Chapter 117 Big misunderstanding
The man could no longer bear the pain and finally spoke up.
It turned out that the man was merely sent by the emperor as a communication channel. The emperor would have his people pass on information to him, who would then pass it on to General Zhao. At the same time, he was also in contact with someone else, who was supposedly arranged by the crown prince, but whom he did not know.
Therefore, General Gu should be in that person's hands.
"So how did you connect with that person?"
“I can’t get in touch with him. He won’t come out in person. Whenever I need something, I leave the message in a fixed place and leave. He will come to pick it up. I know I shouldn’t pry into it out of curiosity, otherwise I’ll be doomed.”
But now that things had come to this, the man knew it was no use hiding it anymore, so he told the whole story.
After listening, everyone had a general understanding.
“In that case, write a letter and send it to that place now.” Jiang Qingyue made a decisive decision, determined not to miss this opportunity.
The arrest was sudden, and there was definitely no time to send a message. Since everyone here had already been taken into custody, the news wouldn't be easy to get out. Therefore, it was the perfect opportunity to make the arrest.
"Write...write what?" The man didn't know what message to convey.
Just write that you're being watched and that you shouldn't contact them for the time being.
Jiang Qingyue planned to deliberately stir up trouble and lure out the enemy's secret base.
"it is good."
The man had no choice but to immediately follow Jiang Qingyue's instructions.
Under Jiang Luofeng's secret surveillance, he placed the note in a hidden compartment in the base of a dilapidated temple.
Meanwhile, inside the tent, the soldier who tested the poison was recovering well. Upon inspection today, only a small amount of residual poison remained. It is believed that with some additional methods, the remaining poison can be completely eliminated.
This is arguably the best news we've heard so far.
General Zuo immediately ordered people to collect the powder again, preparing to mass-produce an antidote for the soldiers.
Jiang Qingyue held the other pill, still somewhat hesitant to give it to Qin Xuanyu.
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of!" Qin Xuanyu took the pills and couldn't help but rub Jiang Qingyue's head.
Jiang Qingyue originally wanted to lash out, but seeing Qin Xuanyu swallow it without hesitation, she immediately stared at Qin Xuanyu, wanting to see his reaction.
Thankfully, everything was normal, and Jiang Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're alright. The poison in your body has been there for too long and is too deep. One pill alone can't cure it completely. Once they bring back the powder, I'll make some more for you. In addition, you'll need acupuncture every day to help..."
Jiang Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I will tell the method to the army doctor, and he will administer acupuncture to you every day."
After all, to administer acupuncture, one must remove their outer clothing.
"You're fine with this; I don't trust anyone else."
“I…” If it were the original Jiang Qingyue, she wouldn’t be so hesitant and overthinking.
However, ever since Qin Xuanyu revealed his feelings, Jiang Qingyue has subconsciously avoided him when faced with similar situations, though she couldn't explain why.
"What, are you going to give up halfway? I remember you promised me that you would help me get rid of this poison." Qin Xuanyu looked at Jiang Qingyue's conflicted face with amusement, his eyes revealing a doting affection that he himself did not realize.
"No way, I... I mean what I say. I'll do it!" Anyway, I'm not the one who'll suffer, so what's there to be afraid of?
With that in mind, Jiang Qingyue stopped worrying and began to administer acupuncture to Qin Xuanyu, continuing for three days in a row.
As a result, even bigger rumors began to circulate in the military camp.
Every evening, Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue would stay in the same tent for an hour. When they came out, the King of Qin looked relaxed, but Jiang Qingyue looked exhausted, which made people wonder.
Because of Qin Xuanyu's status, they dared not discuss anything openly, but they all tacitly agreed that there must be a special relationship between Jiang Qingyue and the King of Qin.
Remembering General Gu's fiery temper, they always felt that once General Gu returned and found out, regardless of whether he was the Prince of Qin or not, he might take action directly.
Thinking of this, everyone stopped discussing the topic and kept their eyes down.
Jiang Qingyue also realized that the people's gazes had been a bit strange lately, and they might be suspicious of her relationship with the Prince of Qin. However, she couldn't say that the Prince of Qin had also been poisoned and that she had helped him detoxify, otherwise it would eventually reach the emperor's ears and be detrimental to them.
Therefore, Jiang Qingyue could only swallow her words, and her resentment towards Qin Xuanyu grew even stronger. She applied much more force when administering acupuncture afterwards, causing Qin Xuanyu to suffer, but Qin Xuanyu did not hold it against her.
But they knew that Jiang Luofeng did not.
That day, Jiang Luofeng noticed that someone had appeared and taken the note. He secretly followed him and eventually arrived at an abandoned mountain villa.
The situation inside was unclear. Jiang Luofeng was afraid of alerting the enemy, so after watching him enter the manor and observing for a while to make sure he didn't come out, he circled the manor again to observe the situation before heading back to prepare a report.
Therefore, upon returning to the camp, Jiang Luofeng, not seeing General Zuo, went straight to Qin Xuanyu's camp to report.
The soldiers in the distance had an unspoken agreement not to approach and disturb them, so they all stayed as far away as possible, and no one was so tactless as to bother them.
However, Jiang Luofeng's sudden appearance caught them off guard.
By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late to stop them. Jiang Luofeng immediately opened the tent flap and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report!"
The moment he opened the tent flap, two pairs of eyes turned to him.
Jiang Luofeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
At that moment, Qin Xuanyu had just finished administering acupuncture, and Jiang Qingyue was pulling on his coat, preparing to help him put it on.
"You...you all..." Jiang Luofeng turned around abruptly, closed the tent, and still felt like he was dreaming.
He must have seen it wrong, no, he must have seen it wrong.
At this moment, a soldier rushed up, "General, we didn't even have time to call you!"
Jiang Luofeng turned his head mechanically, "They..."
"Well, General, it's good that you know. Just pretend you didn't see it."
"How could I pretend I didn't see her? That's my sister!" The soldier's words seemed to hit Jiang Luofeng's sore spot.
He turned around and went back to the direction of the camp.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyue was also preparing to leave the camp and confront Jiang Luofeng again.
"You..." Before Jiang Qingyue could say anything, Jiang Luofeng grabbed her hand and left without a word, not even giving Qin Xuanyu a glance.
In a secluded place, Jiang Luofeng finally released Jiang Qingyue's hand and hesitated before speaking, "Qingyue, you...you and the Prince of Qin...you two..."
