Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

She looked at him carefully. The Fifth Prince was wearing a long black silk gown and an emerald green jade belt around his waist. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, lips painted red, and teeth like woven shells. He no longer had the playful air that she had when they first met, but instead looked handsome and gentle.

What a handsome boy!

His figure should have been as slender and upright as a bamboo, but now he was confined to a wheelchair. His pale skin added a touch of frailty to his appearance. A man who should have been as graceful and elegant as a banished immortal was truly a cause for regret.

Shen Qingge truly felt regretful. She had a carefree personality and always loved pursuing beautiful things, so naturally she was attracted to handsome men. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily dazzled by Xiao Mo's good looks in her previous life.

In terms of appearance, if the Fifth Prince hadn't been poisoned, he would certainly have been more outstanding than the sinister and vicious Xiao Mo. It was a pity that fate was so fickle, causing such a handsome young man to suffer from illness...

Yun Yi, who was standing by, saw the two of them looking at each other from a distance of ten feet, their expressions difficult to read. He was completely confused, but did not dare to interrupt.

After a while, it was Shen Qingge who broke the deadlock.

She bent her knees slightly, lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you so late at night!"

Then, she offered the water bag in her hands with both hands, her tone even more humble: "I wonder if Your Majesty drank the snow grass water last time? I have nothing else to offer, so I have to bring the snow grass water with me again."

When Yun Yi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.

He had initially held low hopes for the herbal remedies Shen Qingge had given him, but unexpectedly, after the prince drank them, he felt instantly refreshed and his body's toxicity suppressed. The effect was even better than the pills the miracle doctor had prescribed before! And when he heard the prince mention how rare and precious the snow-grass was, he realized it was truly a rare and effective medicine.

So, he couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes, stepped forward, and prepared to reach out to take the water bag.

However, Xiao Heng coughed twice at the right time to stop his action.

Xiao Heng showed a hint of disgust on his face, as if he was dissatisfied with his rather "unrestrained" behavior.

Yun Yi suddenly felt very embarrassed. He could only touch his head awkwardly and quickly retreat to Xiao Heng's side.

Then, Yun Yi deliberately put on a serious face and said:

"I wonder why Madam Shen came here so late at night? You know that there's a huge disparity between your status and the prince's, yet you're not shy about it. You even injured the guards outside the tent just to see the prince. Such an overreaching act doesn't make it clear that you have any respect for the prince at all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately made a gesture as if he was about to draw his sword.

Seeing his mysterious actions, Xiao Heng couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and sighed softly, "Yun Yi, you go down first! We don't need you to serve here for the time being!"

Yun Yi was a little puzzled when he heard this, and then looked at Xiao Heng, his eyes full of doubt and confusion.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng lowered his voice and reluctantly explained, "Relax, she must have come here for something important, and she certainly won't hurt me. Besides, with your abilities, are you sure you can defeat her?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi's face turned red and then pale, and he could only reluctantly leave the tent.

After Yun Yi left, Xiao Heng returned to the cynical look he had when Shen Qingge first met him.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a half-smile, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what are you doing here so late at night?"

During the day, he was thinking about how to meet Shen Qingge, but he never thought that this woman would come to him on her own. It must be that what she wanted was very urgent.

Seeing him like this, Shen Qingge frowned slightly, then said seriously, "Your Majesty, I want to form an alliance with you!"

"Oh? You want to form an alliance with me? Why?"

Shen Qingge did not hesitate, took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it over.

Xiao Heng took the secret letter with his slender fingers and read it carefully. He saw the words "Fifth Prince" clearly written on it, and also mentioned that they would meet in Anshan County.

No wonder Wang Gui, the messenger, came yesterday and respectfully requested that he change his route to Anshan County, which would take him 30 to 40 miles longer than going straight ahead. According to Wang Gui, he had found a pleasant place for him to rest for a day or two so that he could continue his journey more smoothly.

He had some doubts in his mind at the time, but thinking that the officers could not do anything wrong, he agreed.

It turns out that all this was premeditated.

It turns out that even though he had been lying dormant until this point, Third Brother was still eager to kill him!

A surge of hatred surged in his heart, and he almost crushed the secret letter in his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge understood that the Fifth Prince believed her.

She continued, "Your Highness, whether or not you form an alliance with me, we are both on the same assassination list by Xiao Mo."

Xiao Heng nodded, then fell into confusion again: "Does Miss Shen have more information? It's hard to tell much from this secret letter alone!"

"This is precisely why I, Your Highness, wish to form an alliance with you. We still don't know the enemy's deployment, their strength, or whether your troops can contend with them! Therefore, I, Your Highness, am willing to go and spy on the enemy so that Your Highness can make early arrangements!"

Xiao Heng felt that it was inappropriate when he heard this. Although Shen Qingge was very powerful, she would be taking risks alone after all, which was not a good idea.

Shen Qingge knew this and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about this criminal slave. By chance, I learned the art of teleportation from a master, which allows me to hide and come and go without a trace."

After she finished speaking, she disappeared from Xiao Heng's sight out of thin air, and the next moment, she appeared in another corner of the tent.

Xiao Heng was no stranger to the world; the Great Zhou Dynasty was filled with talented individuals, so it wasn't surprising that they possessed such a secret technique. He finally understood why she could move freely in front of Yun Yi without being noticed.

Then, he said politely, "In that case, I'll trouble you, young lady! However, I don't know, if this great event is accomplished, what does young lady want from me?"

"I beg the prince to ensure the safety of my Shen family and to arrange for their travel permits and household registration. If we can defeat this wave of pursuers, we must not continue our journey of exile, as more will surely follow. I cannot bear to see them suffer the consequences!"

In exchange for this, I know that the prince is poisoned, and I will do my utmost to find an antidote for him."

Shen Qingge's eyes were resolute, her words powerful, and Xiao Heng couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart, as if touched by some inexplicable emotion. However, he immediately shook his head. The poison he had been poisoned with was not so easy to cure. He appreciated her kindness.

So, he smiled faintly and said, "Miss Shen, let's not talk about the future. Let's get through this first! As you wish, I will form an alliance with you! Moreover, since we are allies, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me, just call me by my name!"
