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

After a period of turmoil, the Su family mansion gradually fell into silence.

Ji Yunshuang did not immediately leave the space; she felt that An Yi would return.

She sensed the underground structure through her telekinesis.

She knew that behind the Su family's secret room was another secret passage. To open the secret passage, a mechanism was also needed.

Previously, An Yi had not discovered the secret passage.

However, she thought that An Yi would soon realize the strangeness of the matter and come back to search for it.

After all, the Su residence is quite a distance from the Prince's residence. Even if Su Muchen is the commander of the military command, it would not be easy for him to bring Han and Xu to the secret room of the Su residence without alerting anyone.

Once he realizes what's happening, he'll definitely come back to search the Su residence again.

Just as she had guessed, An Yi returned with his men late at night.

After searching the Su residence repeatedly with his men, he finally found the mechanism to open the secret passage.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing secret passage, the soldiers conducting the search all showed expressions of shock.

"When...when did Commander Su build the secret passage?"

"As far as I know, this house was bestowed upon Commander Su by the Prince, right? After Commander Su moved in, it seems he didn't renovate the house. How did he manage to build this secret passage?"

……

Everyone was puzzled, finding it unbelievable that there was a secret passage beneath the Su residence.

Unlike these uninformed soldiers, Li Zhao knew far more of the secrets. He thought of the many green hats (cuckolded harems) on his own lord's head...

Even though he didn't like gossip, he couldn't help but wonder if Su Muchen was the adulterer of both the Han and Xu families.

Why were only the Han family found this time? What about the Xu family? And where did the hidden guards that Han Dian and the others were watching hide?

He frowned, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and ordered his men to enter the secret passage to investigate where it led.

After hearing his instructions, everyone immediately sprang into action.

Li Zhao followed them into the secret passage, carrying a torch and walking at the back of the group. He would occasionally raise the torch and survey the surrounding passageway.

He was already walking at the back, and he kept stopping to look at the secret passage, so he unknowingly fell behind.

Hiding in the space, Ji Yunshuang, who had been looking for an opportunity, finally found one.

Because of the strange insects from before, she did not directly move the person into the space.

Instead, he took a tranquilizer gun, appeared silently behind him, and shot him dead.

After checking him over and confirming that he was not infected by insects, he was temporarily placed in the space.

The whole process was quick, and the people in front did not notice that Li Zhao had not followed.

They walked along the secret passage until they reached the end, where they found a mechanism, just like when they entered the passage.

Only then did someone notice that Li Zhao was not behind them, and asked, "Where is Lord Li?"

No one knew where Li Zhao had gone, and some people couldn't help but worry, "Could something have happened to him?"

No sooner had these words been spoken than someone retorted, "With such high-level martial arts skills, how could anything happen to you, sir?"

These words made sense to the few who had initially been worried. Li Zhao was the most skilled among the secret guards; they all knew just how formidable he was.

If someone really wants to harm them, then no one can escape.

With that thought in mind, everyone's attention returned to the secret passage.

The mechanism that led to the secret passage was found and opened by Li Zhao. Everyone had seen how Li Zhao opened the mechanism before, and since Li Zhao wasn't here, they imitated him and opened the mechanism of the secret passage themselves.

As soon as they emerged from the secret passage, they were surrounded by a group of guards. The head guard shouted, "Who goes there?"

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! We're all on the same side."

Everyone hurriedly covered their heads and explained, "We were with Lord Li when we discovered the secret passage at Commander Su's house. We originally wanted to find out where the secret passage led, but we didn't expect it to lead to the Prince's mansion."

Too many things have happened in the last few days, and everyone in the Prince's mansion is on high alert. This is a major matter, and the head guard dares not make a decision lightly.

He ordered the remaining guards to continue surrounding the soldiers who emerged from the secret passage with their swords, while he went to report to Prince Duan.

In a side hall, Rui Bingtian was treating Prince Duan's headache.

My headache seems to be more stubborn than usual today. Usually, a few acupuncture treatments from Rui Bingtian would relieve the headache.

Today, he not only received acupuncture but also took medicine, yet his headache did not improve at all.

Prince Duan's temper became increasingly volatile, and he kept scolding Rui Bingtian, cursing him as a quack doctor and saying he wanted to drag him away and behead him.

The head guard reluctantly went inside and reported what had happened.

Upon hearing the head guard's words, Prince Duan became even more enraged and instantly sat up from his couch.

Rui Bingtian, sweating profusely, repeatedly urged, "Your Highness, you mustn't! You have needles in your head; you can't move around carelessly. You must calm down—"

Before he could finish speaking, Prince Duan impatiently interrupted him, "Why aren't you pulling the needle out of my head? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Rui Bingtian wanted to say that the needles couldn't be removed yet, but faced with the fierce look in Duan Wang's eyes, he could only helplessly obey and remove the needles from his head.

Prince Duan, sword in hand, went with the head guard to the entrance of the secret passage.

Looking at the location of the secret passage entrance, his anger reached its peak, but with his rage, his headache also reached an unprecedented level.

Before he could even utter his angry shout, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty!"

In the Prince's mansion, chaos erupted as people and horses fell to the ground.

After finally getting Prince Duan back to the side hall, Rui Bingtian hurriedly brought his medicine box to treat him.

"Dr. Rui, what exactly happened? Why did the Prince faint again?"

After Han was sent back to the Prince's Palace, Prince Duan immediately imprisoned her in the dungeon and ordered the guards to watch over her every hour of the day.

The nominal princess is imprisoned in the dungeon, and now that Prince Duan has fainted, all the important and minor affairs of the palace have fallen on the shoulders of the chief eunuch, Liu Yongfu.

At this moment, he said with a hint of reproach in his eyes, "If you can't cure the prince's illness, just tell the truth. Don't try to be a hero."

Rui Bingtian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully, "I believe that Your Highness's headache is caused by worms in your head... Recently, the worms have been growing larger, and coupled with Your Highness's emotional agitation, they have been constantly agitating the worms, which has caused Your Highness's health to deteriorate further."

"Absurd!" Liu Yongfu said, "Everything the prince eats, wears, and uses has undergone dozens of checks to ensure its safety before being given to him. How could worms possibly grow in the prince's head?"
