His face was deathly pale.

I don't know if it's because I've been worrying too much at night, or if my health is deteriorating day by day.

Sang Che slightly beckoned her fingertip, and countless butterflies scattered around her, surging towards the mountains.

"Holy Maiden, your body is probably not suitable for controlling the Gu worms anymore. Why don't you put the love Gu aside for now and take good care of yourself?"

"The high priest will take charge of things in this village."

Sang Che had previously sent the high priest's servants back, so the high priest must have been on guard. However, it would take the Miao king quite some time to mobilize his troops.

Faced with Yiyun's advice, Sang Che shook his head and said softly, "I can't let go."

"Once you start feeding the love potion, if you stop halfway, all your efforts will be in vain, and you will lose more than you gain."

Knowing how important the love potion was to the Holy Maiden, Yiyun shut her mouth.

I won't say any more.

"The village is in a state of panic right now. Go back and keep an eye on Huaixi for me. She'll definitely notice if anything happens."

Sang Che, who knew exactly what Yin Huaixi was up to every day, was certain that Yin Huaixi was "faking illness" by biting him with a spider this time.

It was all to gather intelligence on the army that was surrounding the perimeter.

To Sang Che's surprise, even under her tight and unobstructed surveillance, Yin Huaixi still had the energy to cause trouble, so she decided to let her go.

She wanted to see what kind of trouble Yin Huaixi could stir up this time. Even if Yin Huaixi actually pulled out a dagger and held it to her neck, Sang Che wouldn't be angry.

Yiyun received the order.

As she left the house, she looked at Sang Che with lingering reluctance, and finally asked the question after much hesitation.

"Holy Maiden, I'll have Ah Cai come and serve you later. You're feeling weak right now, so please don't be too busy..."

Listen to her rambling on and on.

Sang Che had no choice but to agree.

Yi Yun just left.

...

For several days in a row, Yin Huaixi did not encounter Zhao Huining again during her convalescence.

Just as Yin Huaixi was about to risk going out to sound out Zhao Huining's opinion, as well as the current situation of the imperial guards sent by the court and the Miao people in this village,

The other party came to us on their own.

She brought medicine to Yin Huaixi. The delicate little bamboo basket was filled with medicinal herbs. Zhao Huining put the medicine basket down.

"I've made what you asked for."

A small bamboo tube was stuffed into Yin Huaixi's hand, and a strong medicinal smell wafted out. Yin Huaixi looked at Zhao Huining in surprise.

"This is a prescription I found by chance in an ancient book. It is said that when people take it, they feel cold all over their body and their eyebrows grow ice crystals."

"After I made it, I tested it on some snakes, insects, rodents and ants, and it worked quite well."

"But I'm not entirely confident that I can drug a saintess who is immune to all poisons."

Having clearly explained the pros and cons of the matter, Zhao Huining did not linger, mainly because he was afraid that Jiawan would become suspicious.

Just before reaching the door.

Zhao Huining glanced at Yin Huaixi again, her tone leisurely yet authoritative.

"Miss Yin, only you can get close to the Holy Maiden of Miao territory, and only you can accomplish this task, so I entrust it to you."

"I hope you won't disappoint me, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."

Knowing that Zhao Huining wasn't threatening her, but that it was a real possibility, Yin Huaixi nodded and gripped the bamboo tube tightly.

...

At night, a light rain began to fall outside the window.

Yin Huaixi listened to the rain pattering against the bamboo forest, unable to fall asleep, her eyes wide open. She kept fiddling with the medicine Zhao Huining had given her.

I have many thoughts.

Give this medicine.

Will Sang Che die?

With her frail body and chronic cold ailment, she needs to hide in Fengming Mountain to recuperate. If she takes a strong medicine, her days may not be numbered.

Frustrated, I turned over in bed.

Another thought popped into her mind. When Yin Huaixi thought of Sang Che's ghostly methods, she felt that even the most extraordinary poison in the world could be fed into her mouth.

