A quarter of an hour later, the maid came back with her head lowered, not daring to look around.
Seeing this, Wu Ya hurried over and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did it succeed?"
The maid looked up at her quickly, then quickly lowered her head, nodded, and said nothing.
Wu Ya thought that the matter was done, and her heart instantly returned to her stomach.
She raised her hand to let the maid leave, and she waited there, estimating the time it would take for the drug to take effect.
A stick of incense passed slowly, and the sound in the tent gradually died down.
Wu Ya suppressed her anxiety and approached the tent quietly.
Soon, the curtain was lifted, and she saw that only a small candle was left inside, illuminating only the small area in front of the table.
The whole tent looked dim and hazy.
Xie Yunqi was sitting at the desk at this time, rubbing his temple with his hand. The lines of his profile were hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Thank you, General~"
Wu Ya deliberately softened her voice, as if water could drip out of it.
Hearing this, Xie Yunqi narrowed his eyes and his vision became a little dazed.
In the flickering candlelight, he seemed to see the person in his heart. The moonlight outlined her graceful figure, her fiery red skirt was like a dancing flame, and there was a cinnabar mole on her forehead, as red as blood.
The neckline was very low, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, which glowed dimly in the dim tent.
Xie Yunqi's breathing stagnated and he blinked subconsciously.
At this moment, he almost blurted out the name engraved in his heart.
"Qingluan..."
However, before he could say anything, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
The princess should be in the capital at this moment and should not appear here.
Also, the princess wouldn't call him 'General'.
She only calls herself by her first name.
Xie Yunqi suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw Wu Ya's face with a charming smile.
"General, let Wuya help you get to bed..."
Wu Ya saw a moment of infatuation in the other person's eyes and thought that the matter was settled, so she became a little bolder, slowly walked towards Xie Yunqi, stretched out a hand and put it on his shoulder.
"It's late... General..."
Her voice was deliberately soft and seductive.
However, just as her fingers were about to touch Xie Yunqi's collar.
Next second!
"Click" sound!
Wu Ya's wrist was suddenly grabbed by Xie Yunqi, and he used the force to throw her down.
By the time she reacted, she had already fallen to the ground and felt a sharp pain in her wrist.
"You don't have any Chinese medicine?"
Wu Ya's pupils suddenly shrank and her voice changed tone.
Xie Yunqi sneered, the coldness in his eyes almost freezing people.
A quarter of an hour ago, when the maid came in to serve tea, he felt something was wrong.
She was so nervous that her hands were shaking and she didn't dare to look up at Xie Yunqi.
Just as the maid put down the teacup and prepared to leave, she was stopped by Xie Yunqi.
"stop!"
His voice was as cold as ice, carrying a strong sense of pressure.
The maid's body stiffened, her mind went blank, and cold sweat soaked her back.
"Who asked you to come?"
The maid knew she couldn't hide it, so she fell to her knees with a plop, her voice filled with tears.
"General, please spare my life! It was Princess Wuya who forced me to come here. She said she wanted to kill my family..."
Xie Yunqi lowered his eyes and looked at the cup of tea.
After a long while, he uttered a word.
"Go back and tell your master, 'It's done.'"
Wu Ya's face turned pale. Realizing that her conspiracy had been exposed, she struggled to get up and tried to escape from the tent.
And how could Xie Yunqi let her go so easily?
Especially, she dared to imitate Chu Qingluan!
It's simply courting death!
"Someone come!"
Soon, Shen Chi heard the noise here and rushed in with his men.
When I saw the situation inside the tent, I understood it instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Yunqi's ruthless orders were heard.
"Throw her into Helian Shuo's tent and tell him that if he fails to capture the royal court within ten days, the cavalry from the border of Great Chu will razed this grassland to the ground."
When Shen Chi heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
What my brother meant was that he only gave Helian Shuo ten days.
Otherwise, we must send troops directly to attack the Western Regions!
"yes!"
Shen Chi quickly took the order and left.
Wu Ya suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and began to beg for mercy.
"No! General, I was wrong! I shouldn't have offended you!"
"Please, for my brother's sake, let me go this time—"
Soon, Wu Ya's mouth was gagged and she was dragged directly into Helian Shuo's tent.
At that time, Helian Shuo was with several sons of tribal leaders. When they saw Wuya being thrown in in disheveled clothes, they were all stunned.
Wu Ya's appearance at the moment was really like a prostitute in a military tent. Her makeup was messy and a large area of white skin on her chest was exposed. How could she still have the dignity of a princess?
Helian Shuo's face turned pale, and he suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "Wu Ya! You——"
"Brother Wang! Save me! Xie Yunqi he--" Wu Ya knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
Helian Shuo was about to explode when he saw Shen Chi walk in with a bad look on his face.
Behind him were two soldiers from the Great Chu State, also with sullen faces.
Helian Shuo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
“General Shen, it’s so late. I don’t know what mistake Wu Ya made that made you do it yourself.”
Shen Chi had a cold face as he strode forward, his right hand on the hilt of the knife, a cold murderous aura emanating from his body.
