Xi Zi Ke’er’s subordinates, upon hearing Bai Longqian’s words, became increasingly tense.
Their hands gripping their swords tightened, and two of their men couldn’t help but take a couple of steps towards Bai Longqian, pointing their swords at him menacingly. “Hand over the antidote!” they snarled.
Seeing the officers under Xizi Ke’er’s command become increasingly agitated, Bai Longqian laughed loudly, tilting his head back.
He didn’t even look at them.
After he laughed enough, he quickly withdrew the smile from his lips, his sharp eyes fixed on Xizi Ke’er, “Well? Your Highness has considered it clearly? Do you want to continue this pain, or are you ready to cooperate with our Bai Guang Palace?”
Xizi Ke’er was in excruciating pain at this moment, her whole body aching so badly that she couldn’t stop trembling.
Although she had put a great deal of effort into suppressing it so as not to embarrass the people at Baiguang Palace, her body was still aching to the point where she couldn’t even shiver.
The pain in her body came suddenly, and for some inexplicable reason, she felt a chill all over and broke out in a cold sweat.
After Bai Longqian had once again voiced his question, Han Yun also raised their gaze towards Xizi Ke’er, wanting to know how she would choose.
Xizi Ke’er endured the pain, her slightly red eyes lifted, staring straight at Bailong Qian.
The hatred in her eyes was unconcealed. After a moment of silence, she spoke, “If I agree, when will you give me the antidote?”
Bailong Qian seemed to have expected her to ask this, not surprised at all, and explained calmly, “The poison in Your Highness’s body, if you want to completely dissolve it, you must take the antidote three times.”
“If Your Highness agrees now, this old man can immediately give Your Highness the first dose of the antidote.”
After taking it, Your Highness will not suffer from the poison within three hours and will no longer be tormented by your body.
Xizi Ke’er: “!”
They were indeed well-prepared.
She pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Han Yun who was not far away before making a decision.
Han Yun was also staring at her, his face grim.
That look, as if saying: by all means don’t agree.
As soon as she finished speaking, the two lieutenants standing in front of her immediately rushed to Bai Longqian’s side.
He reached out to him directly, his tone extremely hostile, “Don’t you bring out the antidote yet.”
Faced with this attitude from these people, Bai Longqian was not angry. He leisurely took out a porcelain bottle from his waist and threw it directly to the deputy general of Xizi Ke’er.
After getting the antidote, the deputy immediately turned around and went back to Xizi Ke’er’s side. He poured out the pills from the porcelain bottle and quickly handed them to Xizi Ke’er, “Your Highness, take it quickly.”
After taking the antidote, its effects hadn’t kicked in yet. Xizi Ke’er was currently sitting on a chair, resting herself.
Physical pain made her sweat despite the cold.
After about a quarter of an hour, seeing that Xizi Ke’er was still not recovering, the deputy generals around her looked at each other in dismay, pacing anxiously.
Then, a surly lieutenant glared at Bai Longqian and roared, “What is going on here? Why hasn’t our prince recovered yet? Are you just playing us for fools?”
Bái Lóngqiān smiled. “Don’t worry, look…isn’t it much better now?”
“……”
It’s strange, just now Xizi Ke’er was in so much pain that she couldn’t bear it.
But after Bailongqian spoke, the pain in her body inexplicably began to gradually disappear, and even her breathing became steady.
The lieutenants kept their eyes fixed on her, and only when they were sure she had stopped sweating did they let out a slight sigh of relief.
By the time Xizi Ke’er had fully recovered, she took the handkerchief from her adjutant standing beside her and wiped the sweat off her brow leisurely.
“Nor need Your Highness do much, just have Your Highness write a letter to the Princess Consort of Beijiang, telling them that Han Yun is in Your Highness’s hands, and ask them to come to Your Highness’s territory first.”
Xi Zi Ke’er narrowed her eyes, “What do you mean by that? Do you want this palace and Xi Zi Pan’er to fight directly?”
“By then, the Bai Guang Palace will only target the Northern Border Princess and her people, right?”
“You want to use this palace to divert Xi Zi and Pan’er’s troops, so that your Bai Guang Palace people can only deal with the Northern Border Princess and others, right?”
Bai Longqian didn’t refute Xizi Ke’er’s words, he just smiled faintly.
His default made Xizi Ke’er’s face darken.
At present, she has no way to solve it.
After a moment of silence, she turned her head to look at Han Yun again. Their eyes met, and she quickly looked away.
At times like this, I don’t know how to face him.
After another long silence, Xizi Ke’er gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, this palace will write the letter. But you also want to interfere with what is written in it?”
“That’s not interfering, old man here will personally help Your Highness choose.”
Xizi Ke’er: “!”
Muttered a curse under his breath, that old fox.
Obviously, he had the final say on how this letter was written.
Xizi Ke’er’s subordinates were also extremely dissatisfied. Having served their lord for many years, no one had ever dared to be so arrogant and rude to him before.
I’m extremely unhappy and frustrated, but I can’t do anything about it.
Because their lord’s life and death are now in the enemy’s hands.
Bai Longqian wasn’t a patient man. Seeing that Xizi Ke’er had agreed to him, he directly asked Xizi Ke’er’s people to prepare ink and brushes.
When Xizi Ke’er sat down, he stood by and read it out word by word.
He recited, Xizi Ke’er wrote.
In a few moments, a letter was written.
The people of Bai Guang Palace knew where Mo Yun Jing and the others were at this moment, so they entrusted the matter of sending the letter to them.
After sending the message, Bai Longqian was not prepared to leave. Instead, he looked at Xizi Ke’er and continued, “Next, I would trouble Your Highness to help us prepare some lodging.”
Xizi Ke’er knew they wouldn’t leave easily.
His fists clenched beneath his sleeves, but he could only agree.
As Bai Longqian and the others were about to leave, she suddenly spoke up, “Wait a moment.”
Bai Longqian narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to look at her, “What else is there you want to ask, Your Highness?”
Xizi Ke’er pointed at Hanyun, “He, is to be handed over to this palace.”
“…” Obviously, Bai Longqian didn’t expect her to say that. He raised an eyebrow at Han Yun at this moment.
Seeing Han Yun in such a state of weakness, he immediately guessed what Xizi Ke’er wanted to do. He couldn’t help but chuckle a few times, “How so? This old man didn’t realize that Your Highness was such a compassionate person, wanting to cure him?”
“Speaking of which, a sneer curled up the corner of his mouth. “This old man would like to advise Your Highness, don’t worry about this matter. After all, Han Yun’s life… This old man simply must have it.”
Even if he is treated for the moment, what good will it do? He will inevitably die in the end. Why waste the military doctor’s efforts?
