With Lin Xingchen’s help, the soldier was quickly captured.

But just as he was captured, Jiang Peihuan saw blood seeping from him, and he soon fell to the ground.

Rushing forward, Jiang Peihuan found that he had taken a potent poison, which was hidden in his teeth.

“Who is this?” Jiang Peihuan said.

Her eyes filled with frustration as she looked at the man on the ground.

Lin Xingchen did not expect this person to commit suicide. He frowned and said in a low voice, “I’ll investigate it now.”

He was about to leave when he heard a voice from Xiao Nanye behind him, “There’s no need to investigate.”

Seeing the puzzled looks on Jiang Peihuan and Lin Xingchen’s faces, Xiao

Nanye calmly announced, “He is a secret guard from the palace.”

With this simple sentence, Jiang Peihuan immediately understood who was behind this.

“Drink the fish soup first,” she suggested after a pause, turning her attention to the man on the bed.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xingchen dragged the corpse out of the room.

After he left, Jiang Peihuan began to feed Xiao Nanye the soup. With her previous experience, she was very skilled this time.

However, looking at the fish soup in his hands, Xiao Nanye was very surprised. “Where did you get the fish?”

“Caught it in the reservoir behind the camp,” she replied.

“Was that man sent by the Great Empress Dowager?”

Once Xiao Nanye had finished his soup, Jiang Peihuan looked at him and softly asked this question.

Xiao Nanye didn’t answer, but he nodded.

“Why?”

This was not the first time, Jiang Peihuan could not help but look at the man and ask.

Although Xiao Nanye was not the Great Empress Dowager’s biological son, Xiao Nanye was very loyal to Emperor Qi Ming. Therefore, Jiang Peihuan could not understand why the Great Empress Dowager would repeatedly send people to assassinate Xiao Nanye, especially since he posed no threat to her.

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, a shadow passed across Xiao Nanye’s eyes, but he still softly replied, “Huan Er, I can’t tell you about this matter yet.”

“So you do know why the Great Empress Dowager wants to assassinate you,” she deduced.

“Yes,” he acknowledged, meeting her eyes and nodding.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Peihuan’s expression changed, and after a long while, she softly asked, “Does the Emperor know about this?”

“The Great Empress Dowager is always clean and decisive in her actions,” he explained. “Furthermore, she is the Emperor’s biological mother.”

Even if Emperor Qi Ming really knew that the Great Empress Dowager was behind the attempts on Xiao Nanye’s life, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan fell silent.

She didn’t want to continue this topic and instead turned to the man on the bed and said, “For the next few days, 1 will stay in your tent to take care of you.” “Then I’ll order someone to prepare another bed.”

“Mm.”

An hour later, Han Feng ordered someone to carry a soft mattress into Xiao Nanye’s tent.

Jiang Changbai’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction when he saw the mattress. However, considering that Xiao Nanye had just survived an assassination attempt not long ago, if he really drank the medicine, he would definitely die.

At the thought of this, Jiang Changbai did not say anything in the end.

Time swiftly passed, and soon it was the third day.

“Huan Er, are you sure it will rain today?”

Although Jiang Changbai had always trusted his sister, and knew that Jiang Peihuan was never a person to make baseless claims, he still revealed a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked up at the bright sun.

Hearing Jiang Changbai’s words, Jiang Peihuan looked up at the sky.

She squinted her eyes and then smiled, saying, “Elder brother, don’t worry. It will start raining in less than an hour at most.”

Aside from Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye who remained composed, the others looked up at the sky from time to time.

For the past three days, the people from King Chujiang’s mansion had been making clamors outside the military camp, but no matter how much they yelled, there was no response from Xiao Nanye’s side.

As time passed, the words from those people became increasingly unbearable, and the soldiers on Xiao Nanye’s side were feeling quite suppressed.

An hour passed quickly. This time, not only Jiang Changbai but also Lin Xingchen were getting impatient.

The two walked towards Xiao Nanye’s tent. As they were lifting the curtain, they heard a clap of thunder.

Soon after, big raindrops started falling. The sky that was clear just moments ago was instantly covered with dense clouds.

The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

Inside the tent, Jiang Peihuan watched as Han Feng was helping Xiao Nanye put on his armor and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Seeing Jiang Changbai and Lin Xingchen enter together, Jiang Peihuan turned her head towards them.

“Huan Er, you really are magical. It actually started raining,” Jiang Changbai exclaimed.

“The rain will get heavier tonight,” Jiang Peihuan replied.

“Elder brother, victory or defeat will be determined tonight. If we succeed tonight, we can return to the capital soon,” she continued.

“I understand,” Jiang Changbai said.

“Your Highness, how are your injuries?” At this moment, Jiang Changbai noticed that Xiao Nanye had changed into his military attire and, considering Xiao Nanye’s injuries, worry appeared in his eyes.

But Xiao Nanye casually said, “It’s no big deal. Tonight, all of you are going to act, and I, as the commanding general, naturally have to show up. If 1 keep hiding, it will arouse the suspicions of King Chujiang.”

“Elder brother, please arrange for dinner to be prepared. We have a tough battle tonight,” Jiang Peihuan said.

“I will arrange it right away,” Jiang Changbai replied.

As Jiang Changbai instructed the cooks to prepare a full meal, he also passed down the military orders. When the people learned that they were going to fight tonight, their eyes were filled with excitement.

When the sky was completely dark, Xiao Nanye, accompanied by Han Feng, left the camp with Jiang Peihuan following beside him.

Dressed in military attire, Jiang Peihuan appeared slender, but in the rain, she carried an inexplicably cold aura.

“I will go first,” Jiang Changbai said, leading the soldiers and stopping in front of King Chujiang’s camp, as he looked towards Xiao Nanye.

The man nodded and then turned to Han Feng and ordered, “Beat the drums.”

The sound of drums in the rain was exceptionally sharp.

Inside King Chujiang’s tent.

“Your Highness, Xiao Nanye is leading his troops to attack,” a soldier reported. Having been refused battle for three consecutive days, King Chujiang was very complacent. He had even decided to directly attack Xiao Nanye’s camp at dawn. But hearing the soldier’s words, King Chujiang’s eyes were filled with panic and surprise.

He only reacted when he heard the sound of drums.

“Bring me my armor,” he ordered.

Quickly, King Chujiang changed into his armor. When he emerged from his tent, Jiang Changbai had already led his soldiers into the camp.

Seeing Jiang Changbai on horseback, King Chujiang’s eyes were full of fury.

“Jiang Changbai, today, I will ensure that your arrival here becomes a journey with no return.”

Considering that King Chujiang had recovered significantly from his injuries, he immediately charged forward as soon as he saw Jiang Changbai.

Jiang Changbai didn’t say much and immediately went all out to fight.

Not far away, Jiang Peihuan sat on Lie Feng’s back, closely watching the situation on Jiang Changbai’s side.

This wasn’t the first time Jiang Peihuan had seen her brother in combat. She had always known that her brother was a martial arts expert, but at this moment, her eyes still revealed a touch of pride..
