She did take the medicine Qi Chengfeng gave her, just as she had told him, she had already risked her life before coming here.
Trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin is bound to come at a price.
Having come this far, she has no way out.
Qi Chengfeng is a smiling tiger, and he is ruthless. She doesn't need to guess to know that there are countless eyes watching her from the shadows.
If she cannot deliver the miraculous medicine by tomorrow and cure Qi Chengfeng's impotence, he will definitely not give her any chance.
The fact that she knew he was impotent was enough for her to die a hundred times over.
Fortunately, Qi Chengfeng took the Enchanting Gu Pill, which was a prescription she obtained from the Miao King when she was with Shen Mu in the later part of her previous life.
Shen Muzhi thought it was a harmful thing, so she had it destroyed, but she remembered it.
The medicine was not a poison, but a type of venomous poison developed by the Miao King, consisting of two parts, a primary one and a secondary one.
The person who takes the medicine appears no different from an ordinary person and will not feel anything amiss. However, the person who takes the secondary pill will gradually become obsessed with the person who took the primary pill. As time goes by, they may even become completely obedient to the person.
The reason why the Miao King was able to control the Miao people for so long can be largely attributed to the Enchanting Gu Pill.
There is no antidote for this medicine unless the person dies, not even the miraculous antidote she possesses that can cure all poisons, so she is very relieved.
Jiang Xinrui has staked her entire life on this rebirth, and what she wants is not to be second only to the emperor.
She not only wants to make all those who owe her pay the price, but she also wants to be the ruler of all people and the ruler of the world, and never again depend on anyone for survival.
Yan Xiao was unaware that Jiang Xinrui was already in a semi-mad state, and she was currently staring at Shen Muzhi.
Just as Shen Muzhi had said, in less than two days he received a wedding invitation from Yanyun City, which clearly stated the names of Jiang Xinrui and Qi Chengfeng.
Although these rebel armies in the Qing Kingdom, who had seized territory and declared themselves kings, were enemies rather than friends, they maintained a facade of cooperation and mutual benefit because the Qing King had not yet been eliminated and barbarian bandits were eyeing them from the outside.
Therefore, Shen Muzhi was not the only one to receive the wedding invitation; other forces also did. However, due to Jiang Xinrui's special status, sending the invitation to Jiangbei City was somewhat of a slap in the face.
These kinds of wedding invitations are sent out without any expectation that the recipient will actually attend. Usually, a messenger of moderate status is sent to deliver a small gift as a token gesture.
Shen Muzhi meant the same thing, but Yan Xiao had a different idea.
"What did you say? You're going to Yanyun City?"
Shen Muzhi was so shocked that he stood up abruptly from his seat, his voice trembling.
He wondered if he had misheard. With the situation so chaotic, wouldn't Yan Xiao going to Yanyun City be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?
Although Qi Chengfeng wouldn't openly harm her, he could easily find a reason to keep Yan Xiao as a hostage. Wasn't that just reckless?
Yan Xiao covered her ears, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Muzhi, and complained:
Why are you shouting so loudly? Can't you let me finish what I have to say?
Shen Muzhi wasn't really interested in hearing this, and refused outright with a dark expression:
"There's nothing to say. Don't even think about it. Just stay in Jiangbei."
Qi Chengfeng is no saint. If you're bored, you can turn Jiangbei City upside down and play around with it, but you can't go to Yanyun City.
Seeing that Yanxiao seemed about to get angry, he quickly added:
"If you really want to go to Yanyun City, then wait a bit. Let me think of a foolproof plan to take Yanyun City first, but it's absolutely not possible now."
Yan Xiao had just glared when she heard what Shen Mu said next, and the little bit of anger that had just risen was instantly extinguished.
She felt both annoyed and amused. Why was Shen Muzhi treating her like a three-year-old? Did she really seem so reckless as to risk her life for a game?
Anyway, she had to go to Yanyun City no matter what. This wedding invitation was her chance. She couldn't sleep peacefully as long as Jiang Xinrui lived.
If she wanted to go to Yanyun City, it would be much easier with Shen Muzhi's help, so if Shen Muzhi disagreed, she would really be in some trouble.
It's probably impossible to use force against Shen Muzhi, so we'll have to try a softer approach.
Thinking this, Yan Xiao immediately put on a gentle expression, pouring tea for Shen Muzhi while speaking softly:
"Husband, can't you let me finish speaking first? It's too arbitrary of you to refuse me without even letting me finish. Is this what you meant by being good to me?"
Aside from when they first met on the ship, Yanxiao had never called him "husband" before, always referring to him as "General." When she was angry, she would call him by his full name, Shen Muzhi.
She hadn't thought much of it before, but now, the word "husband," coupled with that gentle tone and that pitiful, slightly aggrieved look in his eyes, completely stunned Shen Muzhi.
"I, I, cough~"
Shen Muzhi's mind went blank, and he couldn't remember what he wanted to say even after stammering for a long time.
He coughed awkwardly, strategically picked up his teacup and took a sip before finding his voice. His tone softened considerably, indicating that Yan Xiao should tell him what was going on.
Yanxiao's idea was simple: in war, one should not kill envoys, which is an unwritten rule, especially when it comes to gifts for a wedding.
Jiang Xinrui had seen her face before, but that was during her time as a black ghost. She didn't know what she looked like now, and the people of Yanyun City knew even less.
In addition, he had only been in Jiangbei City for a short time, and at that time, Jiangbei City was still in a semi-closed state due to Shen Muzhi's original order, so the news had not spread at all.
No one would be so free as to go to such great lengths just to find out what Shen Muzhi's wife looks like.
Moreover, she has modern makeup skills. She couldn't achieve much with makeup during her black-clad days, but she can still make her face look ordinary now.
Therefore, she planned to disguise herself as a maid, accompany the delegation to deliver wedding gifts to Jiang Xinrui, and then find an opportunity to kill her.
Calculating the time, more than half a month has passed. By the time she arrives, the little bit of supernatural energy left in Jiang Xinrui's body will have long since disappeared, and she will have to think of a new way.
Shen Muzhi's brows remained furrowed ever since he heard Yan Xiao's meaning.
Judging from Yan Xiao's attitude, you can tell that she has no choice but to go. The main reason she told him so much is probably because she needs him to cover for her, not because she cares much about his opinion.
He had known for a long time that his childhood sweetheart was now very opinionated and daring to do what she wanted. He hadn't thought much of it before, since he could protect her in Jiangbei City and nothing serious would happen to her.
But now there's a bit of a headache. Jiangbei City isn't enough for her to run wild anymore. She wants to go and explore the territory of her mortal enemy. What should she do?
