Seeing that Ah Tian was slow to respond, Xu Lian could no longer sit still: "What do you think? Say something!"

Ah Tian was just thinking that based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it would be beneficial to cooperate with Xu Lian, but Xu Lian is really stupid and might cause unnecessary trouble.

She had risked her life to frame Song Wanning but failed each time, and Song Wanning had saved the day every time. She needed to be more careful in the future, otherwise Song Wanning would find evidence of her and retaliate, and then everything she had done would be in vain.

"Did Miss Xu misunderstand something? I have no ill will towards Miss Song. What happened that day was just a misunderstanding."

Xu Lian was a straightforward person. She had always looked down on Ah Tian from the bottom of her heart. She was born in a common family, was very scheming, and looked very righteous, just like those people her father dealt with in officialdom.

But she hated Song Wanning to the core, and this time she had to find an opportunity to kill her.

“Stop pretending in front of me. You like Yun Che, too. Don’t think I don’t know. Since Yun Che has admitted that Song Wanning is his fiancée, he must have her. If we don’t get rid of Song Wanning, neither you nor I will have a chance.”

After hearing this, A Tian looked gloomy.

"If you want to cooperate, I can, but you have to show me what you have first. I don't want to cooperate with someone who holds me back."

Xu Lian did not hide anything and took out a small red porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

"This is the poison my father gave me before I came to the military camp. He said that only a fingernail's worth of it could kill an adult tiger. I was supposed to use it for self-defense, but now it seems like it can be used for other things."

Ah Tian sneered, "Song Wanning is a doctor, she has superb medical skills, she would test the food I sent her with silver needles, if you give her this poison, it will be exposed before it reaches her."

She had just been hypocritically calling her Miss Song, but now after having a showdown with Xu Lian, she called Song Wanning by her name.

Xu Lian knew this too, of course: "Who said I was sent to her? It's unrealistic to send it to Song Wanning. You framed her as a spy for the barbarians before, didn't you just want to destroy her reputation and drive her out of the barracks?"

Ah Tian nodded: "So what? My plan has failed. I didn't expect Yun Che to protect her so much. I didn't expect those soldiers to be so spineless and worship Song Wanning as a god. Is it necessary?"

She didn't have the same fame as Song Wanning, so she was jealous of everything Song Wanning had.

“Give this poison to other people, and Song Wanning will naturally go to save them. My father said that there is no antidote for this poison so far, and anyone who takes it will die. If Song Wanning can’t get rid of the poison, the soldiers’ trust in her will naturally collapse. We can find a few more charges to frame her and drive her out of the barracks. When she leaves Yun Che’s protection, it will be easy to kill her, right?”

I have to say that Xu Lian’s idea is still very feasible.

"If this poison is only given to ordinary people, even if Song Wanning cannot be saved, others will think that she has tried her best and it will not have any impact on her."

As Ah Tian spoke, she stood up and thought carefully about what Xu Lian had just said.

"I've already given you the poison and told you the general plan. It's up to you to implement it. We are a partnership, and I can't be the only one doing the work. So I might as well do it myself."

Xu Lian poured himself a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, and wanted to see what Ah Tian would do.

Ah Tian thought she was judging her and felt humiliated. After all, she also looked down on Xu Lian.

"It's easy. Just find someone of high status to poison him. It would be best if he is close to me. Gu Yong has a high reputation in the army and is Yun Che's right-hand man. If he is poisoned and Song Wanning can't cure him, then not only will the other soldiers be disappointed in her, but even Yun Che will dislike her and stay away from her."

After hearing what Ah Tian said, Xu Lian also felt that it made sense and his eyes lit up.

"Well, then, I'll give the poison to Gu Yong. Since you're close to him, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need any help from me, just tell me. After the incident, I'll also direct the blame towards Song Wanning and bring her to ruin!"

The two hit it off immediately, and after agreeing on when to take action, Xu Lian quietly left A Tian's tent late at night.

On the other side, Song Wanning and Yun Che were in the tent, one reading a military book and the other reading a medical book. Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was exceptionally quiet and beautiful.

Yun Che heard the sound of gongs knocking outside and realized that it was getting late. He looked in Song Wanning's direction and saw that she was still dressed as a man. He couldn't help but ask her, "Since everyone knows your identity, why do you still dress like a man?"

As he said that, he stood up and walked over to Song Wanning and sat down next to her. He moved closer to her and gently pinched the black stuff on her face with his hands, but found that he couldn't rub it off at all.

Song Wanning slapped his hand away: "It's inconvenient to act as a woman. If I keep this outfit, people will think I'm still like this, but my gender has changed to a woman. There will be no barrier for me, and it will be much easier to practice medicine."

"If I put on a dress and wiped off the black on my face, they would definitely think I was a stranger."

Yun Che felt a little jealous: “What about me? Aren’t you worried that I’ll feel strange?”

Song Wanning blinked: "You said it, I look the same no matter what I wear, you don't care."

Yun Che sighed. He didn't expect that he would shoot himself in the foot.

"You are protecting me so much in front of everyone, aren't you afraid of people gossiping about you?" Song Wanning asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

Yun Che chuckled: "What do you think my position is in the army?"

"General?"

"That's right. Military orders are as heavy as mountains. My words are military orders. Those who disobey orders will be punished according to military law. This is not a street corner, let alone the officialdom of the capital. Everyone only cares about whether the war will be won, whether they can have enough food tomorrow, whether they can survive the day after tomorrow, and whether their family members are healthy. They don't care about other things."

Song Wanning nodded in understanding. Yun Che's words made her respect the soldiers in the barracks, and at the same time she felt a little disgust and contempt for Xu Lian and A Tian.

They naturally don't care how much the soldiers pay to defend their country, they will only ruthlessly use them for their own benefit.

"Has the person who stole the granary list been caught?" Song Wanning suddenly thought of something and asked again.

Yun Che shook his head.

Song Wanning pouted: "Don't look for it. One of the little mice I sent out a few days ago said that he saw Ah Tian go to the granary. Plus, she was targeting me that day, so I guess she was the one who stole the list."
