My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ningcheng, Prince Duan's Mansion.

Just as Rui Bingtian removed the needles from Prince Duan's head, an aide rushed over and said, "Your Highness, something may have happened at the military camp."

Prince Duan slowly opened his eyes, gestured for Rui Bingtian to leave, and then asked, "What happened?"

"After Captain Han led his men to Jiangzhou disguised as a merchant caravan, they disappeared without a trace. Now Captain Xu has returned with his soldiers and the livestock they purchased. But Captain Han's men have completely vanished without a trace."

Listening to his advisors' report, Prince Duan felt his headache, which had just subsided, begin to throb again.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Contact our informant in Jiangzhou and see if he's made any contact with Prince Rui. Also, have the people watching the Han family keep a close eye on them."

"Does Your Highness mean that he led his men in a rebellion?"

In the past, Prince Duan would not have suspected the Han family, but now, even the children he raised for so many years are not his.

Who else would never betray him?

"They don't just disappear for no reason."

Han Zhengping, who was suspected of betraying the Prince of Duan, was going crazy.

These days, he tried every method he could think of, but no matter what, they were trapped in the same place and couldn't get out.

Moreover, if they don't work, they won't have anything to eat. They can only bury themselves in hard work, constantly toiling in the fields.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Heroine, we know we were wrong. Please, please break the formation and let us go! We will listen to you from now on. We will do whatever you ask, just please let us leave this place."

Ji Yunshuang could control the entire space with her mind. If she wanted to monitor the movements of the people inside, she didn't even need to enter the space; she could observe their every move.

However, Ji Yunshuang sometimes didn't want to be distracted by the noises in the space, so she would block out the sounds in the space.

She blocked out all other sounds while she was performing the surgery, completely immersing herself in the procedure.

Now that the surgery is over, she has also unblocked herself.

She grabbed herself a cup of milk tea and decided to relax in the orchard.

She had just arrived at the orchard with the milk tea when she heard Han Zhengping pleading.

After finishing her milk tea, Ji Yunshuang picked a few strawberries and walked over to where Han Zhengping and the others were.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, Han Zhengping and the others were extremely excited and once again tried their best to demonstrate their loyalty.

Ji Yunshuang leisurely ate strawberries, looked everyone over and said, "Then tell us your names and family situations first!"

Han Zhengping hesitated for a moment, then said, "My name is Han Zhengping. My elder sister is the principal wife of Prince Duan. If you release me, I will have my elder sister speak on your behalf to Prince Duan and get him to give you an important position. How about that?"

Ji Yunshuang smiled and said, "So you're from the Han family! But since you've been trapped in this illusion array, you probably don't know what's going on outside."

"Your elder sister's scandalous affair has been exposed, and Prince Duan is searching the entire city for her! Your Han family is barely able to protect itself now, how can you expect me to have a bright future?"

Her words immediately caused an uproar in the room.

The reason why the soldiers present chose to follow Han Zhengping without hesitation was largely because of the Han family behind him.

But what if something happens to the Han family...

Han Zhengping angrily retorted, "Impossible! What shameful things could my elder sister have done? Don't spread rumors!"

Ji Yunshuang chuckled, "You're trapped in my formation now. I can make you live or die as I please. Why would I need to lie to you?"

The soldiers all agreed with what she said.

After all, they had been trapped in this formation for far too long, and they had no way of escaping.

She really had no reason to lie to them.

Han Zhengping also realized this, and his expression immediately changed.

Looking at his pale face, Ji Yunshuang continued, "If you were smart, you should have tried to persuade me to accept you, instead of trying to convince me to pledge allegiance to Prince Duan like your Han family."

"Your elder sister has committed a serious offense; she has contaminated the royal bloodline. Forget about giving your Han family any important positions; you'll likely be purged by Prince Duan very soon."

Han Zhengping exclaimed in astonishment, "What did you say? Confuse the royal bloodline? No..."

He wanted to say it was impossible; his elder sister would never do such a thing. But then he remembered what he had accidentally witnessed that year, and he kept quiet.

Seeing his reaction, Ji Yunshuang became somewhat interested. She smiled and said, "Judging from your expression, you also know that your elder sister committed adultery with another man and gave birth to his child, claiming it as Prince Duan's bloodline in order to compete for favor and consolidate her position."

Han Zhengping said, "That's not true. Don't talk nonsense. Let me out."

However, the soldiers no longer believed him. Some of the more astute ones seized the opportunity to pledge their loyalty to Ji Yunshuang, promising to serve her at her beck and call from now on.

Ji Yunshuang casually broke off two tree branches, took one for herself, and tossed the other to the soldier, saying, "If you can last thirty moves against me, I'll take you under my wing."

The soldier felt that Ji Yunshuang was underestimating him. How could he not even last thirty moves against her?

He immediately picked up a tree branch and attacked Ji Yunshuang, but unexpectedly, he couldn't even withstand one move from Ji Yunshuang, let alone thirty.

"Does anyone want to give it a try?" Ji Yunshuang smiled at the crowd and said, "As long as you can last thirty moves against me, I will take you in and let you out of the illusion array."

The soldiers were eager to challenge Ji Yunshuang, but without exception, they were all utterly defeated by her.

Ji Yunshuang said, "You are too weak. Taking you in will only hold me back. Let's wait until you are stronger!"

From the crowd, a soldier said, "If we can withstand thirty moves from you, will you really let us go?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "You didn't finish your sentence. You are pledging allegiance to me and will obey my orders from now on. I will only release someone from the illusion array if they have been through thirty moves with me."

"We are all loyal to you and will obey your orders from now on," the soldiers said in unison.

"You need to practice your kung fu, but you still need to farm the land," Ji Yunshuang reminded them. "If the land isn't finished being farmed, your daily rations won't be distributed."

One soldier said, "But aren't all those grains fake? Why make us waste our time?"

Because Han Zhengping kept telling the soldiers that this must be related to some kind of formation.

Therefore, they always felt that the crops they planted seemed to grow quickly, and that various crops from different seasons planted together also grew very well, and so on. They believed that all of this was due to the influence of the formation, which had caused their nerves to become disordered, and that none of this was real.

Therefore, they could not understand why Ji Yunshuang insisted that they farm.

Of course, Ji Yunshuang wouldn't tell them that what came out of there was all genuine grain.

She said, "This is also part of the training; didn't you notice?"
