Lan Tingrong said, "Although the imperial physicians are conducting research, there has been no progress so far."
If he were here, poison would definitely be able to...
Feng Guang froze, because she couldn't help but think of that man.
Even though her feelings were clear, the thought of it still made her heart ache.
Seeing that her complexion was not right, Gu Yan raised his hand to smooth her hair and said softly, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. If it is poison, there will definitely be an antidote. We will find a way. I also brought some osmanthus cake. Would Your Majesty like to eat some?"
To prevent the osmanthus cake from spoiling, he ordered it to be kept chilled all the way, and also ordered people to prepare a lot of ingredients for making osmanthus cake. However, the conditions in the military camp could not compare with those in the palace, and perhaps even if it was made fresh, it would not taste as good.
Osmanthus cake...
Feng Guang instinctively grabbed his hand and exclaimed, "Xue Ran!"
Gu Yan's eyes darkened, and he remained silent for a moment, but quickly smiled gently again and asked softly, "Who is Xue Ran?"
His gentle expression concealed a cold and indifferent attitude...
She was exactly the same as Xue Ran.
Feng Guang's hand trembled, and she let go of Gu Yan's hand. "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back and rest first."
She walked out of the military tent, looking utterly dejected.
Gu Yan stood still for a long time, his aura strange and unpredictable, as if he were in the midst of a strange storm.
Xia Fengya slowly moved behind Lan Tingrong, trying to minimize her presence; she was afraid.
Lan Tingrong hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Your Highness?"
"General Lan, I have other matters to attend to. Please take care of the antidote. I'll take my leave now." With that, he also left.
Xia Fengya then patted her chest and relaxed.
Lan Tingrong asked, "Does the princess seem very afraid of Prince Qian?"
"General, if you see a person who has a room, and in that room, there are many... many human pigs..." Xia Fengya trembled as she recalled the terrifying scene from years ago. "Those people, their hands and feet severed, their eyes gouged out, their tongues pulled out, yet they are still alive, living a life worse than death. And the reason they became like this is simply because they spoke disrespectfully to the most respected person in Dongyun Kingdom..."
Xia Fengya gripped Lan Tingrong's sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with panic. "This kind of person... is terrifying, isn't he?"
“Princess…” Lan Tingrong’s handsome face turned cold. He was suspicious because Gu Yan didn’t seem like the kind of man who would do such a cruel thing.
Xia Fengya was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. She smiled brightly again, as if she wasn't the one who had just been trembling with fear. "This story is scary, isn't it? It's because I was naughty when I was little, and Uncle Wang told it to me on purpose to scare me. It's a childhood trauma for me, and I'm still afraid of Uncle Wang now."
"I see." Lan Tingrong said, "A story is just a story. Although it's scary, the princess doesn't need to take it seriously."
"Yes, I know." Xia Fengya nodded obediently, but a hint of fear, unseen by others, was hidden in her smiling eyes.
She still remembers that sunny day when, at the age of thirteen, she sat on the ground, trembling with fear, in front of that dark and dreadful room.
The man, bathed in sunlight, smiled slightly on his thin lips, looking as beautiful as a god who did not exist in this murky world.
He bent down, stroking her head, a faint smile playing on his lips, ethereal and enchanting. In his most captivating voice, he said, "Your Highness, this is our secret. If His Majesty were to find out..."
Xia Fengya didn't ask him what the second half of his sentence was, because she clearly felt that if he put his hand on her head with even a little force, she would be decapitated.
