At this moment, the soldier seemed to realize he was still delivering the meals.

He looked at Feng Xiyun’s gentle demeanor, gritted his teeth, but still left her.

"I don’t know where the lady is from, can I come to find you after I finish my official duties..." the soldier gathered his courage and said.

Feng Xiyun smiled.

She said, "I am a subordinate of General Xie Ruotong, currently under Deputy General Gong Jingyi."

Back then, Gong Jingyi had slapped her those twenty-eight times with all her might, which she hadn’t forgotten.

Feng Xiyun gave a cold smile.

She urged again, "You should hurry and take care of your business, I too need to return to my camp."

"Alright." the soldier agreed, "See you again, lady."

"Hmm."

The soldier promptly picked up the food box and hastily left.

He thought to deliver the meal early, as there were rumors in the army during this truce that the Cang Kingdom had already surrendered and was just waiting for the surrender document, and there shouldn’t be any more wars. If that lady favored him, he would take her back home to marry her.

Concealing his inner joy, the soldier headed towards Gao Ziyue’s tent.

Feng Xiyun looked at the soldier’s figure, the corners of her mouth curled into a malicious smile, and she returned directly to the Wounded Soldier Camp.

Originally, her wounds had almost healed, but at the moment, she discreetly injured the wound again.

Even if the emperor investigates.

He won’t trace it back to her.

...

At Gao Ziyue’s tent.

The soldier delivered the meal.

The guard at the entrance muttered, "Why is it a bit late today?"

The soldier trembled and promptly replied, "The kitchen was a bit slow today, as soon as it was ready, I delivered it."

"Next time remind the kitchen, not to delay the time. The Crown Prince from the Cang Kingdom is a distinguished guest. The emperor particularly instructed to treat him well, not to lose face."

"Yes."

"Take it in."

"Yes."

The soldier delivered the meal inside.

Gao Ziyue was also somewhat bored in the tent.

But considering the timeline, the message from Cang Kingdom should be arriving in the next two days.

After all, he was held hostage at the Daxuan Camp, and no one in Cang Kingdom could afford any delay in this matter.

"Crown Prince, please dine." The soldier respectfully arranged all the meals.

Gao Ziyue nodded.

He had to admit, the food in the Daxuan Kingdom was quite decent.

These days, this was his only bit of enjoyment.

...

Cang Kingdom military camp.

Du Jianghong hurried back on horseback.

Holding the surrender document, he first went to see An Ning.

An Ning felt a bit excited seeing Du Jianghong.

Everything was proceeding smoothly according to their plan.

Du Jianghong said, "I’ll send someone immediately to inform Daxuan, and tomorrow I’ll present the surrender document to pledge allegiance. You’ll stay close by my side, and after the Crown Prince follows us out, you’ll remain at the Daxuan Camp."

"Alright." An Ning nodded.

"Once we part tomorrow, I don’t know when we’ll meet again. In any case, if the Empress needs anything from me, I shall oblige without hesitation." Du Jianghong expressed his sincerity here.

"Alright." An Ning did not refuse either.

"So Daxuan Empress, take a brief rest and prepare, as I’ll handle the matters of surrendering for peace tomorrow." Du Jianghong urgently added.

"Thank you, sir."

Du Jianghong bowed and quickly left.

...

Daxuan Camp.

Yuan Wenkang quickly reached the emperor’s tent, his face was ashen.

He rushed into the emperor’s tent and directly knelt down.

Xiao Jinxing was currently writing with ink.

It’s uncertain if he was influenced by An Ning.

When longing for someone, he would repeatedly write the person’s name.

Just like during the half-year when An Ning left the Imperial Palace.

He had written An Ning’s name countless times.

At this moment, he had just touched his pen when he saw Yuan Wenkang kneeling on the ground with a tense expression.

Xiao Jinxing’s fingers trembled.

The ink on the Xuan paper turned distorted.

He pressed his lips tightly.

Not showing his emotions.

Needless to say, at this moment, any slight disturbance could make it hard for him to stay calm.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate has failed!" Yuan Wenkang directly kowtowed to the ground, "The Crown Prince from the Cang Kingdom suddenly fell into a deep sleep and foamed at the mouth!"

