Thousands of miles traveled to the Great Chu Dynasty.
The King of Western Xia seems to have been unwell all along.
Upon entering the Capital City, all kinds of illnesses befell him.
However, this particular illness appeared somewhat unusual.
Ye Tang, as the envoy of the Great Chu Dynasty, naturally came to visit.
On this morning.
Ye Tang brought the Emperor’s personally bestowed supplements, heading to the guest house.
Upon entering, the Imperial Physician was already present.
Due to the Western Xia King’s poor health, the Emperor appointed several Imperial Physicians to attend to him closely.
After mutual greetings.
Ye Tang personally presented the supplements.
"This is a token from our Emperor, please the King of Western Xia must accept it!"
The Western Xia King lay on the bed, looking quite pale, and hurriedly rose upon hearing.
"Quickly! Someone, take the items!"
The attendant promptly responded and stepped forward to receive them.
The Western Xia King struggled to sit up.
"General Ye, please have a seat!"
Ye Tang smiled faintly, thanked him, and sat to one side.
The next part involved showing concern for the illness.
Then saying auspicious words like ’wish you speedy recovery.’
The Western Xia King was considered gracious, with a very sincere attitude.
Ye Tang displayed a good attitude too, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while.
The group was conversing.
Prince Jin entered from outside, holding a bowl of medicine.
He appeared a bit disheveled, sweat glistening on his forehead, carefully holding the bowl, afraid of spilling.
He entered and went straight to the bedside.
"Brother! The medicine is here!"
The Western Xia King’s expression flashed a complex look, which quickly vanished.
Prince Jin planned to hand the medicine to the Western Xia King.
Unfortunately, midway, he suddenly recalled something.
He slapped his forehead sharply:
"Oh no! Over there is full of firewood, what if it catches fire?!"
After speaking, he naturally placed the medicine bowl on the table beside Ye Tang and instructed.
"General Ye, please hand the medicine to my Imperial Brother, I must go and check immediately!"
Ye Tang intended to refuse, but he had already hurriedly left.
She looked at the medicine bowl, then at the critically ill Western Xia King.
Unknowingly, she felt a bit of sympathy?!
She smiled bitterly.
Well, just a small gesture!
Without choice, Ye Tang had to personally hand it over!
The Western Xia King’s face was somewhat ashen.
Almost without hesitation, he took the medicine and drank it directly.
Perhaps it was too bitter, his expression was very distorted.
Ye Tang turned around, finding nothing, then handed him a cup of water to rinse his mouth.
She also handed him a cloth to wipe his mouth!
After everything was arranged, the Western Xia King finally sighed deeply.
"Thanks for your effort, General Ye!"
Ye Tang smiled faintly.
"It’s just a small effort, nothing worth mentioning!!"
The Western Xia King smiled slightly, not saying more!
Ye Tang spoke again.
"The Imperial Physician says you are unaccustomed to the climate and the medicine sent today is for nourishment!"
"Later, let the attendants brew it for you, and I expect you’ll recover soon!"
The Western Xia King laughed bitterly upon hearing.
"Recover? Haha, you don’t understand!"
"However... it’s been hard on you, General Ye!"
For unknown reasons, upon seeing Ye Tang, he felt a sense of familiarity.
It was as if he had seen her a long time ago.
Or perhaps her brows and eyes resembled someone he knew?
The Western Xia King did not deliberate further.
Ye Tang found it hard to understand.
"Hard on me?"
Thinking: The Western Xia King’s words seem hard to comprehend!
The Western Xia King refused to explain further.
He shut his eyes and only mentioned he was tired.
Ye Tang, seeing this, could only rise and leave.
...
It was initially a normal visit to a sick person.
But Ye Tang never expected, she had already fallen into someone’s trap.
That night, news from the guest house arrived at the palace, saying the Western Xia King had been poisoned.
This news was like a huge stone thrown into the calm lake, instantly stirring up waves.
Everyone was stunned.
The Western Xia King poisoned?
The Western Xia King poisoned while in the Great Chu Dynasty?!
If not handled well, it’s not just a matter of two nations turning hostile.
If something unfortunate happens to the Western Xia King.
The Great Chu Dynasty would not be able to clear its name even with a thousand explanations!
At that time, the surrounding nations’ opinions could drown you!
After that, who would dare visit?
No matter how mighty the Great Chu Dynasty is, it’s not overwhelmingly superior.
Therefore... Zhao Junyao took this matter very seriously!
He issued orders upon receiving the news that night.
The Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple must immediately dispatch people to investigate.
Additionally...
Ye Tang, directly associated with this matter, had to be detained first.
Regarding this, Zhao Junyao was deeply pained.
Ye Tang may only be a Fifth Rank General.
But ultimately, she was someone he trusted and personally promoted.
