Chapter 3522 Poisoning
Nan Yan frowned slightly: "Where are you taking us?"
Hearing her words, Li Bushang's face flickered with a smile, but at the same time, his wolf eyes gleamed with ambition in the night. He leaned close to Nan Yan's ear and whispered, "Go to a place where you won't be wronged, and you won't suffer any more."
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Li Bushang said: "You are a noble concubine here. No matter how noble you are, you are still a noble concubine."
“…”
"But I'm with you. I won't let you suffer any injustice. All the wealth and glory you've enjoyed will remain unchanged. I'll treat you better than he did, better than anyone else in this world."
Although it was pitch black around, a ray of light seemed to flash before Nan Yan's eyes.
She suddenly seemed to feel something.
But she didn't ask immediately. Instead, she was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "How did you know? This is what I want."
“…”
"What if I don't want this?"
Li Bushang was silent for a moment, then he held her in his arms more gently: "But I just want to give it to you."
Although such gentle words were enough to make any woman in the world intoxicated, Nan Yan felt desolate in her heart when she heard them.
She whispered, "Li Bu Shang, why don't you want to wake up?"
“…”
"Wouldn't it be nice if you gave all this to someone who deserves it?"
Li Bushang said firmly: "No one is more worthy than you."
Nan Yan sighed deeply.
She seemed a little tired and could no longer hold on. She stopped talking and slowly closed her eyes. Li Bushang couldn't tell whether he was happy about her silence or some other emotion, but he still held her tightly in his arms and shook the reins to increase the speed slightly.
At this time, people in the city should have noticed that the imperial concubine was missing.
However, even if they knew that he had taken the imperial concubine away, the chaos in the city at this time was not enough for them to make a correct judgment, and it was even more impossible for them to send troops to catch up with them so quickly. Therefore, he still had everything under control.
But it’s already three quarters past midnight.
Although the sky was still dark, it was already the darkness before dawn. Li Bushan still wanted to reach the place he wanted to take her as soon as possible before dawn. Only by going there would they be absolutely safe.
Only then will she belong to him completely and utterly.
Thinking of this, he hugged Nan Yan tightly and squeezed the horse's belly. The horse immediately trotted forward. Nan Yan opened her eyes due to the jolting, thought for a moment, and said, "Xin Ping... When will you let me see her?"
Li Bushang said gently, "It's just in front."
"Front……?"
Nan Yan frowned and looked forward.
Although it was pitch black, she had been back and forth here several times and was deeply impressed. She knew clearly that the steep north slope was not far ahead.
That was the place where Li Bushang blinded one of Xiahou Jiu's eyes and helped her and Zhu Feng escape from trouble.
It was because of that incident that she kept Li Bu Shang by her side, but she never expected that now...
In the same place, there are two of them, as if they have a beginning and an end.
But, Zhu Feng was not there.
Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh softly. At this time, a high earthen slope appeared in front of them. Li Bushan held her waist tightly and trotted up the earthen slope. Suddenly, the view in front of her became clear, and a gust of wind blew over with grass debris from the wild field.
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, but saw the faint light of fire in front of her at a glance.
Someone is waiting for them there.

Under the same dark night sky, although the lights were brightly lit everywhere in the Chen Mansion in Doubei Town, by this time, most people had fallen asleep.
Even the men patrolling the corridor were sleeping soundly, leaning against the pillars with their swords in their arms.
It's just that they slept more deeply than usual.
After finishing the midnight snack sent by the kitchen to help them get through the long night, these people fell asleep one by one. Even when a group of people passed by them, the torches in their hands illuminated the entire mansion, and the footsteps were orderly and heavy, they did not react at all.
Until a big hand pushed the door open.
With a loud bang, the door hit the walls on both sides. In such a silent night, the beams seemed to tremble. However, what was even more shocking was that in the originally quiet room, two people were found, one lying on the table and the other curled up on the ground. Both of them had ashen faces, black lips, and black blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. Both of them were struggling and groaning in pain.
It's poisoning.
There was an empty bowl on the table and some debris on the floor.
Seeing this scene, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the person who pushed open the door.
The man curled up on the ground had already heard the sound of the door opening. He endured the severe pain and barely raised his head. When he saw the man in front of him clearly, he immediately revealed an expression of disbelief: "Big, big brother..."
This person is Chen Wenxiong.
The person who had just pushed open the door and was standing in front of him with an expressionless face was Chen Wenxiao, who they thought was leading the army to attack Yongzhou City and would definitely not appear in front of them tonight.
Hearing Chen Wenxiong's voice, Chen Bi Ri, who was already suffering from the severe pain in his abdomen and was almost dying, reluctantly turned his head from the table. When he saw Chen Wenxiao, he couldn't believe his eyes: "Wenxiao, you, how could you--"
Chen Wenxiao raised his foot and kicked a piece of bowl fragment on the ground with a clang.
Then walk in slowly.
He lowered his head, looking at his brother who was in great pain after being poisoned, then looked coldly at Chen Biri's pale face, and said, "Are you surprised?"
“…”
"Do you think I will never come back tonight?"
“…”
"Or maybe you actually want me to die outside, so that you don't have to give me any explanation, right, uncle?"
At this moment, even though he was already in agony and on the verge of death, Chen Bi Ri immediately understood what was happening. He opened his eyes wide, which were completely bloodshot, and said, "It's you. This poison is yours—"
There is no need to say more about the rest.
Because Du Xingyong, who had just brought them the two bowls of soup, was standing behind Chen Wenxiao. When he looked at their miserable situation, there was no expression on his face.
Chen Wenxiong was instantly enraged. He struggled to get up and said fiercely, "You, you poisoned us! How dare you—"
He opened his eyes wide and wanted to pounce on Chen Wenxiao.
But Chen Wenxiao raised his hand and threw him to the ground. He looked at his brother with cold eyes and said with a sneer, "You have forced me to this point, what is there to be afraid of?"
