The general who had gone to return received the order, but this time he brought back more than just Tianyun; Xiao Ziwu, who was always by her side, was also with her.
Xiao Ziwu was dressed in a cold, dark black outfit. His tall and straight figure was like a pine tree under the sky, yet he also exuded a cold and aloof aura like snow, making people afraid to look directly at him.
The woman with a graceful and slender figure barely reached his chin, completely enveloped by his tall frame. Only when he gazed at the woman before him did his cold eyes reveal a moment of tenderness.
Gu Yi was so itchy he was going crazy, and the pain was like his skin was being pierced. He lay on the bed like a lump of mud.
The two people standing side by side shared a cold gaze as they coldly watched Gu Yi writhing on the bed. Their icy eyes conveyed the same message.
—You reap what you sow
Xiao Ziwu said to the four unaware old men, "You may leave now."
Presumably, they had important military matters to discuss, so the military doctors dared not linger. But as they were leaving, the old man with the severed finger glanced at the two people's tightly clasped hands and laughed in a way that seemed utterly disrespectful to his elders.
Her cheeks, as clear as snow, were tinged with crimson. Even if she wanted to pull them out, she would only be held even tighter.
Gu Yi now understood everything. It turned out that he had been kept in the dark all along.
Xiao Ziwu had long seen through his intentions and knew that he had conspired with the Xihuan people to take his life. However, he did not take action against him after returning to camp. This was probably because he still had some value to him!
Gu Yi guessed correctly—
Xiao Ziwu wouldn't let him go for now because he still wanted to extract evidence of Xiao Limin's treason from him. Otherwise, he would have been a dead man in Xiao Ziwu's eyes the moment he kidnapped the young woman!
Tianyun pulled a small medicine bottle sealed with red silk from his sleeve and waved it in front of Gu Yi, who was sweating profusely: "This is the antidote for the poison you have been given."
The woman's laughter was more melodious than silver bells, but to Gu Yi's ears, it was more terrifying than a death warrant.
He mustered only a fraction of his senses, and with a swift movement, he reached out to snatch the medicine bottle from her hand.
Xiao Ziwu waved his palm expressionlessly, and Gu Yi flew backward like a kite with a broken string. A metallic taste rose in his throat, and Gu Yi turned his head and vomited a mouthful of blood.
The old subordinate was dumbfounded and hurriedly jumped over to help Gu Yi up.
He dared not provoke the highly skilled young general, so he could only turn his anger towards the little girl: "I never expected that you, at such a young age, would have a heart more venomous than a snake or scorpion, actually poisoning the deputy general while you were treating his illness!"
Why don't you mention that Gu Yi colluded with the enemy country to murder the prince?
In order to eliminate Xiao Limin's rivals and remove Xiao Ziwu, who had a chance to seize the throne, they recklessly killed Xiao Ziwu, which meant she could no longer poison Gu Yi.
Tianyun was furious that they dared to bring this up again.
It's a case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps"?!
Xiao Ziwu couldn't stand any insults directed at the young woman. He disdained verbal arguments and struck again with his palm, sending his subordinate flying far away.
