Jin Chupei was someone who would act according to his will. Upon thinking of this, he immediately followed orders, especially regarding Sun Jinzi.

He snapped his fingers and called for a clap of thunder.

”Mu Jin betrayed us and showed her the power of your hidden guards.”

Jin Chupei's expression was cold to the extreme. He believed that if Mu Jin, who was currently called Mu Jin, was here, she would definitely die a miserable death.

In next to no time, the sound of wailing ghosts and howling wolves resounded throughout the courtyard.

”Ah …” Save me, spare me. ” She was crying so hard.

Sun Jinzi only listened, this kind of traitor did not deserve any of her sympathy.

”Is he going to kill her?” Although Sun Jinzi didn't sympathize with her, she couldn't help but want to ask her.

”She must die. If she doesn't die, the people behind us will learn from her. ”

Thus, punishment had to be strict. Once a punishment was established, no matter who it was, they would be punished severely.

”In that case, why don't we just give her a quick death?”

Sun Jinzi could not bear to watch or listen, but it seemed that the punishment was extremely harsh, to the point that they were able to hear it clearly from a distance.

”Alright, one more hour then.”

That was what they were told to hear.

Jin Chupei really made her endure for an hour before she managed to kill her. Everyone was a little afraid. While they were betraying Zhang Xuan, they couldn't help but think about it.

This was not the first time Sun Jinzi was so cold and heartless to him, but she could understand why.

After all, if they were able to remain calm while facing traitors, it would only be a waste of their courage.

With this, there would be a second time, a third time, and even a third time.

And as long as one's methods were more ruthless, killing as an example to make an example for others, it would definitely cause fear to appear in some people's heart. The timid ones would not dare to have any more tricks up their sleeves.

Mu Jin's voice continued for less than an hour.

Sun Jinzi had been shocked a few times, and gradually got used to hearing it, but Mu Jin did not make a sound.

It was probably because the punishment was too heavy, causing him to be unable to call out.

”Your Highness, she did not survive the twelfth punishment.” A thunderclap came to report.

”You know how to handle yourself.” Jin Chupei waved his hand.

They had already reached the twelfth path, and would not be able to complete it anymore, so they would no longer be able to appear in front of Zi Er.

The sound of thunder rang out, and someone dragged her corpse, wrapped it in a mat, and threw it onto the back of the mountain.

There were a few more wolves there, so it didn't take long for the corpse to be engulfed.

When the news of the incident in the military camp spread, some people actually immediately fainted when they heard it.

”Arrest them.” Jin Chupei gave the order without thinking.

Sun Jinzi was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it later, she understood.

”Those people either want to betray us or have already done so. That is why they feel guilty.” Jin Chupei understood them very well.

”Yes, His Highness has also done this many times in the army camp, but those steely men were good people. They never betrayed anyone, so they are not afraid of any punishment.”

Since the conversation had reached this stage, Sun Jinzi was not a fool, how could she not understand?

He immediately smiled at them. ”I'm fine. The others have nothing to do with me. That Mu Jin only served me once on account of her.”

”But she ruined your medicine.” This was the thing that Jin Chupei could not tolerate the most.

”I... ”I'm fine for now, but I can still hold on.” Sun Jinzi was very clear about the condition of her body.

Her body could already be considered to be deteriorating, and had been working too hard these few days, but now that Mu Jin had destroyed her life-saving medicine, there were only a few pills left. Even if Ji Zi, the genius doctor in the capital, were to send someone to deliver the medicine to her now, it would be too far away to save her from trouble, so she could only watch.

She would get weaker and weaker. Then her body would slowly turn cold, starting with her blood. There wouldn't be a single trace of warmth left in her body. Just like that, she would freeze into an ice woman.

This kind of feeling, no matter who thought of it, would cause one to shudder.

”Zi Er... You're cold, aren't you? ” Jin Chupei saw that Sun Jinzi's face was pale white, his lips were slightly black, and immediately went forward and hugged her.

”Cold, it's really cold.”

She was going to die soon. When she was back in this life, she still hadn't done anything.

No, that's not right, it can't be said that she didn't do anything. At the very least, if she married Jin Chupei, she would have to tell him everything that happened afterwards before she died, and let him be fine. Even if he couldn't get the world, he would have to live a peaceful life.

”Zi Er, what are you thinking about?” Jin Chupei looked straight into Sun Jinzi's eyes, and within those eyes, the feeling of parting from death could clearly be seen.

”Don't let your thoughts run wild, you know? It's just that he's sick. If he's sick, then it's a cure. If a genius doctor can have medicine, then so can others. ”

Jin Chupei did not believe it. He embraced Sun Jinzi with a strength he had never used before, as if he wanted to rub her into his marrow.

”Go and take care of your matters. I will take good care of myself.” Sun Jinzi pulled on the blanket, covering herself completely.

Her face was extremely cold, and even she herself could feel the iciness, slowly revealing the aura of frost.

”I'll have the maidservants take care of you.” Jin Chupei summoned a servant over, and was about to walk out, but when he reached the door, he became worried: ”Don't think too much, we will end this war soon. After that, we will go find the antidote.”

”I'm not thinking too much. It's you who are thinking too much.” Sun Jinzi pressed her chest and used all of her strength to force a smile onto her ice-cold face.

”You take good care of the Empress. If there's anything wrong with you, I won't forgive you.” Jin Chupei glared at the servant coldly, causing her to shiver non-stop.

The servant, Xiao Lv, looked down at her feet in disbelief.

Is the ferocious man in front of me the person who just spoke gently to The Crown Prince … the imperial concubine?

She was slightly suspicious, as it was just a moment ago that they weren't the same person.

”Tea.” Sun Jinzi watched as Jin Chupei walked out, and immediately ordered a cup of hot tea.
