It's over! No update in four days! Here I come!

"You should take a rest first. I have something else to do."
Jin Suting asked, "What's so important?"
Helan Ruizhe avoided his gaze and just said it was nothing, without mentioning another word.
Helan Ruizhe's abnormality made Jin Suting feel that something was wrong. After he went out, she undressed and went to bed, but she couldn't sleep. She listened to the whistling wind outside and thought about something quietly.
Suddenly, the door of the tent was opened, and Jin Suting thought it was Helan Ruizhe who came back.
But the sound of footsteps sounded wrong; this sound was lighter, and Helan Ruizhe was wearing a loose robe just now, but when he came in there was no sound of his clothes fluttering.
It was too dark, and Jin Suting couldn't see clearly with her eyes open. She could only vaguely see a figure. When she was about to light a lamp, her hand was held down. The person's pupils met her eyes, and she suddenly woke up.
"Jin Wade?!"
Sure enough, his mouth was covered and he couldn't speak.
Jin Wade threatened in a low voice: "If you want to live, you'd better shut up!"
Jin Suting was stunned for a moment. In her memory, Jin Wade was a quiet scholar. He had changed so much after not seeing him for three years.
Although she didn't know why he suddenly appeared here, she had no choice but to nod. After all, this man was her brother, and he had never hurt her before. No matter what, she had to protect him.
As soon as he let go, Jin Suting felt like she was reborn. "Why are you here?"
Jin Wade said: "The prince asked me to come here. He asked me to give this to you."
He then took out a small packet of medicine and said, "This poison is called Soul-Breaking Powder. It's colorless and odorless, so you can't even tell if you add it to food. If you eat it, the poison will kill you within three hours. That's plenty of time for you to escape."
Jin Suting stared at the packet of poison and murmured, "He still won't let Alan go..."
"Why must he die in order to seize the throne..."
Jin Wade seemed not to hear clearly, "What did you say?"
She wiped her tears, pretended nothing had happened, and took the poison.
"Go ahead, I'll give him an explanation."
After Jin Wade left, Jin Suting stared at the medicine bag for a long time, put it in her clothes, and closed her eyes.
Jin Wade left the tent and went around the back mountain to report to a man in black robes.
"My Lord, she accepted the medicine."
The man in black robes turned his back to him and nodded. He then asked, "Did she say anything?"
Jin Wade shook his head and seemed to say something, but he didn't hear it clearly.
After thinking for a while, he added, "She seems to be crying."
The black-robed man's body trembled noticeably, and he waved his hand, "You shouldn't stay here any longer, go back."
After saying this, Jin Wade respectfully retreated into the darkness.
The next morning, Jin Suting put the Soul-Breaking Powder into the porridge she had cooked in the morning.
Waiting for Helan Ruizhe to come for breakfast, he seemed to have not returned home all night, looked very tired, and his robe was missing.
His eyes were particularly deep. He glanced at the porridge on the table and said something with a hint of meaning: "Porridge in the morning?"
Jin Suting scooped a bowl and said, "I'll have the porridge, and you can have the sesame cake."
Jin Suting didn't use much firewood to cook porridge in the morning. She was afraid that the people from southern Xinjiang would discover their base, so she only cooked a small bowl, enough for her alone.
But Helan Ruizhe said, "I want to drink porridge, too."
