the meal to Cang Kingdom’s Crown Prince and couldn’t afford to delay.

"Yes," Feng Xiyun nodded obediently.

She detached herself from the soldier.

Then gazed at him with affection.

The soldier took a deep breath; regardless of the temptation, his duty was more important.

He picked up the meal box again, ready to leave.

At that moment.

"Ah!" Feng Xiyun suddenly fell to the ground beside him.

The soldier turned to glance at her.

Feng Xiyun’s face turned pale with pain, "My foot hurts..."

Seeing her small, helpless figure, the soldier felt a protective instinct surge within him.

"Could you help me, please?" Feng Xiyun pleaded, with a pitiful look.

The soldier, who had never seen much of the world, especially regarding women, couldn’t resist such allure.

He quickly set down the meal box to assist Feng Xiyun.

Feng Xiyun smiled wickedly to herself.

"Could you check if my ankle is sprained? It hurts so much..." Feng Xiyun became even more feeble and pitiful.

At this moment, the soldier was like he was under a spell, doing whatever Feng Xiyun asked.

He quickly began to massage her ankle.

This was the first time he had touched a woman’s foot, and he obviously found it hard to control his emotions.

He told himself it would only be a while longer, and then he would go deliver the meal.

Seeing the soldier’s eyes filled with greed, Feng Xiyun stealthily took out the medicine hidden in her clothing and placed it in the meal box.

Success.

Feng Xiyun breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

She quickly drew her little foot back to herself.

The soldier clearly felt a bit of reluctance.

The feel of a woman was entirely different from that of a man.

The soldier’s eyes were filled with an uncontrollable desire...

"Thank you, I’m fine now," Feng Xiyun said softly, "I won’t delay you any further. You should go quickly."
