"Are you angry with me?" Sui Nan stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch her cheek. Wen Ning wanted to dodge for a moment, but immediately reacted and did not move. She looked at him stretching out his hand, with a hint of warning in her eyes.

Sui Nan's hand floated in the air, and indeed he did not move forward any further.

"What you said yesterday was truly from the bottom of your heart. It was my fault that I doubted you." Sui Nan slowed down his voice, as if he was coaxing her.

Wen Ning slowly raised her eyes and looked at him carefully, as if measuring his sincerity.

After a long silence, Sui Nan did not speak again, as if his patience with her limited to this.

Wen Ning slowly closed her fingers and said, "Then? You compensate me."

Suinan raised an eyebrow, "How do you compensate me?"

"When you ascend the throne and become emperor." Wen Ning looked at him, "I want to be the queen."

Sui Nan was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter. Wen Ning's words hit the mark for him. He immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, it's a deal."

Suinan finally did not kill the people of Shuncheng again, which made Wen Ning breathe a sigh of relief. The day passed peacefully. Suinan stayed by Bigler's side to "take care" of him. Under Suinan's "care", all the medicines that Bigler drank were controlled and did not help relieve his injuries at all. Instead, they made his wounds worse.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day.

When Wen Ning woke up one day, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Wen Ning saw that the blood was dark red and black. Everything in front of his eyes was dark and he felt dizzy and could hardly see anything. His wrists were burning with pain.

She struggled to get up, called the guard, and said she wanted to see a doctor.

At noon, the doctor finally came. When he saw Wen Ning's complexion, his eyes changed.

When no one was around, he said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, is it time to take your medicine?"

Wen Ning shook her head. "Sui Nan can't be easily trapped. It's easy to be exposed."

The doctor wanted to continue to persuade him, but Wen Ning said weakly, "It's almost seven days? When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"Your Highness, if you don't call me, I will come today too." The doctor whispered, "The reinforcements will arrive tomorrow and go directly to the pass. The prince has made preparations and will attack Shuncheng early tomorrow morning."

"Okay..." Wen Ning finally put her mind at ease, "Before the prince attacks the city tomorrow, you send people to put poison in the food of the Shuncheng Tatar army."

"But... when the Tatars attacked Shuncheng, they had already confiscated all the poisons. Although I can mix it according to the medicinal properties of the herbs, it is still very slow to take effect and has a distinct smell, which may easily arouse suspicion." The doctor hesitated.

Wen Ning took out a handkerchief from her bosom without panic and untied the colorful string on her wrist through her hands.

The doctor looked at the burn marks on her wrist and his eyes widened suddenly. "You..."

"This is highly poisonous." Wen Ning wrapped the rope and handed it to him, "Cut it into small pieces and throw them into the big pot of their food. Although the dosage is not enough to kill them immediately, they will not be able to resist the Northern Ming army."
