Jiang Ningwan interrupted coldly: "We can't leave now, it has nothing to do with you."

Saki didn't have the strength to speak, but she knew very well that it had a lot to do with her.

If she hadn't arrested the wrong person, they wouldn't be trapped here.

The person arrested was the person she admired the most. If something really happened to Jiang Ningwan, she would never be able to forgive herself.

Jiang Ningwan took some dry food to Shaji so that she could recover some strength.

But now we are in urgent need of medicinal materials.

"Is there any clinic or pharmacy nearby?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Saki supported herself and drew a simple map on the linen with her blood. "This is the clinic."

Jiang Ningwan noted the location of the clinic and was about to go out to check it out, but Xiao Lan stopped her, "Madam, you stay here to take care of the prince. I'll go buy the herbs."

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and gave him two bottles of poison powder for self-defense. "Be careful."

By evening, Xiao Lan quietly left the cellar.

In the dark wine cellar, the surroundings were illuminated by the faint light of candles. In the silence, Jiang Ningwan was always listening to the movements outside.

Feeling uneasy.

It was not until after midnight that Xiao Lan finally came back.

Jiang Ningwan breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the situation outside?"

Xiao Lan's expression was solemn. "The entire city is being searched. I guess they'll soon reach here."

As he spoke, Xiao Lan took out a medicine bag from his arms and said, "You need to register to buy trauma medicine at the city's Chinese medicine clinic, so I can't buy it. I stole it at night. These are all I have in the cabinet."

Jiang Ningwan took the herbs, looked at them, and nodded, "It can last for two days."

She immediately found a place to start grinding the herbs. Since there was no fire to make here, she could only make some medicine for external injuries and hemostatics.

Xiao Lan climbed up the stairs and kept an eye on the movements outside.

After preparing the external medicine, Jiang Ningwan reapplied it to Saji, but Saji said weakly, "I can't hold on any longer. Don't waste the medicine on me."

Jiang Ningwan touched her forehead and found it was a little hot.

There is no way to give her better treatment right now. She can only rely on her willpower to get through it. If the medicine works, she can still save her life!

"Hold on, if you die, no one will know what Lu Qingheng did. Don't you still want to seek revenge on her?"

"I'll take you back to Daning State, and you'll personally announce Lu Qingheng's crimes to the world, okay?"

Saki's eyes were red and tears welled up, "I want to..."

"Thank you for killing King Zhao and avenging me. My sisters who died can rest in peace in their graves."

Jiang Ningwan held her hand tightly, "Shaji, when we return to Daning Kingdom, we will seek justice for you and those seventeen sisters!"

Saki forced a smile and said, "Okay..."

"Don't call me Shaji anymore. That's the name King Zhao gave me. My original name was Yang Wanning."

Jiang Ningwan's throat suddenly tightened. "Wan Ning, that sounds really nice."

The night gradually deepened. Jiang Ningwan covered Shaji with a quilt. Seeing that Qin Shuangchi had fallen asleep, she also found a place to take a nap.

Take a break so that you can replace Xiao Lan.

Later in the night, Jiang Ningwan woke up subconsciously feeling a little uneasy. She stood up and went to the stairs, "Xiao Lan, I'll watch over here. You take a rest."

"Thank you, ma'am." Xiao Lan rubbed his red eyes.

Jiang Ningwan had just gone up the stairs to keep watch when Xiao Lan suddenly called out, "Madam, Yang Wanning seems to be acting strangely!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

He quickly stepped forward to check and saw that Yang Wanning was pale and lifeless.

When I pulled back the quilt, I saw that her neck and collar were covered in blood.

Jiang Ningwan used trembling fingers to check for a pulse.

Nose is sour.

"She took poison!"

"Why are you so stupid? There's obviously still hope!" Jiang Ningwan clenched his palms tightly, his eyes red.

Qin Shuangchi woke up when he heard the noise and came over slowly. "She must be afraid of dragging us down."

Jiang Ningwan pounded her fists on the ground, hating the world for not giving her a chance to live.

After calming down, Jiang Ningwan tidied up Yang Wanning's clothes and let her leave cleanly.

I accidentally found a handkerchief in her arms, on which were embroidered the names of seventeen girls.

Jiang Ningwan clenched her handkerchief and secretly made up her mind to seek justice for them!

……

The next morning, Xiao Lan went out to gather information, hoping to see if there was any chance of escaping the city.

However, he didn't expect that Heiwu and his men had already searched the area nearby.

Xiao Lan was discovered!

A large number of soldiers began to hunt him down. Xiao Lan did not dare to return to the wine cellar as that would expose the location of the prince and his wife.

We can only try our best to divert the pursuers.

However, there were troops stationed in Zechuan City, and under heavy siege, the restaurant was also searched.

Hearing the chaotic footsteps and the clinking of swords, Jiang Ningwan immediately became alert, walked to the stairs, and clenched Ao Shuang in his hand.

"The guard beside the King of Chu is active nearby. The King of Chu is a cripple and can't run far. He must be hiding nearby! Search him!"

Heiwu's voice came from outside, not far from the wine cellar.

The exit of the wine cellar was blocked by Xiao Lan with wine barrels, so no one has found this place yet.

But it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

Qin Shuangchi's brows were furrowed, but his voice was calm: "Capturing an enemy prince will be very beneficial to the situation on the battlefield of Yuqian Kingdom. If you hand me over, you can save your life."

Jiang Ningwan frowned and gave him an unhappy look, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If I hand over my husband, am I still a human being?"

I don’t know how Qin Shuangchi could come up with such an inhumane method.

The word "husband" made Qin Shuangchi's heart beat faster suddenly.

"Weren't you forced to marry me?"

"Is this king so important to you?"

Qin Shuangchi's tone was indifferent, but his fingers clenched unconsciously.

Jiang Ningwan was surprised for a moment. How did he know that she was forced?

She turned her head and looked at him seriously, "You risked your life to come to the enemy to rescue me, and I will never abandon you when your life is on the line."

Qin Shuangchi clenched his palms again and again, "Do you still remember this prince's marriage certificate? If this prince dies, the entire palace property will be yours. Wouldn't you be tempted?"

He kept asking, always wanting to be sure of an answer.

Jiang Ningwan kept a vigilant eye on the outside and answered half-heartedly, "I didn't marry you for your wealth."

"then you……"

Qin Shuangchi wanted to ask more, but Jiang Ningwan interrupted him: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's talk about it when it's safe!"

Qin Shuangchi's heart sank. If it was safe, he wouldn't say anything.

He looked at Jiang Ningwan's back with complicated eyes, then pressed his chest uncomfortably, "Ahem..."

Jiang Ningwan was startled when she saw this and quickly stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shuangchi's face turned pale, "The wound seems to have split."

"Let me see!" Jiang Ningwan quickly bent down to undress him, wanting to check his injuries.

But at this moment, Qin Shuangchi took advantage of her unpreparedness and struck Jiang Ningwan on the back of the neck with a palm.

Jiang Ningwan fell on his knees and fainted.

Qin Shuangchi's slightly cool palm brushed her hair, "You sleep for a while, I'll take care of it outside."

He carefully picked up Jiang Ningwan, placed her on the soft quilt in the corner, and covered her with it.

Then he turned the wheelchair and slowly moved towards the stairs.

Special wheelchairs can go up stairs, but they require operating a mechanism and are very slow.

Just as Qin Shuangchi was concentrating on going upstairs.

Suddenly the wheelchair stopped moving, as if it was stuck.

He was about to bend down to check when Jiang Ningwan's voice slowly rang out: "Are you just going to leave me alone like this?"
