West Wing.

In a quiet and simple courtyard, a woman coughed slightly:

“Cough… cough cough…”

Wu Nu put down the medicine bowl and sipped the bitter medicine. His face was as pale as rice paper and he looked haggard and listless. He had suffered great trauma from refining the forbidden medicine.

Miaojiang medical skills are different from normal medical skills.

Normal medical techniques use herbs.

The Miao Jiang magic uses various poisonous insects.

The medicine that Princess Chen took caused her to suffer backlash, and her life span was shortened by ten years.

She was not willing to pay such a high price but still not be looked at by the man...

Wu Nu picked up an ink-colored handkerchief and stroked it gently with his fingertips.

That was the last time I stole King Chen's...

She caressed him every night, always harboring thoughts...

Sudden.

Bang!

A sudden loud noise pierced the air, and the man who was running towards him was carrying a cold wind and murderous intent, and went straight to the table. Before Wu Nu could react, he was knocked to the ground by a strong breath.

“Hmm!”

His weak body couldn't withstand the heavy blow and he hit the wall, then fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The silk handkerchief fell to the ground, stained with dust.

"Have you figured out how to atone for your sins?"

A man's cold and chilling voice came from above my head.

Wu Nu's body trembled in pain and he raised his head with difficulty. From the angle he looked up, the man's face was as cold as a knife, with sharp edges and no warmth, and murderous intent in his dark eyes.

The sword in the man's hand was pointed directly at her forehead.

Wu Nu didn't react at all:

"I...ahem...what did I do?"

Zong Zhengchen said in a cold voice: "How dare you mix saffron into the medicine? If it is not discovered in time, more than a thousand people in your entire Miao area will be buried with you!"

"!"

Wu Nu opened his eyes wide in shock.

Saffron!

Big taboo for pregnant women!

"How could there be saffron in the medicine? Impossible!" She covered her chest, breathing rapidly, wheezing and coughing.

"Impossible... That's a forbidden medicine from Miaojiang. It's made of only top-grade medicinal materials. There's no way there's a problem..."

She dares to guarantee it with her faith in fate!

Zong Zhengchen looked at her coldly, hating himself for being so reckless.

This woman once followed the prince, and once the prince fell, she showed favor to him. How could such a fickle person be loyal?

He miscalculated!

It almost caused a big mistake!

He threw the sword back, and the sword stuck into the ground coldly. "I will give you a chance. Either you commit suicide to atone for your sin, or your entire clan will take the blame. It's your choice."

A cold voice fell, murderous intent surged, and those cold words left no room for argument, and no room for maneuver.

Death is necessary to put this matter to rest!

“No…” Wu Nu’s face turned pale, and he shook his head, “I made a mistake. There must be something wrong…”

There is absolutely no way that there could be anything wrong with the medicine!

There's no way she could be blamed for something she didn't do!

"The medicine was given to me personally from you. Who else could it be other than you? Do you think I want to harm my own child?" Zong Zhengchen sneered.

"I don't!"

"It wasn't me!"

Wu Nu rushed forward, holding his chest in pain, and coughing up blood while speaking.

"I spent ten years of my life trading with you, just to get supplies for my people. How could I joke about the lives of my people?"

"If I wanted to harm Princess Chen, I would have done it long ago. I am temporarily staying in Prince Chen's mansion. There are so many opportunities to do it. Why wait until now?"

"I swear, I didn't do such a thing! I have no reason to hurt her at all!"

She coughed and choked rapidly, her face turned paler and she vomited blood in large mouthfuls.

His vitality was severely damaged. Before he had time to recuperate, he was slapped again, which added insult to injury. This time, his life span would probably be reduced by another ten years.

"reason?"

The man sneered, slowly bent down, and picked up the ink-colored brocade handkerchief with his fingertips.

When Wu Nu saw this, his face changed suddenly.
