Xiao Jinxing coldly stared at Feng Xiyun.

Feng Xiyun remained unflustered.

Xiao Jinxing clenched his fist tighter and tighter, "Feng Xiyun, I command you to save Gao Ziyue now, or I will execute your entire family!"

Feng Xiyun’s heart skipped a beat.

Because of the Emperor’s words, her emotions slightly fluctuated.

She looked at him.

He actually used the threat of executing all nine generations of her family?!

She certainly could save Gao Ziyue.

She created the poison, so she of course knows how to cure it.

But she...

How could she yield to the Emperor’s threat?

A person who doesn’t fend for themselves is doomed.

If she couldn’t live anymore, why should she care about those so-called family members, those so-called nine generations!

But outwardly.

Feng Xiyun remained extremely respectful, "Yes, I will do my utmost!"

Xiao Jinxing coldly stared at Feng Xiyun.

Ultimately he endured, not killing her directly.

He stood in the tent, watching all the military doctors, including Feng Xiyun, urgently treating Gao Ziyue.

From daylight to nightfall.

Gao Ziyue drank countless medicinal soups yet remained unconscious, still spasming all over.

One full day and night passed.

Gao Ziyue showed no sign of improvement.

At the hour of the tiger.

"Your Majesty." Yuan Wenkang finally couldn’t resist speaking, "You’ve kept watch for a full day and night, perhaps you should rest for a while?!"

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes slightly moved.

He made no response.

Yuan Wenkang already felt guilty, so he dared not speak further.

After another hour passed.

Xiao Jinxing suddenly called a military doctor, "You, come out with me."

It was the most senior one.

The military doctor quickly followed the Emperor out of the camp.

Feng Xiyun turned her head to glance at them.

Feeling a bit uneasy inside.

Why did Xiao Jinxing specifically have the military doctor come out?!

Had something been discovered?

Feng Xiyun gritted her teeth.

Anyway, she wasn’t afraid of death.

Even if the Emperor discovered this time that she did it, what would it change?!

It would just mean being killed.

And even if she were killed, An Ning would still die.

Xiao Jinxing would just regretfully lose the one he loved, worth it in her view.

Outside the tent.

Xiao Jinxing coldly asked, "According to the current situation, if a method to treat Gao Ziyue cannot be found, how long can he last?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, based on Crown Prince Cang’s current condition, he can only hold on until midday at most." The camp replied hurriedly, falling to the ground, "It is my incompetence, I beg for Your Majesty’s punishment!"

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes turned cold.

He had a sliver of hope for Feng Xiyun.

But until now she still chose not to act, so there was no need to waste more time with her.

He dismissed the military doctor.

Called Yuan Wenkang.

Yuan Wenkang knelt down, full of guilt.

"Now I must leave here. Watch over Gao Ziyue well, especially keep a close eye on Feng Xiyun, make sure she doesn’t make any moves!"

"Yes!" Yuan Wenkang agreed.

"If I am not here, follow the Empress’s orders." Xiao Jinxing instructed word by word.

Yuan Wenkang was somewhat surprised.

Follow the Empress’s orders?!

But the Empress wasn’t in the camp, how could he follow her.

Xiao Jinxing did not explain further, leaving with his trusted aides directly.

He returned to the tent and quickly changed into a messenger’s attire.

Accompanied by a few trusted aides, he boldly headed straight toward the Cang Kingdom camp.

Just as Du Jianghong was preparing to depart.

All preparations were completed.

He heard someone report, "Daxuan messenger seeks an audience."

Du Jianghong’s eyes showed surprise.

Why would a Daxuan messenger come at this moment?!

An Ning’s heart suddenly skipped.

She felt something amiss.

Her heart began to beat faster.

Du Jianghong glanced at An Ning.

An Ning nodded.

Du Jianghong ordered, "Bring the Daxuan messenger forward."

"Yes."

Inside the chief’s tent.

With Gao Ziyue absent, it was Yuan Kai and Du Jianghong inside to receive.

The Daxuan messenger walked into the tent.

