Su Luo wanted countless times to rush out and tell Nangong Chiyu that she was still alive, that she was alright, and that she was just trapped in the space and couldn't get out.
"Nangong Chiyu... I'm here. I'm still alive."
Everyone gathered around Su Luo's physical body to look at it, except for the Grand Preceptor, who paused, turned his head as if he had discovered something, and then returned to calm.
"Your Highness, let this old man take a look."
Nangong Chiyu quickly stepped aside to let the Imperial Advisor check on Su Luo. The Imperial Advisor was highly skilled and would surely find a way to save Luo Luo.
The Imperial Advisor took Su Luo's pulse, calculated today's almanac, and determined the exact time. He was proficient in all aspects of divination, including mountain, ghost, fate, physiognomy, and servant, but he couldn't cure Su Luo's illness.
After a cup of tea had been brewed, the Imperial Advisor stood up and addressed Nangong Chiyu.
"Your Highness, my junior sister's body is poisoned by a strange toxin, rendering her body's self-protective mechanisms completely ineffective."
Moreover, the poison must have been in her body for about half a month. The fact that she was still alive for such a long time indicates that the person who treated her had an extremely accurate grasp of the toxicity.
"Also, the poison in her body must have been caused by someone using a method of fighting poison with poison."
As he spoke, the Imperial Advisor glanced at Ye Beihan, and Nangong Chiyu immediately understood what the Imperial Advisor meant.
Ye Beihan is the most skilled poison user in Beiliang. If he kills Ye Beihan now, Luo Luo may never wake up again.
Nangong Chiyu touched Su Luo's face and threw the hibiscus flower from her bedside onto the ground.
"Luo Luo, it's been half a month. Lian'er said that when you gave her the antidote, you were covered in blood. Were you poisoned then?"
Ye Beihan picked up the hibiscus flower and didn't want to disturb Nangong Chiyu and Su Luo's reunion.
When Nangong Chiyu attacked Beiliang, he knew this day was coming. Without Su Luo, his life had no meaning.
After a long while, Nangong Chiyu calmed himself down, stood up, and asked Ye Beihan.
"Tell me, what conditions do you want to offer?"
Apart from Ye Beihan, no one knew how to save Su Luo, which was Nangong Chiyu's weakness.
Ye Beihan placed the hibiscus flowers in the vase, sat down in the chair, and regained seven or eight tenths of the Regent's former charm.
"Su Luo was injured by the Shattered Corpse Silver Silkworm, and the poison of this Shattered Corpse Silver Silkworm can only be cured by me and my master in the whole world."
The usage, dosage, and use of poison here are extremely strict. Most importantly, it requires a single ingredient: my blood.
Nangong Chiyu: "Your blood?"
"Yes! I grew up taking poison, so my blood naturally contains a lot of toxicity. If Su Luo didn't have my blood as a medicinal ingredient, she wouldn't even live for a month, let alone wake up."
"so what?"
Nangong Chiyu knew that Beiliang would definitely use Luoluo's life as a bargaining chip to make an unequal deal with him.
"Therefore, I will teach you the method to treat Su Luo, ensuring that her vital signs will not disappear."
However, Beiliang's conditions are that you withdraw your troops, release His Majesty, return the five cities of Beiliang, and allow the Fifth Princess of Nanning to marry His Majesty.
Once Nangong Manyu becomes the Empress of Northern Liang, the two countries will sign a thirty-year peace treaty.
"Impossible, even a lion wouldn't open its mouth that wide."
Before Ye Beihan could finish speaking, Nangong Chiyu interrupted him, saying that not only should they return half of the city, but they also wanted to use a princess for a marriage alliance. How could that be possible?
"Your Highness Prince Yu, don't you want to save Su Luo's life? Even the Emperor of Nanning might not refuse this offer."
Don't you know how the Emperor of Nanning treats Su Luo? Why wouldn't he save Su Luo?
Putting all that aside, doesn't Su Luo's contribution to Nanning justify these conditions?
Nangong Chiyu turned to look at Su Luo. This attack on Beiliang was not carried out with the imperial decree of Nangong Qing.
He acted first and reported later; the imperial edict had only been issued to him five days ago. He was also gambling that Nangong Qing wouldn't blame him for doing this to save Su Luo.
"Ye Beihan, you're delusional. If anything happens to Luo Luo, I will kill Ye Yueze and help you change Beiliang to Nanning."
Ye Beihan knew that Nangong Chiyu wouldn't agree so quickly, so he had to use his last risky move.
"Fine, kill them all. I don't care. If you don't want to save Su Luo, then kill as many as you want."
Nangong Chiyu gripped the sword at his waist, his hands trembling with anger. Ye Beihan knew perfectly well that no matter the cost, he would save Su Luo.
"Very well, I agree to return the five cities and release your Northern Liang Emperor, but the princess's marriage needs His Majesty's decision; I cannot make that decision."
This is the limit for Nangong Chiyu. He can take back the city if he loses it, but if Nangong Manyu's life is ruined because of him...
If Luo Luo were conscious, she probably wouldn't agree.
Ye Beihan smiled and said, "Then I would like to ask Prince Yu to immediately send a letter of divorce to the Emperor of Nanning. I can wait, but Su Luo cannot."
The entire palace was occupied by the Chiyu Army. The Grand Preceptor looked at Su Luo, and Nangong Chiyu immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Nangong Qing by his eagle.
He stayed by Su Luo's side for the past three days, which Su Luo could clearly see from her spatial dimension.
Nangong Chiyu has lost a lot of weight compared to before, and now he can't even eat or drink because of her.
Within three days, he received a reply from Nangong Qing, who agreed to all the conditions proposed by Ye Beihan.
The Imperial Advisor, along with Nangong Chiyu, Chi Yi, and others, all gathered at the temporary palace for peace talks between the two countries. On the other side, however, there were only Ye Beihan, Ye Yueze, and a historian.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has already agreed to your conditions: five cities and a princess for marriage. It is time for Your Majesty to fulfill your promise."
The Imperial Advisor handed the official document of the agreement between the two countries to Ye Beihan. This document bore Nangong Qing's imperial seal, making it impossible to fake.
"Your Majesty, please sign it."
Ye Yueze accepted the letter of state. As long as he signed this letter, although Beiliang had lost half of its cities, it could at least be considered to have been preserved.
And then there's Manyu. He likes Manyu, and for him, having Manyu as his empress would be entirely beneficial.
The imperial seal was taken out and stamped, and the agreement between the two countries was considered reached.
"Your Majesty, the rest is a private matter between me and Prince Yu. Please return to the palace first."
Although he was the ruler of a country, Ye Yueze still preferred to listen to Ye Beihan.
"oh!"
After watching Ye Yueze's imperial carriage leave the palace, Ye Beihan placed a thick book and records of Su Luo's treatment in front of Nangong Chiyu and the Imperial Preceptor.
"It's not easy to cure Su Luo's body. This record contains the poison I've been taking since I was a child."
To refine my poisonous blood into a medicinal ingredient, one needs to start from childhood. However, since Prince Yu is an adult, this method is not feasible.
Ye Beihan paused, observing the reactions of Nangong Chiyu and the others from Nanning. Nangong Chiyu did not disappoint him, but the others were a different story.
"What does the Regent mean? Do you want our Prince to become a drug-filled man?"
Chi Yi said, "If the prince is poisoned, how can he lead the Red Feather Army?"
The Imperial Advisor frowned and remained silent, understanding the situation perfectly…