Within a few hours, she was able to untie it herself.

It goes without saying.

Moreover, Zhao Huining did not study medicine from a young age, so if the ancient book she mentioned is real, the efficacy of the medicine would probably be greatly reduced.

The worries that had been vaguely swirling in Yin Huaixi's mind were suppressed and swallowed. She closed her eyes, pulled the blanket up over her chest, and was about to fall asleep.

A crisp "creak" came from outside the door.

The familiar sound of silver bells echoed in his ears once again, and Sang Che barged in unnoticed.

Startled, Yin Huaixi's mind went blank for a second.

After passing the message to Zhao Huining, she learned about the subsequent plot and understood that Zhao Huining would escape from the village. For the next few nights, she no longer felt anxious and slept soundly.

She never paid attention to whether anyone opened the house in the middle of the night, or whether anyone sneaked up to her bedside.

The house is heavily guarded by Miao soldiers, making it difficult for even a fly to get in. The only thing that could get in was the familiar smell.

The answer is obvious.

"Huaixi, are you asleep?"

Sang Che was so busy that she finally had time to come and see Yin Huaixi. She also thought that Yin Huaixi should have calmed down by now.

When asked this question, Yin Huaixi closed her eyes even tighter, showing no intention of answering.

She wished that Sang Che would secretly look at her and then sneak away without leaving a trace.

No reply was received.

Sang Che stood up and began to take off her outer garment. Yin Huaixi listened to her movements and couldn't help but squint one eye and stare at Sang Che.

In the pitch-black night, only a rough outline could be seen, but without much thought, Sang Che's handsome face could jump up and down in Yin Huaixi's heart.

The tinkling sound of the silver bells gradually ceased.

Immediately, the blanket covering him was lifted a crack, and Sang Che lay down without saying a word.

She reached out and put her arm around Yin Huaixi's shoulder, burying her face in his chest. The hot breath made Yin Huaixi shudder and speechless.

Sensing a tremor in Yin Huaixi's body, Sang Che smiled.

Just as she had expected, Yin Huaixi had not fallen asleep and was still awake.

However, he simply didn't want to talk to her.

"Next time you throw a tantrum at me, don't take your health for granted. Tell me and I'll let you out."

Sang Che spoke in a soft voice, and he was extremely serious, not like someone casually trying to deceive Yin Huaixi.

Yin Huaixi finally couldn't help but ask, "Why...why should I believe you?"

"Sang Che, don't you know... you have no credibility with me?"

Rarely hearing Yin Huaixi answer her, Sang Che simply rested her cheek on Yin Huaixi's shoulder, acting like a little bird clinging to its nest.

"Huaixi, you don't have much credibility with me."

"But I still dare to let you out."

"Isn't that right?"

This condescending attitude, which completely controlled the market, made Yin Huaixi very unhappy. She gritted her teeth, but she didn't even have time to push Sang Che away.

Yin Huaixi recalled the words Zhao Huining had said to her before leaving.

"Miss Yin, only you can get close to the Holy Maiden of Miao territory."

Yes.

After eagerly awaiting Sang Che's arrival, the next step is to feed him the pills.

This caused her to suffer a relapse of her cold poison, throwing the Fengming Mountain village into chaos, allowing her and Zhao Huining to take the opportunity to escape.

The fingers that were originally pushing her away suddenly turned into pulling open Sang Che's collar, knowing full well that her poor acting skills could not fool Sang Che.

Saying more might expose my secret in a minute, so it's better to be practical.

This left Sang Che completely disoriented, unable to tell which way was up.

Yin Huaixi made up his mind to just go for it.

He forcefully kissed Sang Che, leaving Sang Che unable to react.

While she was asleep, he pushed Sang Che aside, chewed the pill up, and fed it to her mouth-to-mouth.

At that time, Sang Che was afflicted with the cold poison, and the imperial guards rushed to surround and annihilate him.

Sang Che would no longer be able to use the Gu worms to keep her here.
