Nalan Hongbo knew about the situation with the Jin Meng Empire from the very beginning. Naturally, when he was escorting Princess Lan Yue, he planned to play some tricks. After all, a helpless Princess Lan Yue would be much easier to handle.
Unfortunately, Princess Lan Yue was far too vigilant. She refused to eat any of their food. Even if they ate it right in front of her, she wouldn't touch it, consuming only the provisions she had prepared herself.
Besides, they weren't far from White Jade City at the time, and news of the war between the two nations hadn't spread yet. Nalan Hongbo certainly wasn't going to look for trouble then, so he reluctantly gave up on the idea.
However, he switched from poisoning the food to poisoning the water supply. But even that failed to trap Princess Lan Yue. Instead, she discovered what was happening with the Jin Meng Empire and fled without a second thought.
