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

Lu Yinheng initially thought he was seeing things, but after hearing Xu Xi's words, he instantly realized that it wasn't that he was seeing things, but that Prince Duan really did have insects in his eyes.

Moreover, he clearly remembered that his symptoms only appeared after he saw the insect in Prince Duan's eyes.

Could it be that this disease is spread in this way?

He frowned and said, "I saw it too."

"What's going on?" Xu Xi's voice was weak. "Just now I heard Prince Duan talking about insects and witches."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, thinking of the masked woman from earlier, and exclaimed in surprise, "Could that be the witch?"

Lu Yinheng didn't see the Imperial Advisor many times in his previous life, but he had a good memory and vaguely remembered what the Imperial Advisor looked like.

Even though he was wearing a mask, he could still tell that the face bore a resemblance to the one in his memory.

He said, "That should be it."

"What is she trying to do?" Xu Xi said, "I have a feeling that Prince Duan is being controlled by her."

Not only Xu Xi had this feeling, but Lu Yinheng also had the same feeling.

Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Prince Duan's appearance just now was somewhat similar to that of Emperor Shenghui after his personality had drastically changed in his previous life...

When they first found Prince Duan, he looked... somewhat like he was briefly lucid.

Xu Xi then asked, "What does she want to do by controlling Prince Duan?"

Lu Yinheng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, it's also for the sake of conquering the world."

Xu Xi said, "The Prince of Duan has now lost even the military power in his fiefdom. What use is it for her to control him?"

Lu Yinheng reminisced about his past life.

He thought that perhaps she didn't want to act so quickly.

However, Ji Yunshuang disrupted her plans, causing the plague from her previous life to break out ahead of schedule.

But since her ultimate goal is the world, she will certainly not give up so easily.

She must have other tricks up her sleeve.

Lu Yinheng analyzed the current situation in his mind, and then put himself in the position of the shrine maiden to think about what he would do if he were her.

Although many things in this life have taken a different turn from the trajectory of her previous life, her methods should still be the same.

Lu Yinheng thought for a moment, and then he had a clue.

He didn't answer Xu Xi's question, but instead endured the weakness and discomfort in his body and struggled to stand up from the ground.

Seeing his actions, Xu Xi quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yinheng said, "I have to go to Yaoguang County."

Xu Xi was surprised that even in his condition, he still wanted to go to Yaoguang County. He asked in astonishment, "Are you sure you can walk?"

Although the medication has alleviated some of my symptoms, I still feel very uncomfortable.

Moreover, this kind of discomfort was something he had never experienced in the previous twenty years.

It could be said that his current condition is worse than the serious injuries he suffered before.

But he actually managed to stand up under those circumstances and say he wanted to go to Yaoguang County. I couldn't help but admire him.

Lu Yinheng was actually just putting on a brave face at this moment.

His lips were black, his face was pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

If it weren't for his iron will, he certainly wouldn't be able to stand here right now. He said, "Getting to Mana shouldn't be a problem."

They all came on horseback.

However, due to the terrain, horses could not easily come here, so the two hid elsewhere and came alone.

After hearing Lu Yinheng's words, Xu Xi gritted her teeth, mustered all her strength, and got up from the ground, saying, "Then I'll go with you."

Lu Yinheng didn't say much, and the two of them slowly and awkwardly made their way towards the horses.

Normally, the two of them could reach Ma Di in just a few breaths using their lightness skills.

But today, it took the two of them almost half an hour to reach the horses.

"I'm going to Yaoguang County now." Lu Yinheng meant that he was going to Yaoguang County, and he didn't care where Xu Xi went.

Given their current situation, he didn't expect him to do anything, so he didn't say anything more.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xi said, "I'll go with you."

Lu Yinheng asked, "What are you going to do with me?"

Xu Xi said, "I'll go with you. It'll be good to have someone with me on the road."

Lu Yinheng was about to refuse, but when he realized that he even had difficulty climbing onto the horse's back, he swallowed his words of refusal.

Given his current condition, he might fall off his horse halfway there.

The two mounted their horses together and set off towards Yaoguang County.

Fortunately, the horses they rode were fine steeds that Ji Yunshuang had previously kept in her space. Although they weren't like the little tiger, they were still intelligent.

When they sensed that something was wrong with their master, both horses slowed down and ran very steadily.

Otherwise, the two of them would definitely be thrown off.

While Lu Yinheng and Xu Xi were heading towards Yaoguang County, the Fu brothers also set off from Hongdu with their troops.

Fu Zhe was very dissatisfied that his father had sent both of them to Ningxing Prefecture at the same time.

On the carriage, his face was grim. He was thinking about how to steal the credit once they arrived in Ningxing Prefecture, so that his father would willingly hand over the military power of Ningxing Prefecture to him.

The servant in the carriage, seeing his gloomy face, poured him a cup of tea and whispered, "Young master, are you still angry about the Prince sending the eldest son to Ningxing Prefecture with you?"

Fu Zhe glanced at him unhappily, but did not reprimand him.

The guards outside the carriage were all his men. Moreover, his carriage was quite a distance away from Fu Ci's.

He wasn't worried that anyone would overhear what they were saying.

The servant boy, who had served him since childhood, knew him well and said, "This servant thinks this is a good opportunity."

Fu Zhe didn't speak, but gestured to him with his eyes before continuing.

The servant leaned closer to him, almost whispering, "Young master, think about it, what's there in Ningxing Prefecture? What if the eldest young master is careless..."

He spoke vaguely, and didn't finish his last sentence, but Fu Zhe understood his meaning instantly.

Ningxing Prefecture is suffering from a plague.

If Fu Ci were to accidentally contract the plague in Ningxing Prefecture... this would be a godsend.

The gloom on his face vanished instantly, and he glanced at the servant boy serving him with admiration, casually unfastening the purse from his waist and tossing it to him, saying, "Here's a reward for you."

The servant hurriedly accepted the gift with delight, then knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, young master."

Fu Zhe waved his hand dismissively and said, "Go down!"

Although their trip to Ningxing Prefecture was on official business, they were, after all, sons of a royal family traveling, so the procession was quite grand.

Fu Zhe rode alone in a large carriage, with several other carriages behind him for his servants.

The servant got off Fu Zhe's carriage and returned to the servants' carriage.

Ahead, Fu Ci complained that the carriage was too slow and hindered their journey. Not long after setting off, he led a group of people to abandon the carriage and ride horses towards Ningxing Prefecture.
