"Lin Wanqing, what if I refuse?"
He didn't believe that Lin Wanqing would go to such lengths to kill him.
If you really want him dead, why bother threatening him with the antidote?
"Xiao Yanchu, I'm just giving you a choice. If you behave, that's fine."
If you don't obey, I have my own ways to make you obey. Have you ever heard of the Heart-Binding Gu?
"I've already fed it my blood. All I need to do is implant the Gu worm into you, and for the rest of your life, you'll only have me in your heart and eyes. Then you'll have no choice but to obey."
Xiao Yanchu gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "Despicable!"
Lin Wanqing laughed heartily, "Xiao Yanchu, in this world, it's always the winner who takes all. As long as you can achieve your goal, the means don't matter."
Just then, Huanqing's tearful voice came from outside, "Your Highness, the Princess... the Princess is dying."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanchu struggled to get up, but a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he fell back onto the bed.
Lin Wanqing placed the medicine bottle on the table, then took out a small box, opened it, and poured some medicine powder into the bottle.
"I've mixed the antidote and the poison together. Whether you take it or not is up to you."
After saying that, Lin Wanqing turned and walked out of the tent. She didn't want to miss Su Ruojin's death; she still had things to say to Su Ruojin.
As for Xiao Yanchu, Lin Wanqing was certain that as long as he wanted to live, he would take the medicine, and then he would be hers.
No sooner had Lin Wanqing left than Hu Qing came in carrying a bowl of medicine.
He didn't feed the medicine to Xiao Yanchu, but placed it aside and softly called out, "Your Highness."
Xiao Yanchu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Hu Qing. His eyes were clear and there was no sign of weakness at all.
"how?"
Hu Qing nodded. "Everything is arranged."
Xiao Yanchu nodded and said nothing more.

Wei Xuebin and Fei Molong have returned to Wei Xuebin's tent.
Wei Xuebin smiled and raised his cup, "This subordinate toasts Your Highness. It seems Your Highness is about to make another great contribution."
With a sinister look in his eyes, Fei Molong casually clinked glasses with Wei Xuebin and downed his drink in one gulp.
"I have a feeling that something is wrong. Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin have always been cunning, so how come they fell for it so easily this time?"
Fei Molong had suffered too many losses at the hands of Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin, and he could hardly believe that the two of them had fallen so easily this time.
Wei Xuebin waved his hand dismissively, “Your Highness, you are overthinking it. The Queen has planned everything long ago. They are now in our Bei Li camp, surrounded by our people. No matter how powerful Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin are, they will never be able to leave our camp alive.”
Su Ruojin's sudden miscarriage was something that neither Wei Xuebin nor Fei Molong believed had nothing to do with Lin Wanqing.
They all knew about the past conflicts between Lin Wanqing and Su Ruojin.
"Su Ruojin's medical skills are superb, how could she have miscarried so easily?" Fei Molong was still worried.
“Pregnancy and childbirth are inherently life-threatening for women. No matter how skilled Su Ruojin is as a doctor, she is still a woman. There’s a saying that a doctor cannot heal himself. She was pregnant and still went through so much trouble. If she miscarried, she can’t blame anyone else. Come, Your Highness, have another drink.” Wei Xuebin poured Fei Molong another glass of wine.
A guard came in and said, "Your Highness, General, the Regent's Consort seems to be dying. The Queen has rushed over."
Wei Xuebin gave Fei Molong a knowing look, "Your Highness, don't worry, just wait for the news of Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin's deaths."
Lin Wanqing rushed to Su Ruojin's tent and heard Huanqing and Huanzhi crying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you must hold on..."
Lin Wanqing's expression brightened, and she lifted the curtain to enter the tent.
In just a moment, Lin Wanqing felt that something was wrong.
