After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

Cheng Songan's brows were drawn very low, and she rarely had a gloomy and violent expression, but now that she had returned from the battlefield, the desire to kill had not completely disappeared.

"She is not dead after all."

This method of using poison was not used by the Rouran people, but by Xue Tingrong.

Over the years, Cheng Songan has lived in seclusion in Jiangnan, but through his contact with Princess Xiang, he knows everything about the capital.

That year, Cui Yuanqing took Xue Tingrong's life with one palm. Everything was so chaotic that day that Si Tui took her "corpse" for burial, and no one stopped him.

When leaving, Cheng Songan once asked if he had put Situi under house arrest as well. Cui Yuanqing looked painful at the time, and she didn't really understand. Only later did she find out that Situi had disappeared.

Cheng Songan always had a feeling that Xue Tingrong was not really dead. Her actions that day were too abnormal, as if she was deliberately provoking Cui Yuanqing and seeking death.

Everything was in her plan, so what about coming to the Northwest? Was coming to the Northwest part of her plan, or did she end up here by chance?

Xuanwu's gaze always lingered on Xiao Fengzheng's face, and he briefly told her about his experiences over the past two days.

"The person who left the letter was not from the same route as the one who came to catch Xiao Fengzheng. That person acted alone. I chased him to a place where all kinds of people gathered, and then he disappeared. The ones who caught him were Xue Tingrong's people."

Cheng Songan reached out and touched her daughter's face. It was cold. She seemed to feel her mother coming. She wrinkled her nose and wanted to cry, but she didn't cry. Cheng Songan's tears kept falling.

Wang Lujun brought hot water and said to her, "Sister Cheng, you take a shower first. I have used golden needles to seal the acupuncture points of Xiao Fengzheng's heart. As long as you get the antidote within two days, she will be safe."

Cheng Songan finally felt a little relieved and turned to go out.

Wang Lujun chased after her and pulled her back: "Master Cui has already gone. You are injured and have been through a whole day and night. It would be bad if you go."

Cheng Songan was dragged around like a puppet by her while she checked her wound, cleaned her wound, and urged her to change into clean clothes before she stopped.

"Do you know medical skills?" Cheng Songan couldn't help but ask when he saw her skillful movements.

Wang Lujun nodded proudly: "Since I have nothing to do these years, I secretly took the wife of the left judge of the Imperial Hospital as my teacher."

Cheng Songan calmed down and knew that the only thing he could do now was to wait for Cui Yuanqing to bring back news.

She was not seriously injured, so she said to Wang Lujun, "You have medical skills, go to the camp quickly. Many soldiers were killed and wounded in this battle. Even he and several lieutenants were seriously injured. The military doctor will definitely be too busy to handle it."

Wang Lujun's face froze and she ran outside without saying a word. But as soon as she walked out of the room, she bumped into the person who came.

"Sister Cheng!" the visitor shouted anxiously, "Quick, Lord Cui! He..."

She ran up the stairs, almost falling, and kept saying, "Lord Cui broke into the Rouran royal court alone."

The person who came was Duan Zhuyu.

Cheng Songan didn't bother to ask her how she came back. He just widened his eyes in shock at her words: "Didn't Cui Yuanqing go to find Xue Tingrong? Could it be that Xue Tingrong is in the Rouran royal court?"

Duan Zhuyu shook her head: "I fell into the hands of the Rouran people this time because Xue Tingrong deceived me with Si Tui's whereabouts. I didn't fall for it at first. I just wanted to know her purpose. But after entering the Rouran royal court, I found out that she didn't want to kill me, but wanted to use me to lead my uncle to attack the Rouran."

She spoke a lot in one breath, and then paused, "In the past few years, Xue Tingrong has been in the Rouran royal court, pretending to be a female doctor beside the Rouran princess. She has not made any moves, as if she was just waiting for us."

Cheng Songan frowned slightly. Why did Xue Tingrong do this? What good would it do her if the border was in chaos? Attacking the Rongdi tribe was legitimate, but the alliance with the Rouran tribe was still in place. In addition, although the tribes that the Rouran tribe had formed an alliance with were small, they could not be underestimated when combined.

General Lu and the Ming army had just experienced a fierce battle and could not withstand another fierce war. Besides, the ambitions of several Rouran tribes were not big, so as long as they continued the alliance, there would be no harm.

Seeing that she was silent, Duan Zhuyu continued, "When Lu Qingshan came to find me, he discovered that the Rongdi had ambushed them, so he used the Cloud Piercing Arrow to expose the Rongdi's position."

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Songan asked, "Why didn't Lu Qingshan come back with you?"

Duan Zhuyu still had a look of fear on her face as she said, "Lord Cui has gone mad. He wanted to break into the Rouran royal court alone. Qingshan couldn't stop him, so he chased after him. He asked me to come back and report to you."

Cheng Songan's palms were full of cold sweat. Xue Tingrong's chain of schemes was intended to drive Cui Yuanqing crazy just like she did back then. His identity and entry into the royal court would definitely cause border disputes and cause endless conflicts between Daqian and the surrounding tribes.

Cui Yuanqing, for the sake of Xiao Fengzheng, he broke into the Rouran royal court alone...

She raised her sword and said to Duan Zhuyu, "I'll go and meet him."

……

The sun was setting in the west. Cheng Songan had not seen such a sunset for a long time. She could not see the road ahead clearly and could only vaguely make out two figures riding horses coming towards her from the opposite direction.

As they got closer, they could see that the tall man on the horse had long been exhausted. He was staggering, as if he was trying hard to hold on. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Cheng Songan coming, then his eyes went dark and he fell off the horse.

"Cui Yuanqing!" Cheng Songan immediately dismounted and ran over to help Cui Yuanqing up.

Cui Yuanqing opened his eyes that were almost covered with blood, and said weakly: "Cheng Songan, I brought my daughter back. Have you seen her? She was poisoned by the Snow Region Ice Snake. Fortunately, fortunately..."

Before he could finish his words, he fainted.

Lu Qingshan, who was following behind him, dragged a figure forward and threw her heavily to the ground.

Xue Tingrong.

After five years of not seeing each other, she had lost her lotus-like immaturity and became more beautiful, but her face was lifeless. She raised her eyes to look at Cheng Songan, her eyes slightly turned, and she looked at her carefully, then smiled: "Sister, I thought I would never see you again in this life. It's great that I see you again. Now I really have no regrets in my life."

Just hearing her words, it seemed as if she and Cheng Songan really had a deep sisterly love.

Cheng Songan said angrily: "Where is the antidote? Take it out!"

Xue Tingrong smiled softly as always and said, "If you kill Cui Yuanqing, I will give it to you."

Cheng Songan paused, thinking he had heard wrongly, and asked again: "Who to kill?"

"Cui Yuanqing," Xue Tingrong raised her head slightly to look at the setting sun in the distance, as if expecting something, "Don't you hate him? Kill him and I will save your daughter."

Lu Qingshan could no longer hold back and scolded, "Haven't you always wanted to get Cui Yuanqing? Why did you want to kill him?"

Xue Tingrong's emotions did not change because of him. She continued to stare at the sunset in a daze: "Haven't you always wanted to get Cheng Songan? Why are you risking your life for Duan Zhuyu?"

Lu Qingshan choked.
