Chapter 915 The Show Begins
"My husband, why is it said that we will die within seven days?"
Miao Yin blinked. Even the city lord of Sishui City has his moments of pettiness. Here he comes to test her again.
As an observer, Miaoyin could see clearly, and with her tenacious will to survive, she easily avoided danger each time.
"It's a slow-acting poison. It's been seven days since Qi Heng took the antidote. If he doesn't take the antidote soon, his chances of survival are slim."
Yuwen Kun did not have the antidote; he was merely testing the waters, and then waited anxiously for the answer.
“But you are enemies, you have no reason to save him.”
Miao Yin blinked, carefully choosing her words, and said, "I know Qi Heng, and he has helped me a lot. Of course, I don't want him to die."
In short, Yuwen Kun's face immediately darkened, and his head emitted a green glow.
Upon seeing this, Miaoyin quickly continued, "However, he is your enemy. If he doesn't die, he will continue to target you and bring you danger."
"That's right."
There seemed to be a turning point; Yuwen Kun's expression softened slightly, though it remained unpleasant.
"So why should I save him?"
Miaoyin said that ever since she married Yuwen Kun, she has considered herself a part of Sishui City, and her heart has long been biased.
As Yuwen Kun's wife, she naturally had to side with her own man and would never do something foolish like siding with outsiders.
"Perhaps I'm being a bit malicious, but when it comes to choices, everyone has their own destiny. Qi Heng, take care of yourself."
Miao Yin practically said she hoped Qi Heng would go to hell, which doesn't fit her kind and loyal character.
After a flawless and impeccable speech, Yuwen Kun's expression changed from gloomy to sunny. He turned his head, revealing a big smile, before reverting to his usual cold and composed demeanor.
After Yuwen Kun left, Miaoyin wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and calmed her breathing. Every time she talked to Yuwen Kun, it felt like she was facing a life-or-death ordeal.
Now that Miaoyin has returned to Jinyuguan, the first thing she does is go to the kitchen to inform the people Qi Heng left behind.
It's no wonder she trusted Qi Heng. When her parents faced a crisis, it was Qi Heng's people who helped resolve it, proving he kept his word. Helian Cheng, on the other hand, only wanted to use her, using nice words to fool her into working for him.
Having received a satisfactory answer from Miaoyin, Helian Cheng felt refreshed and made an appointment with Yuwen Kun to sneak into Qi Heng's residence that night.
...
As dusk fell, in a small courtyard on the northwestern border of the Great Qi Dynasty, Lin Yuesha sat in her room, looking dejected.
“Miss, this porridge has been hot for an hour. It’s been reheated and cooled repeatedly, but you still have to have a bite.”
Bai Cha's eyes were swollen like peaches. Ever since she learned the bad news, she felt her young mistress's sadness and secretly cried several times at night. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she had feelings for Qi Heng.
Bai Cha felt sorry for Lin Yuesha. If Qi Heng didn't make it through, the young lady would become a widow.
The problem is that her young lady is married to Qi Heng, and she can't get rid of him.
It is difficult for a widow to remarry; the best outcome is that of Madam Chen.
Bai Cha rubbed her eyelids and choked back tears as she offered her words of comfort.
"White Tea, I have no appetite. You can leave now. I want to be alone."
Lin Yuesha's mind went blank. Helian Cheng must have received the news. Judging by the fastest possible speed, he should arrive tonight. Facing these people, she absolutely could not reveal any flaws.
"Miss, Madam Xu and Lord Xu have arrived to visit the young general."
Outside the door, Qingxing and Qi'er entered together.
The two had just recovered when they were sent back to guard Lin Yuesha.
"good."
Lin Yuesha stood up, but suddenly swayed. Qingxing was quick enough to catch her.
"Miss, please be careful. If you don't eat or drink, the young general will be heartbroken to see you like this when he wakes up."
Persuasive words are all-powerful; Lin Yuesha had prepared them in advance, and Qingxing could recite them fluently.
"What if he doesn't wake up? What use is my food and drink then?"
Lin Yuesha's tone was cold, a chilling coldness born from heartbreak and despair.
Her voice was hoarse; she neither wept nor shed tears.
Lin Yuesha originally wanted to cry, but then she felt it was too dramatic. If Qi Heng was really poisoned, she wouldn't be able to cry.
Crying is useless and solves nothing. You might as well save your energy and think about how to deal with it.
As long as a person has breath, they should not give up. If a person is truly gone, they should make sure their descendants are well taken care of.
The female general in Xiao Qiuyue's story, after her husband died on the battlefield, suppressed her grief and did everything she was supposed to do.
"aunt."
Upon seeing Madam Xu, Lin Yuesha immediately rushed forward, embraced Madam Xu's waist, and wept uncontrollably.
Although the woman is strong, she will definitely not be able to hold back her emotions when she sees her family.
As Lin Yuesha cried, Helian Cheng and Yuwen Kun, who had just hidden on the roof, looked at each other. Yuwen Kun thought to himself, "Qi Heng is undoubtedly a scumbag. Look how well he's fooled this imposter. He's almost ready to commit suicide for love."
Helian Cheng became increasingly convinced of the reliability of the source of the information.
"Good child, you've gone through a lot."
Unaware of the truth, Madam Xu's eyes immediately reddened as soon as she spoke.
Madam Xu had no daughters and had always treated Lin Yuesha as her own. Now that Qi Heng's fate was unknown, she was heartbroken.
With their commander fallen, Madam Xu was at a loss as to what to do in the upcoming battle. Without Qi Heng, it was as if the army had lost its backbone, and morale was low.
"Mother, things haven't reached the final stage yet. Your actions will only make my cousin more upset."
Xu Da looked around carefully before saying, "Let's be careful, walls have ears."
“Yuwen Kun and Helian Cheng will definitely try to find out the news and investigate the truth. We are just trying to fool them by making it seem like the young general is still here in the camp.”
Madam Xu sighed and said, "It would be good if we could buy some time and have a chance to ease the situation. We choose to cooperate with the Wei family."
"Helian Cheng is stupid and easy to fool, but he has spies in the army. I just hope that our plan can catch Helian Cheng's spies."
Xu Da, recalling his ordeal in the dungeon of Helian's mansion, felt an urge to tear him to pieces and immediately began to slander him.
On the rooftop, Helian Cheng raised an eyebrow. Xu Da, this defeated and foolish prisoner of war, was actually mocking him as a fool. That was interesting.
The Xu family mother and son say whatever they want, so it can't be fake.
In Helian Cheng's view, Xu Da seemed to be gloating, and he immediately imagined a big drama unfolding in his mind.
The imposter Lin Yuesha was actually Qi Heng's subordinate and Xu Da's sweetheart. Because she was impersonating Lin Yuesha, she had to pretend to be in a real relationship with Qi Heng, leaving Xu Da feeling cheated on and filled with hatred for him.
To put it bluntly, this is a drama of two men vying for one woman.
What followed was that after Qi Heng's death, Xu Da outwardly expressed regret but inwardly was excited. He was a madman and had always been resentful of Qi Heng. With his thorn in his side gone and his beloved returning to his side, Xu Da was doubly happy.
What a dramatic and exciting story! Recently, Helian Cheng has been listening to too much about the Journey to the West and the pilgrimage to the West. He is more interested in the entanglements between men and women, and he has decided to become a writer and write a story.
