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

Zhong Boyi disagreed with Mu Hui's words, believing that anyone who went to the Ji family would attract attention, whether they were the daughter of a high-ranking official or a minor scholar.

Given a princess's demeanor, it would be more suitable for her to impersonate the daughter of a high-ranking official. If she were to impersonate the daughter of a lowly scholar, her bearing wouldn't be right, and Ji Yunshuang would likely recognize her as soon as she got close.

At that point, not only will it be difficult to carry out any actions, but the princess's own safety will also be hard to guarantee.

Mu Hui, however, felt that the identity of being the daughter of a high-ranking official was too conspicuous and would easily arouse Ji Yunshuang's suspicion.

She's not even as good as the daughter of a minor scholar.

As for the princess's temperament not matching that of a scholar's daughter, then let the princess practice more first.

The two engaged in a heated discussion about what identity the princess should actually assume.

Princess Chenxi, unusually patient, did not get angry because of the two's verbal argument.

Instead, she listened attentively to what the two of them had to say.

Finally, she decided to listen to Mu Hui and disguise herself as the daughter of a young scholar. Before going to Ningxing Prefecture, she would make a point of setting aside time to learn how the daughter of a scholar behaved.

Zhong Boyi and Mu Hui also decided to go to Taoyuan Village as a down-on-his-luck scholar and a merchant, respectively, both to find a way to get close to Ji Yunshuang and to protect Princess Chenxi.

Princess Chenxi only decided that this time, she had to approach Ji Yunshuang herself, but she did not object to others acting with her.

After noticing the princess's attitude, Mu Hui selected some more people, assigned them different identities, and sent them to travel with her.

After the heavy rain, a chill crept into the air.

Looking at the trees, even more verdant after the rain, Ji Yunshuang unconsciously smiled. Summer was almost over; before she knew it, almost a year had passed since she transmigrated to this world.

These trees are still trees, and you can breathe the air here freely!

That's wonderful, she saved the world.

Fu Ci walked over at some point and stood beside her, looking at the tall tree in the distance with her.

He had long noticed that his junior colleague displayed maturity and great wisdom in everything she did. Yet, in her daily life, she was like a child—simple and adorable.

She seems to have an unparalleled love for plants.

When rebuilding Taoyuan Village, she asked the designers to preserve as many ancient trees as possible. In her spare time, she often stares at the plants in a certain place, just like she is doing now.

However, after looking at it for a long time, he still felt that it was just an ordinary big tree, nothing special, and he didn't understand why his junior sister could look at it for so long.

Therefore, he asked the question that had been on his mind, "Junior Sister, is there anything different about this tree?"

Ji Yunshuang withdrew her gaze and looked at him. "There's no difference."

"Then why have you been staring at it for so long?" Fu Ci was even more puzzled.

"You... you stood with me for so long just to ask this?" Ji Yunshuang was speechless, not expecting him to be so bored.

Fu Ci smiled at her speechless expression. "Of course not, but before we talk about official business, I'd like to ask my junior sister to answer this question first."

Ji Yunshuang likes to look at plants because she has experienced loss and knows how rare it is to have a completely unpolluted environment.

However, she didn't want to explain these things to Fu Ci.

She smiled and casually said, "Because looking at green is good for the eyes."

Fu Ci asked, puzzled, "Why is looking at green things good for the eyes?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Have you recently found that you need to get closer to the book to see the words clearly?"

In fact, many people in this era have poor eyesight.

Many common people suffered from malnutrition and had difficulty seeing in the dark. Meanwhile, many scholars and intellectuals were nearsighted. This was because many scholars also enjoyed reading at night, and at that time, people primarily used oil lamps or similar tools for illumination.

These types of tools often have the problem of being too dimly lit.

Fu Ci is extremely diligent in both his studies and official duties. Recently, probably due to the heavy workload and the fact that he often reads by candlelight at night, his nearsightedness has clearly worsened.

Of course, Fu Ci himself didn't know that his problem was nearsightedness. He just thought his eye condition had worsened and even went to see a doctor, but unfortunately, the doctor was also helpless...

Hearing Ji Yunshuang mention it, he was full of surprise and said, "Junior Sister knows how to treat eye diseases?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "I know a little!"

Fu Ci stepped forward excitedly, "Then how will you treat my eye disease, Junior Sister?"

Seeing his expectant eyes, Ji Yunshuang decided to teach him a set of eye exercises.

When Lu Yinheng arrived, he saw the two of them standing very close together, making strange gestures with their hands. He didn't know what Fu Ci said, but Ji Yunshuang suddenly burst out laughing.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang smile at Fu Ci, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if his heart was filled with cotton. He strode forward, bowed to Fu Ci, and then, as if casually, asked Ji Yunshuang, "What new move were you using just now?"

Ji Yunshuang didn't think much of it and laughed, "There are no new moves. My third senior brother just said that his eyesight is not good, so I taught him a set of eye exercises."

Lu Yinheng didn't know what was wrong with him, but for some reason he found the words "Third Senior Brother" extremely grating. He also found Fu Ci particularly displeasing.

He wasn't this approachable in his past life.

Is it because Ji Yunshuang is his junior sister that she treats him differently?

Similarly, Fu Ci also found Lu Yinheng particularly displeasing at this moment.

My junior sister is excellent in every other way, except for her terrible taste in men. How did she end up marrying such an ordinary, good-for-nothing pretty boy?

She even had his child!

He's no match for my junior sister.

Facing Fu Ci's critical and dissatisfied gaze, Lu Yinheng felt so sour he felt like he was pickling himself.

It turned out he wasn't overthinking things.

He was interested in Shuangshuang, but he pretended to be a gentleman every day, using the pretense of a senior brother caring for his junior sister, and tried to find ways to spend time with Shuangshuang.

Ji Yunshuang was unaware of the inner thoughts of the two men.

She looked at Lu Yinheng and asked, "How is it? Has there been any progress?"

In addition to rebuilding Ningcheng and Taoyuan Village, she was also vigorously developing the military.

Having King Xuan hold off the Qi army is not a long-term solution.

Ultimately, they still had to use force to drive out the Qi army and unify the country...

Besides training troops, the focus is on increasing the research and development of weapons.

Getting down to business, Lu Yinheng put aside his chaotic thoughts and said, "There's no new progress on the weapon yet. I came here this time because of something else."

As he spoke, he glanced at Fu Ci without realizing it. "I just received news that the epidemic has very likely spread to the Qi army and King Xuan's army."

Ji Yunshuang and Fu Ci's expressions both changed.

Fu Ci asked, "Where did you get this information? Is it accurate?"
