Shen Yao frowned, finding it strange that a woman would approach him.

Who is it?

The soldier replied in a deep voice, "She said her name is Ye Qingzhu."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao's pupils widened slightly, his expression one of utter surprise.

He didn't know why Ye Qingzhu would suddenly come to his door, and that the two of them were on opposite sides.

Shen Yao couldn't figure out what Ye Qingzhu was up to. After thinking for a while, he still decided to go see her.

Stepping out of the camp gate, from Shen Yao's perspective, he saw a woman dressed in red leading a white horse with her back to him.

When Shen Yao saw the familiar figure again, his mindset was completely different from before. He was afraid that Ye Qingzhu would play tricks like last time, so he subconsciously gripped the sword at his waist.

The woman in red said in a deep voice, "Shen Yao, it's been a long time..."

After saying that, Ye Qingzhu slowly turned around, her gaze meeting Shen Yao's.

Shen Yao's face remained indifferent, devoid of joy or sorrow, like an emotionless puppet. He retorted, "What brings you here to see me..."

Shen Yao wasn't stupid. He knew that for Ye Qingzhu to risk coming here was no small matter, so how could he be completely unprepared?

Ye Qingzhu smiled and took out a white medicine bottle and a letter from her pocket. "I'm here to save Wang Ruofu."

Shen Yao looked extremely surprised, seemingly not quite believing Ye Qingzhu's words.

Ye Qingzhu naturally saw through Shen Yao's thoughts, but said nothing. She simply placed the medicine and prescription on the ground and nimbly mounted her horse.

"Whether you believe it or not, I am indeed here to save people. The medicine is here; whether you use it or not is up to you."

After saying that, Ye Qingzhu tightened the reins and prepared to ride away.

Shen Yao looked up at her and questioned, "Why did you do this..."

Upon hearing Shen Yao's question, Ye Qingzhu looked up at the sky. At that moment, dusk was falling, and the fiery clouds on the horizon seemed to be burning a hole in the entire sky.

Ye Qingzhu sighed softly, her thoughts drifting away, as if she had thought of something, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"Maybe it's for my own sake!"

After saying that, Ye Qingzhu didn't wait for Shen Yao to react before whipping away, leaving only her back view as it gradually disappeared into the distance.

Shen Yao did not chase after her. Although he did not understand why Ye Qingzhu would say that, he knew that she was not lying.

After Ye Qingzhu's figure disappeared into the distance, Shen Yao's gaze fell back on the medicine bottle and a letter on the ground.

Even the army doctor couldn't cure Wang Ruofu's injuries, so Shen Yao thought he might as well try anything and picked up the medicine bottle on the ground.

He took it back to his tent.

At this moment, Su Yan's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she was expressionless and unable to speak. However, she still did not let go of Wang Ruofu's hand, trying to warm her gradually cooling body, although it was still in vain.

Seeing this, Shen Yao felt extremely sorry for Su Yan. He walked over, pried open her hands, and stuffed the medicine bottle left by Ye Qingzhu into her mouth.

Su Yan, who was in a daze, gradually came back to her senses. She stared blankly at the white medicine bottle in her hand, then looked up at Chen Yao.

What is this?

"This is the medicine that can save Lord Wang. Whether or not to use it is entirely up to you."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's expression was as if she had grasped a ray of light, and she excitedly asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Shen Yao shook his head, not intending to hide the origin of the medicine from Su Yan. "I don't know what kind of medicine it is. Ye Qingzhu just gave it to me."

"Since it's her!"

Su Yan looked extremely surprised, seemingly not expecting Ye Qingzhu to risk coming to deliver medicine to Wang Ruofu.

It's like a weasel suddenly paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.

Not only did Shen Yao not understand, but Su Yan was even more baffled.

Su Yan opened the bottle, and a strong medicinal aroma wafted out, which seemed somewhat familiar.

Su Yan closed her eyes, carefully sensing the aroma of the medicine, searching her mind for the source of the fragrance, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.

The medicine in this bottle is actually a contraceptive!

During her time at the Ghost Market, Su Yan had come into contact with contraceptive incense, which was indeed a good medicine for treating illnesses and providing emergency relief, but it had extremely severe side effects.

Furthermore, she had also smelled the medicinal scent of contraceptive on her senior sister, which meant that her senior sister had been taking contraceptive a long time ago.

No wonder it lasted so long.

Without hesitation, Su Yan poured out the medicine, bent down to help Wang Ruofu up, rested her head on her shoulder, and painstakingly put the pill into her mouth.

At this moment, Jing Ning, who had been silent all along, immediately stepped forward to stop Su Yan's next move, "No way! You really believe that Ye Qingzhu, that woman, can be so kind?"

Jing Ning didn't believe Ye Qingzhu could be so kind.

Su Yan pushed Jing Ning's hand away. "Although I have never met Ye Qingzhu, I believe that the medicine she risked her life to deliver is definitely not fake."

After saying that, Su Yan still stuffed the medicine into Wang Ruofu's mouth.

After taking the medicine, Wang Ruofu's pulse did indeed become much more stable.

Seeing that Su Yan was determined to do things her own way, Jing Ning did not continue to stop her.

She turned to look at Chen Yao beside her and muttered softly, "Come with me for a moment..."

After saying that, she walked towards the door.

Shen Yao didn't know what Jing Ning was going to do, but he still obediently followed behind her.

As soon as they stepped out of the tent, Jing Ning pulled him to a corner, glanced around cautiously, and said, "Shen Yao, don't you find it strange?"

"Strange? What's strange about it?" Shen Yao looked at Jing Ning with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Shen Yao's expression, Jing Ning said with exasperation, "Of course it's Ye Qingzhu! As far as I know, Lord Wang and Ye Qingzhu have absolutely no connection. How could he know that Lord Wang is in imminent danger?"

Shen Yao thought back for a moment. When he rushed into the Qiang camp, he also saw Luo Yan's corpse, but he did not find Ye Qingzhu's whereabouts.

However, she knew that Wang Ruofu was in imminent danger, which means that she was also present at the time.

However, Ye Qingzhu has already left, and the Qiang people still need to be questioned to find out what exactly happened.

After glancing at the tent, Shen Yao instructed Jing Ning, "I'll go investigate this matter now. Take good care of Su Yan."

Jing Ning nodded, her face firm, and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

In the past, Shen Yao would not have trusted Jing Ning to take care of Su Yan, but things are different now.

The Jingning of today is not the same person Shen Yao knew before.

"Okay... If anything happens, be sure to let me know."

Jing Ning couldn't help but smile wryly; she had never realized that Shen Yao could be so fussy and nagging.

He gave a helpless, wry smile: "Lord Shen, don't worry! I will keep a close eye on Su Yan's movements. If anything seems amiss, I will inform you immediately..."

Seeing Jing Ning's repeated assurances, Shen Yao felt much more at ease. After glancing at the tent, he turned and left.

Watching Shen Yao's departing figure, Jing Ning gradually came to her senses.

He rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought, and muttered to himself, "These two are definitely up to something..."

At this moment, Jing Ning had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She felt that the relationship between Shen Yao and Su Yan was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
