Seeing that Su Luo was acting strangely, Chi Yi glared at Guo Gaofeng before asking Su Luo a question.

"Your Highness, are you alright? What exactly did Ye Beihan write?"

Su Luo's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a myriad of emotions: ruthlessness, guilt, anger, and innocence. These words transformed into sharp swords, taking turns attacking her heart.

The letter slipped from Su Luo's hand. Chi Yi bent down to pick it up, and when he saw its contents, he finally understood everything.

The above is what Ye Beihan told Su Luo: why Nangong Chiyu was bitten by poisonous insects and where the insects came from.

This also made Su Luo realize that everything has a traceable origin.

"hateful!"

Chi Yi was so angry that he crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball and threw it hard at Guo Gaofeng.

"Your Highness, this letter is nothing more than Ye Beihan's attempt to demoralize our army. They have resorted to despicable means. Your Highness, you must be rational."

Chi Yi firmly believed that Su Luo would not harm the prince, and that Ye Beihan's letter to the princess, regardless of its contents, was enough to make the prince and princess exchange a few words.

Why would the princess keep a letter like that if she didn't burn it?

Ye Beihan had already guessed this, which is why he put the insect eggs in the letter. He had long wanted to use the princess to harm the prince.

Su Luo tried hard to control her emotions; no matter what, she couldn't let her reason get the better of her.

She looked at Guo Gaofeng, her expression sharp: "You brought the antidote?"

Guo Gaofeng smiled and took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

"This was brought to me by the Regent. There are only two pills inside, but this medicine won't cure Prince Yu's poison. The real antidote is in the hands of our Regent."

When Guo Gaofeng arrived, everything was ready. He came to negotiate on behalf of Beiliang, not to seek peace.

Nangong Chiyu is the Chiyu Army's Achilles' heel. As long as they control Nangong Chiyu, they will have absolute say even if they are defeated.

"Lord Guo, what conditions do you want in exchange for the antidote?"

Since it concerned Nangong Chiyu's life, she dared not be negligent in the slightest, even though she had the ability to destroy the entire Northern Liang.

But nothing can save Nangong Chiyu; it's all in vain.

"Hahaha... The Deputy Minister of Agriculture is really straightforward. Our Regent said that he will acquire cities and the like through his own abilities."

What Northern Liang needs now is talent like you, Deputy Minister of Agriculture. If you are willing to go to Northern Liang to teach planting techniques and provide cotton seeds, the Regent will naturally give the antidote to Prince Yu.

This demand was even more outrageous than ceding the city, and Chi Yi was so angry that he drew his sword and pointed it at Guo Gaofeng.

"Ye Beihan is being delusional. Our princess will never go to that despicable place, Beiliang."

Guo Gaofeng was startled by Chi Yi's sword aura and leaned back.

“Deputy General Chi, in a war between two nations, envoys are not to be killed. Don’t break the rules.”

Chi Yi had fought for the country for many years, and his killing intent was no less than that of Nangong Chiyu. When he unleashed his killing intent, Guo Gaofeng was still afraid that Chi Yi would act impulsively.

After all, not killing envoys is just a rule; there have been envoys who were killed in history, and no one can guarantee that they will return the treasure intact.

"Hand over the antidote, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Su Luo reached out, signaling Chi Yi to put the sword away. Guo Gaofeng clearly still had something to say.

"Lord Gao, Ye Beihan didn't tell you that I am also a doctor. I will find a way to cure Prince Yu's poison myself. What will you do if I am unwilling to go to Beiliang?"

Guo Gaofeng was no fool to have become an envoy. As soon as Su Luo said those words, he knew that Su Luo was not confident in concocting an antidote. The Regent's predictions were never wrong.

"Hahaha... If the Deputy Minister of Agriculture really had the ability to concoct an antidote, he probably wouldn't be here listening to my words right now."

As he spoke, Guo Gaofeng handed the small porcelain bottle in his hand to Su Luo. Even if the negotiations failed, it didn't matter; this was the Regent's order.

“Vice Minister of Agriculture, these two pills have been given to Prince Yu. The Regent also said that after the Vice Minister of Agriculture receives this antidote, he will definitely not trust the Regent and will take it to be tested to understand its efficacy and formula. Therefore, the Regent specially gave me two pills to bring.”

Su Luo twirled the small porcelain bottle in her hand and looked up to meet Guo Gaofeng's gaze.

"Is Ye Beihan so certain that I can't concoct this antidote?"

Guo Gaofeng chuckled as he sat back down in his chair.

"The medicine in the pill can certainly be broken down by the Vice Minister of Agriculture, but there is one medicine that only the Regent possesses in the entire world. Even if you know the prescription, it will be of no use."

At this point, Guo Gaofeng paused for a moment before continuing.

"Moreover, these can only prolong and alleviate the life of Prince Yu, not provide a real cure. I just told the Deputy Minister of Agriculture this."

If you want to verify what I said, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture can have the medicine tested and you will know. However, there are also some truly detoxifying ingredients in this pill.

The Regent did this to let the Deputy Minister of Agriculture know that he could save Prince Yu, and that everything he did was simply to make life better for the people of Beiliang.

In a war between two nations, there is no right or wrong; everyone is simply getting what they need. Deputy Minister of Agriculture, once you've gone to Northern Liang to teach planting techniques and don't want to return to Nanning, Northern Liang can definitely offer you a higher official position than your current one.

If it weren't for the fact that the Northern Liang people held his life in their hands, Chi Yi would have really wanted to kill Guo Gaofeng with a single sword stroke and steal their queen away right in front of them.

Su Luo frowned, unable to fathom what Ye Beihan meant.

He turned to Guo Gaofeng and said, "Lord Guo, I will consider the conditions you have proposed."

"princess……"

Upon hearing Su Luo's answer, Chi Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly called out to Su Luo.

Su Luo raised her hand to stop Chi Yi from speaking; whether she went or not was naturally something she had to consider.

Guo Gaofeng stood up, took the envoy's staff from Beiliang, tore off the tassels, and presented it to Su Luo.

“Deputy Minister of Agriculture, the Regent said that you should consider it for two days. If you are willing, you can enter my Great Northern Liang Kingdom without any hindrance, bringing this envoy, Liu Su. The gates of Northern Liang will always be open for you.”

Before leaving, Guo Gaofeng turned back and said, "Vice Minister of Agriculture, you can all wait, but Prince Yu cannot."

yes!

If it weren't for his two serums, Nangong Chiyu would only have seven or eight days at most.

Su Luo gripped the porcelain bottle tightly in her hand, wishing she could crush it, yet fearing it would break, just like her feelings at that moment.

However, she secretly vowed that once Nangong Chiyu's poison was cured, she would personally kill Ye Beihan.

The hatred for killing one's husband is irreconcilable.

Chi Yi's veins were taut as he walked up to Su Luo.

"Your Highness, you wouldn't really agree to go to Beiliang, would you? Do you know that this journey will be fraught with difficulties?"

Not only will it cause losses to Nanning, but it will also bring you the stigma of betrayal. My princess, you absolutely must not go to Beiliang.
