"Yes," Xie Ruotong obeyed.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and picked up the dagger stained with Feng Xiyun’s blood, bringing it close to Feng Xiyun’s face.

Feng Xiyun’s pupils enlarged in terror, screaming again and again.

She just watched helplessly as Xie Ruotong drew the dagger across her face.

"Ah..."

Feng Xiyun screamed miserably.

She truly felt the sharp dagger dancing on her face.

Pain and a face full of blood made her features twisted and grim.

The entire tent was filled with Feng Xiyun’s heart-wrenching cries, so fierce that everyone trembled uncontrollably.

"Kill me, Empress, if you dare!" Feng Xiyun screamed madly at An Ning as pain reached its peak, and her body seemed to be at its limit.

She had underestimated An Ning.

She always thought An Ning couldn’t go this far.

Whether in the Imperial Palace, Changmen County, or the military camp.

Never had An Ning been so brutal.

She never imagined An Ning could go to such lengths.

At this moment, the pain all over her body and her disfigured appearance made her wish for death.

She truly felt that living was a hundred times more painful than dying right now.

An Ning listened to Feng Xiyun’s screams.

Already nonchalantly, she had reached the table and begun to examine Feng Xiyun’s medicine, bit by bit.

"Kill her." An Ning’s tone was calm and indifferent as she spoke.

After being in this book for so long.

Upholding principles of humanitarianism and the sanctity of life, she had never killed anyone.

Feng Xiyun was the first.

For the first time, she even felt grateful that in a place like ancient times, killing was not illegal!

Feng Xiyun indeed deserved to die! Her crimes were unforgivable!

Feng Xiyun froze as she heard An Ning’s casual three words.

There was a world of difference between living in agony and truly facing death.

Once An Ning spoke.

Xie Ruotong would immediately kill her without hesitation.

Yet in truth, she really did not want to die.

In death, everything she had would be gone.

She hadn’t yet exacted revenge on the Emperor and An Ning!

She hadn’t seen their tragedy with her own eyes, she didn’t want to die.

Feng Xiyun, with blood-filled eyes, watched Xie Ruotong aim the dagger at her heart.

Just one stab.

"Empress, if you kill me, you will never get the antidote!" Feng Xiyun suddenly screamed, collapsing emotionally.

An Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.

She lifted her gaze and gave Xie Ruotong a look.

Xie Ruotong understood and put down the dagger.

Her emotions stirred slightly.

To Xie Ruotong, following An Ning’s orders unconditionally came without hesitation.

However, to kill Feng Xiyun without reason, for An Ning, this would mean the Empress was recklessly killing the innocent, which would damage her reputation.

Though An Ning’s noble status meant no one dared act against her, as Empress, her reputation was naturally more important, and must remain untainted.

Now Feng Xiyun finally admitted that she poisoned the Cang Kingdom’s Crown Prince.

Even if An Ning were to tear Feng Xiyun limb from limb now, it wouldn’t give anyone an excuse to talk.

"Admitted?" An Ning’s composed tone as she looked at Feng Xiyun, "Admit you poisoned Gao Ziyue?"

Feng Xiyun understood clearly.

If she didn’t confess now, An Ning would kill her.

Even if An Ning faced criticism for it, she knew An Ning didn’t care for reputation.

She would surely die.

If she confessed.

The Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom was still unconscious, and An Ning hadn’t found the antidote; she would surely keep her alive.

Now she couldn’t think further.

The only thing she wanted was not to die.

Not to die in vain by An Ning’s hand!

"Yes, I poisoned him!" Feng Xiyun shouted angrily.

The sudden confession.

Startled everyone in the tent.

No one expected that Feng Xiyun poisoned the Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom.

Even Yuan Wenkang hadn’t guessed it was related to Feng Xiyun.

Although the Emperor instructed him to keep an eye on Feng Xiyun and prevent any mischief!

He didn’t believe Feng Xiyun, just a minor imperial physician, had such audacity.

The life and death of Cang Kingdom’s Crown Prince, related to two nations.

Was Feng Xiyun really fearless?!

"Are you insane?!" At last, An Ning burst out in anger.

If it weren’t for Feng Xiyun.

Today, at this moment, she would have already successfully returned to Daxuan Camp and reunited with Xiao Jinxing, and the battle between Cang Kingdom and Daxuan would have come to an end!
