"That's exactly what I mean. Since the people on Watten's side can drug me, we can also drug them. It's very difficult to make an antidote for this kind of poison. Even if the people on the Jin side have it, they won't hand it over easily. They will definitely bargain. I guess they won't be interested in us during this period..."

After listening to her explanation, Wen Jingchi nodded with satisfaction, "This is a good idea."

"Of course I don't care who I am."

Chu Weiyue was so proud that she wanted to raise her nose to the sky.

Wen Jingchi raised his finger and gently scratched her nose.

He rubbed her head, hugged Chu Weiyue tightly in his arms, and pressed his lips against hers.

Chu Weiyue hugged his neck reflexively.

The temperature in the room kept rising until the second half of the night when it gradually subsided...

The next morning, Chief Wateng received news that Chu Weiyue had been poisoned.

"Are you serious?"

he asked ecstatically.

The subordinate nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Lord Chief, Wen Jingchi went everywhere to find the imperial physician this morning, even the quack doctors were also found, it seems that Chu Weiyue will not be able to escape this time!"

The leader threw his head back and laughed happily, "That's great!"

The subordinate brought a cup of tea to him, and the chief drank it without hesitation.

Today's tea tastes very different, with an inexplicable sweetness.

The man pretended to be serious and talked to him about business.

That night, the leader had a high fever.

After examination by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that he had been poisoned by the Jin Dynasty's Datura poison.

In desperation, the leader could only send people to the Jin Kingdom to ask for the antidote, but the emperor of the Jin Kingdom directly blackmailed the two cities.

Although the two cities are not many, the Waten themselves are a nomadic people, so how could they have so much land?

The cities that Wen Chenxuan gave them last time added up to ten in total, and what they wanted were the two largest ones.

After reading the letter, the leader was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, "This damn Jin Kingdom actually dared to threaten me!"

He covered his chest, and a suffocating feeling made him spit out turbid blood again.

Looking at the bright red blood on the ground, he couldn't help but gasp.

They could only send another envoy to the Jin Kingdom for negotiations.

I thought that I would be safe if I got the antidote from the Jin Kingdom.

But the poison that Chu Weiyue had administered was spiked with something, so even with the antidote from the Jin Kingdom, it couldn't completely detoxify him.

Doctor Waten was in a panic and tried various methods to treat the leader, and the situation was in chaos for a while.

That night, Wen Jingchi sent out his most elite assassins to burn down their military camp's grain warehouse.

They thought that Chu Weiyue was poisoned and Wen Jingchi had no time to split himself, so he naturally neglected the defense.

This also allowed Chief Wateng to personally witness Wen Jingchi's methods.

I had no choice but to write a letter to beg.

Although the remaining cities were saved, a treaty had to be signed.

An area was designated in the city for the people of Waten to live or farm, and the rest of the land belonged to the people here, and the two sides did not infringe on each other.

The chief was unwilling to accept the defeat, but due to physical reasons and Wen Jingchi's military conquest, he had no choice but to give in.

Soon half a month passed, Wen Chenxuan's health improved a little, but he still couldn't get out of bed and could only lie in bed and be served by the palace maids.

During this period, no one was allowed to see him, and he could not see anyone except Wen Jingchi's men.

Coincidentally, news spread in the palace that Lin Zixi was pregnant.

When Lord Hou found out, he rushed to visit him immediately.

Lin Zixi was sitting in the garden, stroking her belly with an excited smile on her lips.

When he saw the Marquis coming, he stood up immediately.

"Father, you are here!"

Her eyes sparkled, and she had never thought that one day she would be able to openly call the Marquis "father".

The Marquis seemed to have been waiting for the word "father" for a long time, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

He has officially adopted Lin Zixi as his adopted daughter, and everyone seems to think there is nothing wrong with it.

Lin Zixi wanted to pay his respects to the Marquis as he had done in the past, but was quickly stopped by the Marquis.

"You absolutely cannot do that. You are now a rich man. We are king and subject. I should show you respect as your father."

"Father, let's not be polite..."

The look she gave the Marquis was full of deep meaning that only they could understand.

After chatting about some trivial matters, the Marquis set his eyes on the palace maid next to him.

"What are you standing there for? Come down. I want to talk to your queen alone."

The young palace maids obediently lined up to leave.

After everyone left, the Marquis quickly closed the door and grabbed Lin Zixi's hand.

"You are pregnant at the right time. The emperor's health is getting worse day by day. According to the imperial physician, it is unknown whether he will be able to give birth to a child in the future. If you can successfully give birth to a boy, I believe you will definitely be able to ascend to the throne."

Lin Zixi's eyes lit up, these words hit exactly what she was thinking.

"But I'm worried that my sister might get pregnant too. If she gets pregnant too..."

She bit her lip tightly and deliberately didn't say the rest.

"You are worrying unnecessarily. I went back home two days ago and asked the doctor at home to check my pulse. There was no sign of pregnancy. Besides, she has a cold constitution and I'm afraid it's not suitable for her to get pregnant.

This is something I brought from my mother’s womb. Doctors have treated me before, but the results were not satisfactory.”

Lin Zixi had never heard of this before, and hearing it from the Marquis made her feel much more at ease.

Being able to tell her this secret means that he has placed all his hopes on her.

She wanted her child to ascend the throne and herself to sit firmly on the throne of Queen, so she had to have the help of the Marquis's Mansion.

"Don't worry, father. I will listen to you and will never let you down!"

The Marquis curled his lips with satisfaction, showed some concern, left a gift and left.

Upon learning that the Marquis had come to the palace, Chu Ranxin excitedly went to look for him.

When we arrived at the Imperial Garden, we happened to see him coming out of the cobblestone path that led to Lin Zixi's residence.

Her face suddenly darkened to the extreme and she ran to the Marquis angrily.

"Dad, where did you go?"

The Marquis was stunned for a moment, then glared at him coldly, "Why, do I need to tell you where I'm going?"

"I know it even if you don't tell me. It must be because of that bitch Lin Zixi!"

She clenched her fists and roared in anger.

"I am your biological daughter. She is just your adopted daughter. You actually went to see her first instead of me. What do you think of me, your biological daughter?"

“That’s enough!”

The Marquis was completely enraged by her and no longer had any of the kindness he once had.

"You really don't know how to advance or retreat. I told you to help Zixi, but you actually went against her in every way. Don't think I don't know what you did. Take care of yourself. I can't count on you, girl."

He snorted in dissatisfaction and walked away angrily.

Chu Ranxin was completely stunned and stood there, only then did he realize that his father hated him.
