They watched her closely, even the four nannies and two maids attending her were skilled in martial arts.

In truth, Su Yan never thought of escaping; escape wasn’t possible.

Since she was captured, she settled in with peace of mind and let everything proceed naturally.

Every day, Su Yan ate well, drank well, and slept well; not only did she nurture her body back to health, she even gained some weight.

She checked her own pulse, learned that the fetus was stable and normal, and felt no concerns anymore.

Now, she only looked forward to when she could see Chu Yuxiao; she didn’t even know if he knew she had been captured...

After staying in the room for five or six days, what was meant to happen finally came.

Looking at the small white porcelain medicine bottle before her, Su Yan felt the blood in her whole body freeze.

Only by tightly gripping her hands could she restrain her trembling body.

Cang Mo sent someone to deliver this medicine to her, and she knew she must take it.

Maybe she could see Chu Yuxiao today, but the condition was that she had to take this bottle of medicine; even if Chu Yuxiao rescued her, her and her child’s lives would still be in Cang Mo’s hands.

She should have known earlier; things wouldn’t be so simple...

Reaching out to take the medicine bottle, Su Yan opened it and sniffed it, and her complexion changed instantly.

The legendary Seven Insect Flower, after poisoning, within seven days, one dies from the toxin...

There is an antidote, but...

The door was pushed open, the morning sun spilled its pale golden rays in, alongside Cang Mo’s tall, sturdy figure.

Meeting his deep black eyes, Su Yan tightened her grip on the medicine bottle; under his silent coercion, she still swallowed the medicine.

If she didn’t take it, she would lose her life immediately.

Having taken it, she would at least have seven more days...

Until the last moment, don’t give up...

Outside Fengdu City, the battle raged fiercely.

The army of the Great Nan Dynasty surged like a flood, unstoppable, soon about to break through Cangyue Country’s central city.

If Fengdu City fell, then Cangyue Country’s demise would be imminent...

Chu Yuxiao sat on a tall black horse, donned in silver armor, wielding a silver spear; amidst the chaos, he was like an unparalleled war god, imposing and inaccessible.
