"These medicines are prepared for myself and for you."

She also thought in her heart that no matter how confident she is, she will not hurt herself easily, but as a woman and in the enemy camp, she cannot have any backstop.

In addition to listening to blessings, the last way is to take poison.

So, she sewed the poison into the collar of every piece of clothing and refused to wear the clothes that Zhu Chengjin prepared for herself. Fortunately, in the eyes of others, this was her arrogance as a concubine of the dynasty and she refused to impress her easily. Zhu Chengjin had never forced her, so these poisons were equivalent to her carrying them with her.

However, when he moved into the rows of rooms behind Wuying Hall, he found that Xu Shizong lived next door to him. After Xiaoman boiled medicine at the door every day, Nan Yan found a better place for the poison he carried with him.

Thinking of this, she sneered and said, "I have to thank you, Master Xu, for this."

“…”

"Thank you for always believing that as a concubine, I am precious and will not use despicable means."

“…”

"You just miscalculated a little bit, it's not a husband. Even as a Confucian scholar, you will drug your own sister. If you can deal with you, you won't show mercy."

“…”

"What's more, I have never been an ordinary little girl. As long as I can beat you, I will use any means."

"you--"

Xu Shizong wanted to say something, but he was so breathless that he could not speak. He could only see his thin chest rising and falling sharply, his face as pale as a piece of paper. After a while, he gritted his teeth and suppressed it hard, but he could not suppress a stream of blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, he coughed suddenly and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

The blood immediately dyed his clothes red and even sprayed on Nanyan's body.

"You, you-"

He gasped, and fell softly on the bed with weakness, almost falling out of bed. Xiaoman, who was beside him, looked at him in panic and rushed forward to save him: "Young Master!"

Nan Yan was knocked back by Xiaoman.

But she was not angry, but instead smiled and took another step forward, approached Xu Shizong, and said slowly: "This won't work? There is a more cruel truth here in this palace. Can you hear it?"

Xu Shizong gritted his teeth, even his eyes were red.

He said breathlessly: "You, what else do you want to say?"

Nan Yan smiled and said secretly: "You also know that the girl, Dragonfly, whom I saved after entering Jinling City, had already been on Zhu Chengjin's bed nearby and was favored by him to serve her."

“…”

"Realistically speaking, even those around me may not believe the people around me, so how could they easily let the people around me approach him?"

“…”

"Actually, the answer is very simple. I believe Mr. Xu had long thought that Dragonfly must have betrayed something about this palace and gained Zhu Chengjin's trust, so that he could serve him and get his favor."

“…”

"Then what do you think the dragonfly betrayed me?"

“…!”

Xu Shizong was breathing heavily, but at the moment he heard this, his whole body felt like he had become petrified and completely frozen.

Nan Yan watched the veins on his neck trembling violently, and his breathing and heartbeat seemed to have stopped. After a long time of stiffness, he slowly raised his head and looked at Nan Yan.

Nan Yan looked at him with a smile: "Yeah, guessed it right."

“…”

"Young Master Xu is very smart and close to the demon. Even Jinling City was taken down under your plan. As long as I tell you that I have poison on my body, you can of course easily guess it."

“…”

"It's a pity that it's too late."

“…”

"Even Zhu Chengjin, he knew about it a few days ago, but he didn't reveal a word to you. Why?"

Xu Shizong didn't say anything.

The moment he heard Nan Yan say these words, the last bit of heat in his body seemed to have been taken away, leaving only a sick and thin skin that was still supported by Xiaoman, but his soul seemed to have fallen into hell and suffered from torture.

He looked at Nanyan tremblingly.

The smile on Nan Yan's face also disappeared bit by bit.

She looked at Xu Shizong and said word by word: "Young Master Xu, although we belong to different camps, I have to say that I still admire you."

“…”

"With your sick and weak body, you can even take down Jinling City."

“…”

"I have only seen two people as wise and close to monsters as you, who are so stunning and brilliant."

“…”

"One is Yan Ye who has been planning for many years and has caused constant domestic struggles."

“…”

"There is another one, you."

“…”

"But in comparison, Yan Ye is still stronger than you. First, it is because he is not only good at planning things, but also seeks a good life. Now that he has achieved success and travels with beauty, he may not even be replaced by a god."

“…”

"In contrast, when you reach this point today, you are only blamed for being able to do things but not seeking your own life."

“…”

"The second strongest, he is strong enough to see people."

“…”

"With his mind and ability, it is difficult for the rulers to tolerate him. However, the emperor is a broad-minded person. He has not only tolerated him, but also given him a place to live. How free and easy his life is now, I am afraid that it is hard for me to imagine as a concubine; and you—"

Speaking of this, she patrolled Xu Shizong up and down with extremely pity, and sneered: "The person you assisted knows that this palace has poisoned you, but he doesn't reveal a word to you. Can't you be sad?"

“…”

"Young Master Xu, your intelligence is too stupid."

“…”

At this moment, Xu Shizong was like an arrow piercing his heart, and he was already numb from pain.

His face was gray, and there was no light in his eyes. Only his dark pupils seemed to fall into eternal night, with a deep breath of death. After a long breath of breath, he turned to Nanyan barely. At this moment, he seemed to be unable to see anyone, and he only smiled at Nanyan based on his instinct.

"I, maybe I'm wrong."

“…”

"But at this point, I can no longer look back, nor can I look back."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and a large amount of blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth. Xiaoman was about to come up to wipe blood for him when he heard Xu Shizong use his last little strength to shout loudly: "Hurry up, give the treasure bag to Zhu Chengjin!"

Xiaoman also realized something now.

He pinched the three tips that Xu Shizong had just given him, took two steps back and looked at Nan Yan, and turned around and was about to run.
