After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

Lin Shu felt guilty after hearing what she said and didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he simply turned around and left.

The three of them had just sat down in the courtyard when Jiang Mubai came running, drawn by the smell.

Since Lin Shu arrived at the Valley of Divine Doctors, he has basically been eating and drinking here for free every day.

"I knew coming here at this time would be the right thing to do, and I was right."

Su Qing gave her a disdainful look. "Are you a dog? You're everywhere."

"None of your business," Jiang Mubai said as he walked towards them.

As he approached, he saw Lin Shu giving Lu Zijing clothes, and his expression suddenly froze.

Seeing him staring blankly in Lin Shu's direction, Su Qing also looked over.

Just then, Lin Shu finished tidying up and Lu Zijing looked up. Seeing the two of them staring at her, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it just feels strangely familiar," Jiang Mubai said.

Su Qing, however, did not believe it.

From what I overheard in Xingtang, it wasn't hard to hear about Jiang Mubai's parents.

This scene undoubtedly provoked Jiang Mubai.

“He must have been thinking of his mother when he looked at you,” Su Qing said, thinking she knew a lot.

"Does Brother Mubai miss Mother?" Lu Zijing looked at Jiang Mubai with a completely innocent expression.

Jiang Mubai gave a wry smile. "This courtyard is where I lived when I was a child. It has been empty since my parents passed away."

“My mother used to play with me in the yard a lot, so…”

"I understand. Do you want to come over and let me hug you?" Lin Shu said, opening his arms to give him the warmth of love.

One sentence left Jiang Mubai speechless: "I'm not a child."

Lin Shu awkwardly withdrew her arm, giving him a disapproving glare. "You really don't know what's good for you. I rarely feel this surge of maternal love. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another chance."

"Alright, put away your love and hurry up and eat," Su Qing looked at Lin Shu with disdain. Don't think she didn't know Lin Shu. She wasn't overflowing with maternal love at all; she was just bored and teasing Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai agreed with this point.

During the meal, Lin Shu couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Mubai, how did your parents die? Was it Jiang Qinglang who killed them?"

Jiang Mubai paused for a moment, "He didn't kill him, but he's definitely involved."

“My father is more talented in medicine than my second uncle, so my grandfather and the others decided early on that my father would take over as the next head of the family.”

“My second uncle was very dissatisfied at the time, so he stormed out of the Valley of Divine Physicians and did many unorthodox things outside the valley.”

"My grandfather and the others had no choice but to send my father to bring my second uncle back, hoping that they could resolve their relationship privately. Who knew that this would be the last time he would ever leave."

"We didn't know that my father had an accident until my second uncle brought back the bad news."

"When my mother learned of my father's accident, she also committed suicide by poisoning herself."

Lin Shu nodded knowingly, "Then why did you go to a small town to open a clinic? Is it because Jiang Qinglang can't tolerate you?"

Jiang Mubai snapped out of his reverie and looked steadily at Lin Shu. "It was Grandpa. He was afraid that Second Uncle would hurt me, so he sent me out to gain experience. Firstly, to train me, and secondly, to find out the truth about Father's murder."

"Have you investigated this thoroughly?" Su Qing asked.

Jiang Mubai nodded. "It was Xia Kingdom's Crown Prince Mo Yunwei. He wanted my father to poison General Lu with him, but my father refused, so he killed him."

It's him again.

Lin Shu and Su Qing exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing their seriousness.

"Is your relationship with your second uncle because your second uncle is related to Mo Yunwei?" Lin Shu asked solemnly.

Jiang Mubai nodded.

Compared to this drama of family feuds and brothers killing each other, the love between Jiang Mubai's parents is so precious.

To be together through life and death—what a pure love.

When love was mentioned, Lin Shu suddenly had a handsome face appear on his mind. He wondered how Lu Shiyuan and the others were doing in Xia Country.

At this moment, Lu Shiyuan and the others were also feeling rather unwell.

With Yuan Bingxuan's help, Mo Yunwei was like a cunning fox; no matter what they did, they couldn't find him.

Instead, they were besieged and attacked by Mo Yunwei multiple times, and everyone was seriously injured, but it was not entirely without progress.

At least they found out the situation in the capital.

Ye Xiang looked at his injured brother with great concern, "I wonder how the general is doing now. If the madam finds out that something happened to him, will she come and blow up the palace?"

This brought up concerns among others as well.

They had witnessed Lin Shu killing and saving people, and although he always appeared nonchalant, it was enough for them to see Lin Shu's madness.

"I just hope the general is alright, so that the lady won't blow up the palace."

At this moment, after Yuan Bingxuan learned of his whereabouts, Lu Shiyuan decided to change his strategy.

They found Huang, a doctor they knew from before.

Compared to Physician Huang's medical skills, what impressed him even more was Physician Huang's disguise skills.

In order to cover his tracks and deceive everyone, Lu Shiyuan had no choice but to take a risk.

"Young Marquis, are you really planning to do this? Do you know that if you are exposed, it will be like a lamb being led to the slaughter?"

"The palace is now full of the Crown Prince's people, unlike before," Physician Huang said earnestly.

Lu Shiyuan remained unmoved, saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. More than half of the brothers I brought have been lost. If this continues, we will be wiped out."

"Besides, your lives in the palace aren't easy either, so we might as well get rid of him completely."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Physician Huang had no choice but to do as he was told.

After meticulous crafting, Lu Shiyuan in the mirror has transformed into a man with an unfamiliar face and a completely different temperament; only his deep eyes still gleam with an indomitable light.

"Young Marquis, please be careful on your journey. I have arranged several hidden hiding places in the palace in case of emergency," Physician Huang whispered, handing over a delicate little bottle containing a drug that could temporarily change one's voice. "After taking this medicine, your voice will also change, but remember not to use it too much, lest it damage your health."

Lu Shiyuan took the small bottle and nodded.

In the dead of night, Lu Shiyuan changed into his night clothes and, under the cover of moonlight, silently sneaked into the heavily guarded palace.

Using the information provided by Physician Huang, he cleverly avoided the patrolling guards and gradually approached the Crown Prince's palace.

However, the situation inside the palace was far more complicated than he had imagined.

The crown prince once again left the palace as if he had foreseen the future.

Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan followed the clues and found the Emperor.

When he saw the emperor, who was utterly dejected, in the Qiankun Palace, Lu Shiyuan felt a pang of sorrow.

The person who used to be so radiant has now lost his glow.

Lu Shiyuan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and stood up before the Emperor, kneeling down. "Your Majesty, I, Lu Shiyuan, am late in coming to Your Majesty's aid. Please forgive me."
