She committed suicide.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ye's mind went blank, and she almost lost her balance.
He didn't even have time to think before rushing to the prison.
He staggered, his face was deathly pale, and he even tripped and fell on the road.
When he stood before the prison, he could see nothing else.
The woman was lying there.
Silently.
Chen Ziming, who was woken up in the middle of the night, did not expect Jiang Tian to be so resolute. He rushed over to save her life.
Jiang Tian probably wanted to keep her body intact, so she chose to hang herself.
Her movements were extremely subtle. If it weren't for the keen intuition of the guards who came over to check on her, she probably wouldn't have even had her last breath.
Chen Ziming was sweating profusely as he administered acupuncture to Jiang Tian.
Yuan Ye stared intently at the dim wall without blinking.
There was a line of words written in blood above.
"With my uncle saved, I have no more regrets. This life has been full of hardships; I hope for a peaceful one in the next. I will repay the general's kindness in my next life. Take care."
treasure.
That's easy for you to say.
If he can tolerate a woman's betrayal and deception, it only proves that he misjudged her.
But he wouldn't allow Jiang Tian to die like that.
That vibrant woman, the woman who caused him pain, the woman who once whispered sweet nothings in his ear—if she had turned into a handful of dust—
Yuan Ye couldn't help but cover her chest.
Pierced by a thousand arrows.
Tears streamed down Yuan Ye's face.
In the darkness, at least no one saw his vulnerability at that moment.
He didn't understand why this woman had to do this.
Instead of taking the path to survival, they chose the path to ruin.
He has already decided to let her go.
He had no intention of retaliating against her, nor of doing anything to her; he had even prepared the banknotes.
Parting ways amicably is the best outcome for both of them.
Even though he was deceived, Jiang Tian had saved his life, and her care for him during that time was genuine.
Therefore, neither of them owes the other anything.
Jiang Tian had her own agenda, and he also enjoyed her gentleness.
He was deceived, he accepted his fate, and he let go.
But Jiang Tian—she had no intention of letting him go at all.
Seeing her bloodless face, her chest barely rising and falling, lying there motionless, Yuan Ye felt an excruciating pain.
Why?
She got everything she wanted!
Why do I still have to die?
Chen Ziming concentrated intently on treating Jiang Tian for two full hours before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Her life has been saved, but she can no longer stay here. General, you must arrange a good environment for her and find someone to take good care of her. Don't forget, she still has poison in her body."
Yuan Ye couldn't control herself and grabbed his collar, her eyes red-rimmed: "What on earth is she doing!"
Chen Ziming was shocked that Yuan Ye would suddenly go berserk; he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Having finally been freed, Chen Ziming coughed several times.
This is truly an undeserved disaster.
It seems the Crown Prince has truly fallen.
"Don't you know very well that she has already taken the poison and put the antidote in your hands? Even if she doesn't die now, she will still lose her life a year from now."
"Actually—she wasn't a bad person. If you had to say she was bad, she wasn't that bad. After all, she didn't harm you; she just used you to do some things. She definitely didn't want to live anymore. When she took the poison, she probably guessed that when the truth came out, you would never forgive her and wouldn't give her the antidote. Things went so smoothly, and the time was far ahead of schedule, so she simply took her own life."
After Chen Ziming finished expressing his guess, Yuan Ye remained silent for a long time.
He remembered that day when he gave her the antidote, but she refused.
In fact, she never intended to live.
From beginning to end, she planned to use him thoroughly, then abandon him and go to the underworld herself.
Yuan Ye remained silent for a very long time.
Jiang Tian was transferred to Yuan Ye's General's Mansion.
There were maids and servants there, all of whom he sent to take care of Jiang Tian.
About seven days later, Jiang Tian woke up.
Chen Ziming took her pulse again and found that she was fine.
Yuan Ye never went to see her.
He simply sent someone to tell her that after she recovered, he would prepare a carriage to take her back to the capital.
Even if she wants to die, she shouldn't die at the border and cause him trouble.
Jiang Tian remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I will listen to the general, go beyond the border, and then plan something else."
Yuan Ye listened to his subordinate's report without any expression on his face.
He was very busy for the next period of time.
He will be leaving soon, and he should make sure everything is arranged.
He grew more silent each day, and his aura became more imposing. In addition, he personally sought justice for Zhao Zhen, and the soldiers all respected him.
Knowing that he would be returning to the capital soon to report on his duties, everyone guessed that with his military achievements, he probably wouldn't be coming back.
Everyone was even more reluctant to part with him and listened to him more and more.
One day, Yuan Ye returned to the general's mansion.
The General's Mansion used to be Zhao Zhen's residence, and many of his belongings are still there.
After his father escaped danger, Zhao Zhen's son finally believed Yuan Ye and was willing to communicate with him normally.
He revealed a secret: there was a secret letter in his father's study, and he asked Yuan Ye to have someone retrieve it for him.
This secret letter might be useful in bringing down Grand Tutor Chen.
Yuan Ye didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps he was suffering from a splitting headache and couldn't sleep at night while staying in the camp, or perhaps he was just too idle and wanted to go back and visit. In any case, he still returned to the General's Mansion.
