So unfortunately, the ten cities of Qian Kingdom will never be separated."

The four-nation talks ended due to the failure of ceding territory. Except for Murray, the representatives of the other three countries all looked unhappy.

Ding Tu, in particular, originally planned to take advantage of Jiang Chenchu's ascension to the throne to gain more benefits as compensation for the failure of the assassination attempt on Si Ruochen, and to use this to seek credit from Queen Lian in exchange for the antidote.

However, this attempt was thwarted by Jiang Xue again.

When he left Xuchen Palace, his face was filled with anger, making people around him afraid to approach him.

At this moment, Fang Rong walked out of the hall. The servant hurried forward and whispered a few words to him, making Fang Rong's face even gloomier.

"Useless!" he shouted, "You can't even keep an eye on the person, why don't you go and find him? If you can't find him, don't come back."

Jiang Xue in the hall heard the noise outside and asked Xiao Zhan in confusion what happened.

Xiao Zhan explained that one of Fang Rong's men might have escaped, and this person was very important.

A familiar female figure suddenly flashed through Jiang Xue's mind, but she couldn't remember who she was.

Noticing her brother Jiang Chen's expression, Jiang Xue left Xiao Zhan's arms, walked to her brother, and said gently: "Royal brother is right, we should pay attention to the occasion."

Seeing his sister being so well-behaved, Jiang Chen relaxed a little and told her to go to bed early.

After leaving the palace, the two decided to walk to Mo Tian's residence instead of taking a carriage.

She had not been back to Qian Country for a long time and her heart was filled with longing for her hometown.

Holding Xiao Zhan's hand, the two of them shuttled through the bustling market, releasing lanterns, catching small goldfish, and selecting accessories...

It was as if she had returned to her childhood, when her father and mother brought her to the market for fun. She didn't want to stop for even a moment, as if she wanted to release all her memories at once.

Seeing her so happy, Xiao Zhan was willing to go along with her. He just wanted her to be happy, and he would be satisfied.

Looking at the windmill she had just bought spinning non-stop in her hand and her bright smile like a carefree child, even his mood was infected by this innocence and became warm.

"careful!"

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from behind Jiang Xue. Xiao Zhan reacted quickly and pulled her into his arms to protect her. At the same time, he firmly grabbed the person who rushed over with his other hand and looked at him carefully.

"stop!"

Not far away, several men in similar attire came running over quickly, pointing directly at the stranger held by Xiao Zhan.

The person hurriedly grabbed Xiao Zhan's wrist and made a hoarse sound. Her eagerness and anxiety could be felt through the veil.

"Yun Che, let her go."

Jiang Xue observed the approaching men and the mysterious woman in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she signaled Xiao Zhan to let go.

"Leave her to us!"

The men came closer and demanded in a tough manner.

It turns out that this woman is the target of their mission to bring back to Master Fang, and they must not let her get lost.

"What if the king doesn't agree?"

Xiao Zhan looked back at the woman, then caught Jiang Xue's gaze and responded coldly.

"Then we have no choice but to take action. Brothers, go ahead!"

At the command from the leading man, the two men behind him immediately took action.

Although these people had some martial arts skills, they seemed vulnerable in front of Xiao Zhan and were subdued in a few moves.

"let's go."

In a moment, two unconscious people were lying on the ground.

Xiao Zhan didn't even look at her, he turned to Jiang Xue and suggested leaving.

Jiang Xue nodded gently and extended her hand to the person beside her: "Yunyan, don't be afraid, everything is over."

A light breeze blew by, blowing off the hood on her head, revealing a familiar face.

However, this face was thinner than before, paler, with prominent cheekbones, and it was obvious that it had experienced a lot of suffering.

Her attire also changed. She was no longer wearing tight warrior clothes, but a soft long skirt, and her hands were tightly protecting her abdomen.

As a doctor, Jiang Xue could tell at a glance that she was pregnant.

After bringing Yunyan back to Mo Tian's residence, Jiang Xue immediately took her pulse.

"How is it?" Xiao Zhan asked hurriedly when he saw Jiang Xue coming out.

"The situation is not good." Jiang Xue frowned, "She was poisoned. The cold poison invaded her body and made her voice hoarse. Her internal energy was sealed, and she is already two months pregnant. In her current condition, it may be difficult to save the baby."

Looking back, the last time I saw Yunyan was in Beixi, and the time just happened to match.

So, this child was born when she was still in Beixi.

"What on earth is Chu Jingming doing?" Xiao Zhan was puzzled.

Isn't Yunyan Chu Jingming's favorite person? How could he let a pregnant woman suffer like this?

"How about sending someone to ask Prince Ming what's going on?"

When in Beixi, Chu Jingming took special care of Yunyan. Jiang Xue knew then that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Chu Jingming would never let Yunyan suffer easily. There must be some hidden story behind this.

Suddenly, a "bang" broke the silence.

There was a sound of things breaking inside the house.

When I walked into the room, I saw Yunyan supporting the table with one hand and covering her stomach with the other hand, and debris was scattered on the ground.

"Someone come and clean it up!" Jiang Xue hurried forward to help Yunyan sit down, worried that the broken porcelain would hurt her feet, and asked someone to clean up the scene quickly.

"What do you want to say?" Feeling Yunyan holding her arm tightly, Jiang Xue lowered her head and looked into her eyes, as if she saw the wish she wanted to express.

Jiang Xue handed her a pen: "You can't speak now, just write down whatever you want to say."

Yunyan took the pen and wrote a few words on the paper in neat handwriting.

Don't look for him.

Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan both knew who this "he" was referring to.

"Why?" Jiang Xue asked.

Obviously, there are many secrets hidden here that they don't know yet.

I don't want to see him.

She wrote again, her thick eyelashes drooped, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

Then she paused for a moment and added two more words: Please.

From childhood to adulthood, Yunyan seldom asked others for help, but this time she used the word "beg", which shows how much she didn't want to see Chu Jingming.

Jiang Xue looked at her deeply, exchanged glances with Xiao Zhan and said, "Okay, if you don't want to see him now, I won't force you."

thank you.

Yunyan wrote on the paper.

"But you have to tell me what happened. How did you lose your internal strength? Where did this cold poison come from? And..." When mentioning the child, Jiang Xue noticed that Yunyan's hands trembled slightly.

It seems that the memories of the child are not good.

"If you don't want to talk about the child, I won't ask. But you must tell me the other two things, otherwise I can't help you detoxify, nor can I restore your meridians." Jiang Xue sighed.

"it is good."

Yunyan nodded gratefully.

"Iron clothes."

At this time, Xiao Zhan left the room. Some topics were not suitable for him to be present, so it would be better to let Jiang Xue handle them alone.

He needed to figure some things out.

"Your Highness." Tieyi came in response.

"Send someone to Xiyong to find out about Chu Jingming."
