The tent became instantly silent due to the sudden rapid movements.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

When they saw An Ning, they were shocked, and the next moment, it was as if they truly saw hope.

In fact, no one understood why the Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom suddenly fell ill and why the Empress, known for her exceptional medical skills, did not come to treat him. It seemed that no one had seen the Empress for a long time; her whereabouts were unknown.

Rather than everyone waiting for a miracle, it was more accurate to say they were waiting for the Empress.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Empress, some military doctors were so excited that their eyes reddened.

Only.

Feng Xiyun looked as if she were dumbstruck.

She couldn’t believe what she saw, couldn’t believe that An Ning appeared alive here.

Impossible!

Wasn’t she supposed to be a hostage in Cang Kingdom’s camp?!

How could she have returned so safely?

Had her previous speculations been wrong?!

Was the Emperor not panicking about the Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom’s illness because An Ning was in Cang Kingdom’s hands?!

But if An Ning wasn’t in Cang Kingdom’s hands, why had she not come to treat the Crown Prince until now?!

Feng Xiyun’s mind was chaotic.

This was entirely different from what she thought.

This was not the result she wanted.

The result she wanted was for An Ning to die at the hands of Cang Kingdom, causing Xiao Jinxing lifelong regret!

No.

Feng Xiyun held back as her body trembled.

The overwhelming collapse inside almost made her explode, yet she forcefully suppressed it.

She couldn’t panic.

She told herself, she couldn’t panic now.

Without getting the result she wanted, she wouldn’t give up!

Feng Xiyun lowered her eyes, restraining her emotions.

At the moment, An Ning had no time to pay attention to anyone else, quickly walking to Gao Ziyue’s side and taking his wrist to read his pulse.

No one dared to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the Empress’s treatment.

When An Ning checked Gao Ziyue’s pulse, her face visibly changed.

Gao Ziyue’s pulse was incredibly weak, on the verge of losing his breath at any moment.

Her expression darkened, and she asked while keeping her pulse, "What has he been given to eat?"

The military doctors quickly reported the medications they had administered to An Ning.

An Ning pressed her lips together.

If not for the military doctors continuously using medication to sustain Gao Ziyue’s life, he might have already passed away.

An Ning released Gao Ziyue’s wrist, stood up, and checked his eyes and mouth.

After seeing the remaining white foam in his mouth, she quickly bent down, using a sword to cut Gao Ziyue’s finger, squeezing out a few drops of blood.

An Ning smelled it.

She was almost certain he had been poisoned.

Though it resembled food poisoning somewhat, his physical symptoms and the smell of his blood were distinctly different.

"Leave Military Doctor Zhang, Military Doctor Wu, Military Doctor Wei, and Feng Xiyun," An Ning instructed, "everyone else, go out first."

"Yes."

"Hurry and have someone deliver the medicine box I left in the Wounded Soldier Camp."

"Yes."

Yuan Wenkang took the order.

He was quite surprised upon seeing the Empress’s sudden appearance.

But remembering the Emperor’s instructions to obey the Empress’s arrangements, he thought the Emperor must have exchanged himself to bring the Empress back.

Although having the Empress treat Gao Ziyue was the best approach.

But if the Empress couldn’t cure Gao Ziyue...

To the Emperor.

No matter if Gao Ziyue could be saved or not, he would make this choice.

If he could be saved.

The Emperor and Empress could live together.

If he couldn’t.

The Empress could live.

Yuan Wenkang followed the orders to clear the excess people.

Naturally.

Xie Ruotong stayed by An Ning’s side.

After Yuan Wenkang cleared everyone, he returned to the camp.

At that moment, An Ning was already bleeding Gao Ziyue.

She meticulously handled the matters at hand while instructing, "When the medicine box is delivered, open the second compartment, third position. Take out four instruments, pour some out, and add Gao Ziyue’s blood into them. Observe the hemolysis reaction, and label the complete hemolysis with blood type. Meanwhile, organize the soldiers to bleed, do the hemolysis reaction as I said, mark each soldier’s blood type, and prepare for transfusion anytime."

Yuan Wenkang quickly memorized it.

Xie Ruotong, having been by An Ning’s side several times, understood her intent.

He also memorized An Ning’s instructions.

Shortly thereafter.

The medicine box was delivered urgently by the guard.
