“Su Luo…”

He was angry; he practically shouted those two words through gritted teeth.

"Do you think you made these weapons?"

Su Luo tilted her head back; she hated the man in front of her, but she had no choice but to endure it.

"Yes, I left everything my master left me to the Crimson Feather Army. If you dare to touch Beichuan City and Nanning, Beiliang can be razed to the ground in an instant."

Ye Beihan's face contorted in pain as he tried to grab Su Luo's shoulders again, but Su Luo dodged him with lightning speed.

"Do you know that you have ruined my grand plan?"

Su Luo sneered: "If you dared to poison Nangong Chiyu, you should have thought about the consequences."

The two argued. Ye Beihan put his hands on his hips. Su Luo was the first woman he had ever seen and cared about, but she was also the most troublesome and difficult to control.

"Heh... You came here just to find an antidote for Nangong Chiyu?"

Su Luo took two steps back. Ye Beihan's mood was unpredictable, and she didn't know what he would do next.

"Doesn't the Regent know my purpose perfectly well?"

She claimed to be here to teach agriculture, but Ye Beihan and Shuang Shuo both knew Su Luo's true purpose.

"Heh, then you should know that I am the only one in the world who has the antidote for Nangong Chiyu. You can only give it to you if you please me."

Su Luo wasn't stupid. That poisonous blood was the real antidote, and Ye Beihan naturally wouldn't give it to her easily. She approached him because she wanted to find it herself.

However, he had a medicine that could alleviate the symptoms. Gaining Ye Beihan's trust to obtain it was the first step in his plan, and it was also to buy time for Nangong Chiyu.

"Yes! Are you satisfied with my answer to the Regent's tricky questions?"

Ye Beihan moved closer to Su Luo, hooking his left hand around Su Luo's pale chin.

"I am extremely dissatisfied. I sent you to Northern Liang. Sooner or later you will become my person, ha..."

Su Luo slapped his hand away and looked at Ye Beihan with disgust in her eyes.

"You really aren't picky."

Su Luo is already a mother of two. Don't men in this era prefer unmarried girls?

What is Ye Beihan thinking that makes him say such things? What does he see in me?

Su Luo wasn't sure if Ye Beihan wanted to humiliate her or take revenge on Nangong Chiyu. Someone with such a dark heart couldn't possibly like someone else.

Even beauties like Ye Qianning would occasionally throw themselves into his arms, but he ignored them.

Even she could tell back then that Ye Qianning liked him.

"Didn't I choose you? Once you are widowed or divorced, I will make you the Regent Queen of Northern Liang."

He wanted to keep Su Luo by his side. He had everything he could want, and besides, this woman was someone he liked.

"Shameless!"

Su Luo turned around angrily. This was his main tent, and leaving was the best option for Su Luo.

She had made all the necessary plans before coming to Beiliang. As long as Ye Beihan trusted her, she was willing to teach him agriculture and offer him cotton seeds.

But Ye Beihan's words tonight disrupted all her plans.

He wanted to possess her. According to Ye Beihan's thinking, she would have to change her plans to find the antidote.

...

The next day!

Su Luo and Lian'er stood in front of the tents of the Northern Liang army camp, watching them get ready to return to Northern Liang.

When Shuang Shuo walked over, he always looked at Su Luo with disdain and disgust.

"Your master invites you to ride in the carriage with him!"

"knew."

After thinking about it all night, Su Luo decided to play along with Ye Beihan for now, and then slowly find the antidote after they withdrew their troops and returned to Beiliang.

On the way back to Beiliang, Ye Beihan seemed to be keeping her company, sitting in the carriage without saying a word, just watching her, as if waiting for her to speak first.

After a struggle with her thoughts, Su Luo finally spoke up.

"Ye Beihan, you know the purpose of my trip. When will you give me the antidote again?"

Ye Beihan rarely showed a smile: "We'll see how you perform when we get back to Beiliang. You'll take the antidote once every two weeks. Nangong Chiyu won't die. Besides, I won't let him die so quickly, otherwise it would be too boring."

His words were loaded with meaning, which Su Luo understood perfectly, but she still pretended not to.

"Since I promised Beiliang that I would teach agriculture, I will never go back on my word, but I also hope that you can do what you promised me."

Ye Beihan raised his eyes and stared at Su Luo's brow, his foreign face always bearing an ambiguous expression.

“Unlike Nanning, which is experiencing drought this year, Northern Liang has abundant rainfall. Why don’t you stay here? I will give you as many estates as you want.”

The main source of income for the Northern Liang was not farming; the Northern Liang region was rich in jade and jade mines.

Their people are generally wealthy, and agriculture is the secondary industry.

Su Luo didn't immediately answer Ye Beihan's question; she wanted to leave him with some suspense.

After the army had marched for more than ten days, when they arrived at the capital of Beiliang, Ye Beihan gave her an antidote, which she then found a reliable person to take back to Nangong Chiyu.

Upon entering the capital, the people bowed in greeting. Judging from their attitude towards Ye Beihan, it seemed that in their eyes there was only the regent, not the emperor.

After getting off the carriage, what came into view was a mansion even more luxurious than a royal palace, with the words "Regent's Mansion" written on it.

"Su Luo, this is my residence. If you don't like it, you can stay in the palace. The imperial palace in the capital of Beiliang has three thousand palaces for you to choose from."

You can stay in whichever room you want. Even the Empress's palace can be moved out by me so you can have it.

Standing in front of the Regent's Palace, Su Luo casually asked, "I want to stay in the Northern Liang Emperor's Yangju Palace. What can you do about it?"

Ye Beihan sneered: "If you want, even a palace made of jade, I can take it down for you."

Su Luo simply listened to these words and moved into Ye Beihan's mansion with Lian'er. Only by Ye Beihan's side could she find the antidote.

Ye Beihan's Regent's Palace was extravagantly luxurious; even the floor tiles were made of jade, not to mention the jade tiles on the eaves.

Su Luo lived in a courtyard where hundreds of flowers bloomed in vibrant colors. As if to suit her tastes, all the flowers and plants could be used as medicine. Upon closer inspection, it was like entering a garden of a hundred herbs.

Su Luo had no interest in appreciating any of this. After staying at the Regent's Palace for a few days, Ye Beihan didn't ask her to teach agriculture, and she wouldn't go looking for trouble.

She has been searching for poisonous insects in the mansion for the past few days, trying to find out where Ye Beihan keeps them.

Once the poisonous insect is found, it can be tested. If the poisonous blood really comes from the insect, she can use it to save Nangong Chiyu.

After searching for several days, she did find a few secret rooms, but there were no traces of poisonous insects. In addition, no matter how much money she offered, she couldn't get the people here to talk.

She felt as if she were inside an iron barrel; the airtight space made her suffocate.

However, there's always a way out, and the arrival of Ye Yueze that night shattered all of that.