An Ning’s heart suddenly jolted upon seeing the person.

Xiao Jinxing had personally come.

Still standing tall, still majestic.

Upon seeing Xiao Jinxing, An Ning’s eyes visibly reddened.

Xiao Jinxing’s gaze naturally fell upon An Ning, seeing her in the Cang Kingdom soldier attire, barely a glance, then shifted focus to Du Jianghong and Yuan Kai.

"At this critical moment, why have you come?!" Yuan Kai was puzzled.

The plan was for Du Jianghong to deliver the surrender and take back the Crown Prince, now the other party had come to their camp, leaving them bewildered.

"I am under the Emperor’s orders with an urgent matter to report solely to Military Advisor Du."

Upon hearing this.

Yuan Kai immediately felt perturbed.

He instantly stood up from his seat, "What trick is that dog Emperor of Daxuan playing now?! This endless nonsense?! If the Crown Prince weren’t in his clutches, I would make sure that dog Emperor rolls on the ground!"

Yuan Kai was livid.

Unaware that the very person he insulted was standing right before him.

If he knew.

He would probably be scared out of his mind.

An Ning glanced at Yuan Kai, then at Xiao Jinxing.

Seeing Xiao Jinxing’s indifferent expression, unmoved by Yuan Kai’s words.

An Ning pursed her lips.

Xiao Jinxing personally showing up definitely meant something had occurred.

Could it be something involving Gao Ziyue...

An Ning remained calm.

Du Jianghong was shrewd, knowing an urgent message from the Daxuan Emperor meant something crucial.

Notably, entire in attempts to end the war, although he hadn’t met the Emperor directly, he had consistently collaborated with him.

Could it be that something has gone awry?!

Du Jianghong promptly rose, addressing the messenger, "Come with me."

"Du Jianghong, what kind of trick are you playing?!" Yuan Kai barked furiously at Du Jianghong’s action.

This.

What scheme did that dog Emperor have with Du Jianghong?!

It seemed improbable to consider.

Du Jianghong was always within the camp, not leaving a step, how could he have connected with the Daxuan Emperor.

Since no contact was made, yet the Daxuan Emperor wants to meet Du Jianghong alone...

Damn it!

That Daxuan Emperor surely never considered him!

...

Du Jianghong led Xiao Jinxing to his own tent.

Surrounded by his guards.

"What does your Emperor wish to tell me?" Du Jianghong asked somewhat eagerly.

Xiao Jinxing looked at Du Jianghong, directly saying, "I am the Daxuan Emperor, Xiao Jinxing."

Du Jianghong’s complexion changed immediately.

He looked at Xiao Jinxing in disbelief.

The Daxuan Emperor had personally come to Cang Kingdom camp, by himself.

"I have no reason to deceive Mister, if Mister does not believe, let An Ning come here, she will confirm whether I am the Daxuan Emperor. If you mistrust An Ning, then bring your Cang Kingdom messenger, who has seen me, and will instantly recognize my identity."

Du Jianghong scrutinized the man before him.

Indeed at a moment, he was slightly dazed by this person’s extraordinary aura and striking appearance, unable to think in such a manner, lacking attention. Now with this claim, he wasn’t ready to believe him as the Daxuan Emperor straight away, bluntly stating, "Why did you come here alone, with what intent?"

"Mister should first confirm my identity; otherwise, there are countless matters I cannot discuss with Mister." Xiao Jinxing remained firm.

Du Jianghong hesitated a bit.

To immediately believe the one before him is the Daxuan Emperor, he couldn’t act so rashly.

He commanded, "Someone, quickly summon the messenger!"

"Yes."

The guard complied.

Before long.

The Cang Kingdom messenger appeared in Du Jianghong’s tent.

"Greetings, Military Advisor."

"Look at him, who is he?" Du Jianghong instructed the messenger to identify Xiao Jinxing.

The messenger turned and glanced.

After a moment, quickly responded, "Reporting to Military Advisor, this person appears to be... the Daxuan Emperor."

Because it was hard to believe he would be present, the tone was somewhat uncertain.
