As the footsteps gradually approached from a distance, Emperor Beichen released his grip on Baili Hongzhuang and turned around to see the figures of Yulin Feng and Nangong Wu slowly approaching.
Upon seeing Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang, Nangong Wu and Yulin Feng also smiled with delight on their faces.
"I have been looking forward to the day when you two would marry," Nangong Wu exclaimed with a smile. "Hongzhuang will undoubtedly be the most beautiful bride in the world."
Although she didn't know how Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang had come together, seeing their close relationship and how they had supported each other along the way, Nangong Wu knew that their bond forged through shared hardships was extraordinary and beyond the reach of ordinary people.
She only hoped that Baili Hongzhuang would exact her revenge soon and enjoy the happiness that belonged to her.
Upon hearing Nangong Wu's words, Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang smiled.
That day was not far away.
"Hongzhuang, have your people pay attention to the movements of the Lan and Yue families. We have received some information," Nangong Wu slowly spoke up.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes lit up. "How is the situation now?"
She had been waiting for this specific information so that she could determine her next plan of action.
"It is said that not long after returning to the Lan family, Lan Qingyan was poisoned. No one in the Lan family can cure her, so they quickly sent Lan Qingyan to the Yue family."
The three spirit beasts also gathered around Baili Hongzhuang. It seemed that the situation was exactly as their master had anticipated.
A mischievous smile curled up at the corner of Baili Hongzhuang's lips. It appeared that Lan Qingyan was having a hard time now.
After noticing Baili Hongzhuang's knowing smile, Nangong Wu and the others understood. "Hongzhuang, was it you who poisoned her?"
Baili Hongzhuang nodded and admitted openly, "Yes, I gave Lan Qingyan the poison during our conflict in the Battle of Supremacy."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu and the others exchanged glances, but they believed that Baili Hongzhuang's actions were justified compared to what the Lan family had done to her and her family.
"According to the information from our spies, the poison did not prove fatal to Lan Qingyan, but it caused her immense pain," Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly. "This poison is not meant to be lethal, just incredibly bothersome."
She wouldn't let Lan Qingyan die so easily because she had more things to do.
Only when all of these matters were revealed to the Lan family would it be the most crucial moment.
Hearing Baili Hongzhuang's response, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned. So... was Baili Hongzhuang intentionally teasing the Lan family?
"The Lan family probably thought that Lan Qingyan was going to die, hence their haste in sending her to the Yue family. The Lan family must have been quite restless during this period," Nangong Wu's face also showed a playful smile. It seemed that the situation was much more interesting than she had imagined.
Emperor Beichen had previously learned about the poison during the Battle of Supremacy, but he didn't mind. Regardless of what Baili Hongzhuang did, his stance was clear: support!
"Yue Sijing's medical and toxicology skills are remarkable. Can she decipher this poison?" Yulin Feng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
"Perhaps she can, but it will certainly take some time," Baili Hongzhuang replied calmly.
