The old Taoist priest should be the guest of Marquis Wu'an, the one who has been hidden in Marquis Wu'an's yard.

While thinking about this, Li Mofu pinched the emerald green bead. It was hard and it hurt his fingers when he pinched it hard. The pain told Li Mofu that he was not dreaming.

Then it is true that the Marquis' Mansion will face disaster next. If the new emperor takes advantage of the absence of the Lu family father and son to attack the Marquis' Mansion, then they will also die when the border is pacified.

But Li Mofu couldn't understand why the new emperor was still obsessed with "medicinal herbs" now that the ghost immortals had been captured. Was he planning to eat them raw?

......Anyway, since he has chosen not to leave, we must be prepared to face the challenge.

Thinking this way, Li Mofu stood up and began to search the room. Seeing that he was not sleeping, the two cats jumped down to join in the fun. Li Mofu looked down on them and continued to search. After searching for a few minutes, Li Mofu found a small treasure bag. He put the green ball in it and planned to carry it with him from now on.

The next morning, Li Mofu got up early, even though he hadn't slept much. He and Lu Mingyun had breakfast, then started to work around the house. First, he made leashes for Daju and Xiaoque, then prepared a mat, and finally, started running. Escaping was hard work, especially with two fat cats.

In the afternoon, when Li Mofu saw Lu Mingyun coming back, he asked him to call Wang Ruiyan and Lu Fengning to talk together, and then told them about the Taoist priest's visit last night. However, Li Mofu did not mention the matter of the transformation beads, and told them everything else.

Although the old Taoist priest didn't say that he couldn't tell others about the Transformation Pearl, Li Mofu subconsciously decided not to tell anyone. It wasn't that Li Mofu didn't trust them, but some things were better known by fewer people.

Everyone's expressions were heavy after learning about this. In the end, the Lu brothers went to find Marquis Wu'an together, while Wang Ruiyan sat next to Li Mofu, holding her stomach and staring blankly.

Li Mofu saw this and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?"

Wang Ruiyan came back to her senses. She first looked at Li Mofu, then shook her head gently. After a long while, she said, "Do you know why I'm suddenly so scared?"

"......Why? Is it because you are pregnant?" Li Mofu said.

Wang Ruiyan smiled wryly and nodded. "Actually, before I came to this world, I liked to audit history classes. I remember a passage that always left a deep impression on me."

"The teacher said that when many powerful families were fleeing from war or persecution, they would leave their women who couldn't ride in cars, were pregnant, or were about to get sick in villages along the way. They would send them there to families who needed wives or those who didn't have wives."

"This phenomenon existed not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. So if you want to understand more, go to the countryside and look for it. Many people's grandmothers were ladies from wealthy families, but were abandoned by their families and married off to random people in the village."

"I didn't quite believe it at the time, until my friend was looking through an old photo album and saw a family photo of her childhood. In that photo was a grandmother with an outstanding temperament. She took the photo and told me that her great-grandmother was just like what the teacher said. Her family fled the disaster and passed by their village and took her in."

Wang Ruiyan pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid that I will be left behind by then."

Li Mofu comforted him, "How could that be? By then, we will be surrounded by people we can trust, and they will not abandon you."

"Um......"

That day, Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning had dinner in the courtyard of Marquis Wu'an. Li Mofu ate first and waited for a long time before Lu Mingyun came back.

"What did you talk about?" Li Mofu immediately leaned over and asked.

Lu Mingyun felt a headache and pressed his temples before lying down on Li Mofu's chaise longue. "Father didn't admit that he was hiding a Taoist priest. Instead, he kept us talking about the border situation for the entire afternoon. It wasn't until dinner that he told us that he and the Second Prince had an agreement. Our Lu family will go northwest first, and the Second Prince will stay in the capital for an extra month. During this month, he won't let His Majesty attack the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and will even send troops to escort you out of the capital."

Li Mofu took a small stool and sat down next to Lu Mingyun, like a footstool. "Is this true? Aren't the Second Prince and the new emperor in cahoots? Why did he suddenly agree to the Marquis of Wu'an's conditions? Has his conscience become clear?"

Lu Mingyun thought for a moment and said, "The Second Prince has always looked down on witchcraft. Now that the matter has been settled, the Second Prince thinks Your Majesty should let it go. Besides, the most important thing now is the war situation on the border."

"The new emperor must hate the Second Prince to death for doing this? Isn't the new emperor afraid that the Second Prince will rebel?" Li Mofu didn't think Zhao Yun was a broad-minded guy.

"The army has to be led by someone, either this person or that person. Whoever leads the army will sound more assertive when speaking to Your Majesty. In that case, it's better to let your brother take charge. At least Your Majesty trusts the Second Prince." Lu Mingyun said, "And if the Second Prince wanted to fight for the throne, he would have taken advantage of the ministers' dissatisfaction with Your Majesty to force the emperor to abdicate."

Li Mofu pursed his lips, "Can the Second Prince be trusted? Don't kill us all on the way."

"...At least the Second Prince has always had a good reputation, so father doesn't have too many concerns about this." Lu Mingyun sat up and said, but if you say that you trust the Second Prince 100%, he still can't do it.

But there is no other way now. I can't really take Li Mofu and Wang Ruiyan to the battlefield. That would be no different from committing suicide. If the war really breaks out, no one will be able to take care of anyone else.

"What do you think? Should we give the seeds to the new emperor?" Li Mofu suddenly said, so that the new emperor would not have to worry about "medicinal materials" all the time.

"No!" Lu Mingyun denied it without even thinking.