Xiao Jinxing gripped the ink pen tighter.

He did not linger, quickly rushing into the tent.

Yuan Wenkang naturally knew how crucial Gao Ziyue’s life was to Daxuan.

But he had never seen the emperor so nervous.

Even flustered.

Yuan Wenkang also understood that Gao Ziyue’s life not only concerned whether the two countries could cease hostilities but also the safety of the Empress...

At that moment, Yuan Wenkang really wanted to, apologize with his life.

For failing to properly guard the Cang Kingdom Crown Prince, regardless of the reason, it was his responsibility!

He swiftly followed the emperor’s steps, entering Gao Ziyue’s tent.

Gao Ziyue lay on the bed, body convulsing and foaming, appearing extremely distressed.

Xiao Jinxing immediately went over and directly pried open Gao Ziyue’s mouth, "Hold his mouth open for me, don’t let him bite his tongue."

"Yes." A trusted aide promptly stepped forward to help the emperor hold Gao Ziyue’s mouth open.

Gao Ziyue continued to convulse.

His eyelids kept flipping uncontrollably, rolling white.

Xiao Jinxing ordered loudly, "Bring all the best military doctors from the army, quickly!"

"Yes."

"Wait!" Just when a trusted aide was about to leave, Xiao Jinxing stopped him again, "If Feng Xiyun is not dead, bring her here!"

"Yes."

The trusted aide promptly left.

Meanwhile.

"Your Majesty!" A reporting voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Jinxing’s face was extremely grim.

At this moment, his fist clenched tightly, suppressing the trembling of his body.

"Your Majesty, a messenger from the Cang Kingdom requests to see you."

Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.

Yuan Wenkang looked at the emperor’s demeanor, not daring to speak.

Xiao Jinxing’s clenched fist joints had turned pale.

He kept suppressing the immense emotions within him.

Before leaving the tent, he said, "Yuan Wenkang, no matter what, Gao Ziyue cannot die! Watch all the military doctors, make sure they save Gao Ziyue, if not, bring their heads to see me!"

"Your subordinate obeys."

Xiao Jinxing strode away.

He took his trusted aides and returned to his own tent.

The messenger was already waiting outside the tent, seeing Xiao Jinxing, he promptly saluted.

"Your Majesty, the Think Tank specifically asked me to deliver this letter to you, please take a look, Your Majesty." The messenger quickly presented the letter.

Xiao Jinxing took it.

Looking at the black words on white paper inside.

The messenger stated directly, "The Think Tank says that tomorrow he will personally present the surrender document to Your Majesty. He also asks Your Majesty to allow our Crown Prince to leave after our country’s submission tomorrow. The Think Tank also mentions that he has prepared a tribute gift for Your Majesty tomorrow, hoping Your Majesty will kindly accept it."

The so-called tribute gift is certainly An Ning.

And Du Jianghong’s meaning is also clearly expressed.

He needs to see Gao Ziyue safe and sound.

Xiao Jinxing clenched his fist, enduring.

After delivering the message, the messenger left.

Xiao Jinxing didn’t linger for a moment, heading directly towards Gao Ziyue’s tent.

At this moment, there were quite a few military doctors inside the tent.

Including Feng Xiyun.

Feng Xiyun’s face was pale, her wounds seemed not yet healed, she looked exhausted, devoid of vitality.

"How is he?" Xiao Jinxing straightforwardly asked.

An elderly military doctor knelt on the ground, answering, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince from the Cang Kingdom appears to have been poisoned."

Xiao Jinxing’s expression drastically changed.

"But it could also be food poisoning..." The elderly military doctor was frightened by Xiao Jinxing’s aura.

His voice became nervous and tremulous.

"Is it food poisoning or intentional poisoning? Can’t you tell?" Xiao Jinxing roared.

"I, I am terrified..."

"Can he be saved?!" Xiao Jinxing asked.

"Because it is not clear what poison caused it in the Crown Prince from the Cang Kingdom, we cannot guarantee a complete antidote, I can only..." The military doctor’s response was ambiguous.

"If you can’t save him, you’ll all be buried with him!"
