An expression of horror appeared on Han Na’s face when he saw Yu Yunxi, Feng Yili, and Shen Hezhi.

“You… How are all of you fine?”

Shen Si asked worriedly, “You’re back. Is everything okay?”

Although Shen Si knew Yu Yunxi was prepared for this, he was still worried.

“Godfather, we’re all fine. Don’t worry,” Yu Yunxi hurriedly said to reassure Shen Si.

At this time, Shen Hezhi said, “We’ve also captured Nan Xun. He’s already been imprisoned in the dungeon.”

‘What? They captured the Crown Prince?!’

Han Na shouted, “You’re lying! I don’t believe you! The Crown Prince is fine! Don’t even think of using this to make me submit!”

Yu Yunxi was surprised when she saw Han Na’s behavior. After all, she had already expected him to be the traitor. She said coldly, “It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

“Take him away, and lock him up separately from Crown Prince Nan,” Shen Si said, no longer wanting to look at the eyesore in front of him.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Wait a minute,” Yu Yunxi suddenly called out.

Upon hearing this, Han Na thought Yu Yunxi was going to confess that they were lying. Unexpectedly, she walked over and stuffed something into his mouth. As soon as he swallowed the thing into his stomach, he felt weak all over, and his internal energy seemed to be gradually draining away. He glared at her and asked through gritted teeth, “You, what did you do to me?”

“It’s nothing. Since you’re so loyal, I fed you what I fed your master,” Yu Yunxi said with a sneer.

After that, the guards dragged Han Na out.

After silence returned to the tent, Yu Yunxi quickly moved to stand in front of Ying Jianyuan and said, “General Ying, I’m sorry I had to wrong you previously.”

Ying Jianyuan was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “Yu Yunxi, I know you were only putting on a show for Han Na when you questioned me previously. Moreover, when Siyuan and I went to the dungeon, we saw that it was clean and tidy, not any worse than our rooms. The guards told us that you arranged it for us. How could I not know you were luring the snake out of its nest?”

Although Ying Jianyuan did not blame her, she still felt very guilty. Then, she looked at Shen Si and said helplessly, “Godfather, why didn’t you tell us that you and General Ying had been acting all these years?”

Shen Si cleared his throat awkwardly before he explained, “I was afraid that it would be difficult to continue the act if too many people knew about it.” Shen Si looked at Ying Jianyuan meaningfully, and the latter quickly spoke up.

“Yunxi, don’t blame your Godfather. It was my idea. If we didn’t do that, it’d be hard to lure the traitor out,” Ying Jianyuan said. Then, to change the topic, he quickly asked, “By the way, when did you start to suspect Han Na?”

“The night he was trapped in Lucky Moon Valley, I brought Young General Ying with me not only to test Young General Ying…” Yu Yunxi said, looking at Ying Siyuan guiltily before she continued to say, “I also wanted to test Han Na.”

“I’ve fought with Nan Xun for many years, and he always mocked me for being a decorative vase that only knows how to use poison. After all, he suffered a lot on the battlefield because of the poison…”

Ying Jianyuan and the others looked at each other and nodded. Indeed, they won many battles thanks to Yu Yunxi’s poison. They did not see anything wrong with this. Even the slightest mistake could cost a life on the battlefield. They did not think it was wrong to use poison if they could protect their people.

“As the saying goes, ‘Once bitten, twice shy’. That was why Nan Xun was very vigilant of you whenever I fought together with you. He was worried you’d use poison again,” Ying Jianyuan said with a sigh.

“That’s right. He indeed became very vigilant,” Yu Yunxi said sarcastically, “However, that day when Lucky Moon Valley was filled with thick smoke, he was not vigilant at all and fell for my trick..

Seeing the confusion on everyone’s faces, Yu Yunxi explained, “That’s because I told Qian Ji to tell Han Na that there was no poison in the smoke when Qian Ji rescued Han Na.”

Shen Hezhi nodded in understanding. “I see. Han Na must have tipped Nan Xun off somehow. That was why Nan Xun was so confident and did not guard against the smoke.”

“That’s right. Just like today. I ordered people to poison the fog, but Nan Xun didn’t guard against it,” Yu Yunxi said.

“Someone must have told him about your plan in advance so he was not worried about falling into a trap,” Feng Yili said.

Yu Yunxi nodded. “That’s right.”

At this moment, Ying Jianyuan looked at Ying Siyuan and said, “Brat, you have to learn how to strategize from the County Princess in the future.”

Yu Yunxi had only made one move, but so many chess pieces on the chessboard were affected. On the contrary, Shen Si and Ying Jianyuan plotted for so long before they lured out the traitor.

Ying Jianyuan was rather emotional when he thought about this.

Yu Yunxi looked up and said to Shen Si, “Godfather, we have to be prepared. Now that Nan Xun is in our hands, it means we have a bargaining chip.”

Shen Si said seriously, “You’re right. Whether we can make Nanyue retreat or not depends on this…”

“If they want Nan Xun to live, they’ll have to show their sincerity. If we don’t let them suffer a little, they won’t learn their lesson and will continue to plot against us in the future,” Shen Hezhi said icily.

Yu Yunxi quickly nodded in agreement. “That’s right. The ones who are most anxious now should be the imperial family of Nanyue. All we need to do is just state our conditions.”

Shen Si nodded. “Alright, we’ll discuss this at length later. You’ve all worked hard today. Go and rest.’

After walking out, Yu Yunxi sighed in relief. She felt surreal. After fighting with Nan Xun for so long, she did not expect to capture him today.

“This time, it’s all thanks to Han Na. If he hadn’t tipped Nan Xun off, Nan Xun wouldn’t have been so confident. Nan Xun believed everything Han Na said and ended up being tricked by us,” Shen Hezhi said after he covered his mouth and coughed.

“That’s right. However, we can’t let our guard down. After all, there’s still the

Third Prince of Beixiao on Nanyue’s side,” Yu Yunxi said seriously as she shook her head.

Shen Hezhi nodded and said, “Yes. I also heard Nanyue has a female general who’s highly valued by the Emperor. Her name is Gao Shixuan. We’ve never fought with her before. I wonder how capable she is…” “Gao Shixuan? This name…
