Misty Rain Tower

The grasslands, the cold wind biting to the bone.

All eyes were on the scene as Helian Lanruo carefully applied wolf medicine to Bai Wangyu's wounds and bandaged them up, her face full of distress, an expression they had never seen before.

The warriors of the Helian tribe felt a pang of jealousy at this sight.

Their beautiful princess seemed to have taken a liking to a man from the Central Plains.

"Lanruo, how did you end up so far away?"

The Great Sovereign of Helian asked, puzzled.

Helian Lanruo was about to respond when, not far away, Li Ziye stepped forward and said, "Great Sovereign, someone is plotting against the princess!"

Hearing this, the Great Sovereign of Helian frowned slightly and demanded, "What do you mean? Explain yourself!"

"Reporting to the Great Sovereign."

Li Ziye's gaze shifted towards Ao Qiong in the distance and calmly stated, "Today, while accompanying the princess on a hunt, everything was fine until Ao Qiong came in contact with the princess's horse. After that, the horse went out of control, as if it had gone mad. We chased it all the way here before finally catching up with the princess, only to encounter a wolf pack."

"Nonsense!"

Behind the Great Sovereign of Helian, Ao Qiong's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he protested, "You're slandering me! I did not poison the princess's horse!"

"Poison?"

Li Ziye's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "Did I ever mention poison? Ao Qiong, how did you know the princess's horse was poisoned?"
