Jiang Yanwan felt mixed emotions when she saw Wu Junyao, but she knew she had to stay calm. She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said concisely, "Commander Wu, the Queen has targeted me because of Liu Mengli's matter."

Wu Junyao frowned slightly when he heard this, but he did not seem very surprised.

He said softly: "After all, the Queen is a distinguished figure in the palace, so we should not care about these things."

Hearing this, Jiang Yanwan felt even more disappointed. She had thought Wu Junyao would stand up for her, but she didn't expect that he would choose to keep quiet.

She sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Wu Junyao, whose side are you on?"

Wu Junyao's expression was somewhat awkward, but his tone was somewhat cold and hard: "Jiang Yanwan, have I been too nice to you these days? On what grounds are you talking to me like this? The Queen is of noble status, and so is Liu Mengli. She saved my life, and neither you nor I can afford to offend her!"

Jiang Yanwan felt completely chilled in her heart.

She said coldly: "It turns out that in your heart, I am just someone you can abandon at any time. You really disappoint me terribly."

"Wu Junyao, from now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I take mine."

After saying this, Jiang Yanwan turned and left without waiting for Wu Junyao to react. Her back was firm and resolute, leaving Wu Junyao standing there.

As night fell, Jiang Yanwan returned home, gently pushed open Ayan's door, and saw him sleeping peacefully, with some fatigue still on his face.

She sat on the edge of the bed and made up her mind that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles she encountered, she would protect her children and uncover the truth of it all.

Late at night, moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains into the room. Jiang Yanwan lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to calm down. She thought about the conversation with Wu Junyao during the day, and her chest ached. However, she quickly suppressed the pain and turned to think about how to deal with everything that was going to happen next.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came over her, and she felt as if there were countless tiny claws tearing at her mind, and the pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she clutched the bed sheet tightly, biting her lips to prevent herself from making any sound.

At this moment, Jiang Yanwan found that the scene in front of her became blurred, and she seemed to be in a strange world. Surrounded by a dark forest, filled with fog, and the trees twisted like the arms of a devil. She looked around in horror, but could not find the exit.

"Is this... a nightmare?" Jiang Yanwan realized that she had been poisoned by the insect and fell into an inescapable nightmare. She forced herself to calm down, concentrate, and try to break this nightmare.

However, the monster in the nightmare was getting closer and closer, and its sharp roar pierced her eardrums. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her chest, and when she looked down, she found a scarlet tentacle piercing her body, sucking her life force crazily. She struggled with all her might, but could not get rid of it.

Just when she was in despair, Jiang Yanwan suddenly thought of her blood.

She resolutely bit her finger and dripped blood onto the tentacles on her chest. Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed, and the tentacles shrank rapidly, and she was finally freed from the nightmare.

Jiang Yanwan gasped for air and sat up from the bed in shock. She caught a glimpse of something shaking outside the window, and her heart trembled. She immediately stood up and walked over. When she opened the window, she suddenly found a familiar poisonous insect - this was the one she had used to treat Liu Mengli before, and she would never mistake the unique pattern.

"Liu Mengli, you actually used my poisonous insect to harm me!" Jiang Yanwan's eyes were burning with anger. She didn't expect that she would be betrayed by the person who saved her life in the past. At this moment, she was more determined to uncover the truth.

The next morning, Jiang Yanwan got up early, packed up, and went out with Ah Yan. She had to find a way to help break the witchcraft cast by Liu Mengli, and also find out who was behind it.

Jiang Yanwan and A Yan hurried all the way to the residence of senior brother Yun Qiubai.

"Senior Brother!" Jiang Yanwan called out anxiously as she pushed open the door.

Yun Qiubai was sitting at the desk studying ancient books. When he heard the voice, he immediately looked up at her, "Junior sister, why are you so anxious?"

Jiang Yanwan settled Ah Yan aside, and then told Yun Qiubai everything that happened last night. After hearing this, Yun Qiubai's face became very serious.

"Liu Mengli actually used your poisonous insect to harm you?" Yun Qiubai stood up, frowning, "This is not a simple matter."

Jiang Yanwan's eyes were firm: "Brother, I know that Liu Mengli was once the saint of the Western Regions Wu Gu family. Her behavior this time makes me suspect that there is something hidden between her and the queen."

"A Western Region witchcraft family?" Yun Qiubai pondered for a moment and nodded. "If Liu Mengli is really their saint, then it's not surprising that she has mastered the art of witchcraft. But you said she was able to turn your witchcraft against you, which shows that her attainments in witchcraft are extraordinary."

Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled. She didn't expect Liu Mengli's method to be so clever.

"Senior Brother, you also know that Wu Junyao is very close to Liu Mengli now, and I'm worried that he will be in danger." Jiang Yanwan frowned.

"I understand your concerns." Yun Qiubai sighed, "But given Wu Junyao's character, I'm afraid he won't easily believe our warnings."

Jiang Yanwan nodded, feeling more and more depressed. But she knew that no matter what, she had to try to remind Wu Junyao. Even if the other party didn't trust her, she couldn't just stand by and watch.

After saying goodbye to Yun Qiubai, Jiang Yanwan brought Ah Yan to Wu Junyao's residence. The guard at the door saw her and immediately informed Wu Junyao. Not long after, Wu Junyao appeared at the door with a gloomy face, as if he was not welcome to her sudden visit.

"What are you doing here again?" Wu Junyao asked coldly.

Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that if she wanted to convince Wu Junyao, she had to stay calm. "Wu Junyao, I have something important to tell you. It's about your safety."

Wu Junyao seemed a little impatient: "If it's about Liu Mengli, I don't want to hear it anymore. I spent a lot of time investigating what you told me last time, but I didn't find anything unusual."

Jiang Yanwan couldn't suppress her anger: "Don't you know that Liu Mengli is the saint of the Western Region's witch family? Not only can she manipulate the poisonous insects, she can also incite them to rebel. I almost died in her hands last night!"

"Are you crazy?" Wu Junyao sneered disdainfully, "Liu Mengli saved my life, she won't hurt me. And you are just making up these lies full of loopholes because you are jealous of her."

Jiang Yanwan felt her heart was chilled. She held back her tears and tried to keep her voice steady: "Wu Junyao, whether you believe it or not, I just want you to know that there is danger. Please be careful."

Wu Junyao stared at her coldly, with a slight smile on his face, "Don't mind my business, I'll take care of it myself."

Jiang Yanwan gritted her teeth, turned around and left with Ah Yan. She didn't want to say another word to Wu Junyao. Since he insisted on not believing it, she could only rely on herself to break through the fog.
