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

In this way, Fu Weiyi's last bit of doubt disappeared.

Normally, Lu Yinheng would have immediately noticed the probing in Fu Weiyi's words. But at this moment, he was worried about Ji Yunshuang's safety and didn't notice anything amiss with Fu Weiyi.

After talking with Fu Weiyi, he still decided to go out and find Ji Yunshuang himself. When Fu Weiyi learned that he was going out to find Ji Yunshuang, he followed him out of the cave.

After much preparation by Zhong Boyi and Mu Hui, Princess Chenxi finally disguised herself as the daughter of a young scholar and set off for Ningxing Prefecture.

Not long after arriving in Ningxing Prefecture, I heard some very shocking news.

"Is the news true? Did the Ji family really fall into the river and disappear?" At this moment, Princess Chenxi, dressed in plain clothes, sat in a guest room of the inn, her eyes seemingly shining, as if she was excited and nervous at the same time.

Mu Hui couldn't quite understand whether she was hoping Ji Yunshuang would die soon, or if she had some other motive.

He said, “According to the information we received from the people in Taoyuan Village, it is said that Ji and her husband left Taoyuan Village together that day. They were afraid of being discovered, so they did not dare to follow too closely. It was only later, when they learned that a landslide had occurred in the Daxiagou area, and Fu Ci led a large number of people down to the river to search for them, that they realized that Ji Yunshuang had an accident.”

"What do we do now?" Zhong Boyi asked Princess Chenxi cautiously. "Should we still follow our original plan?"

In his view, if Ji Yunshuang were dead, there would be no need for the princess to continue pretending to be the daughter of a young scholar and taking risks.

Even if Ji Yunshuang hadn't died, he still felt that Princess Chenxi didn't need to take the risk herself. Although he had already helped Princess Chenxi establish a new identity as instructed, he hadn't given up on persuading the princess to abandon this dangerous plan.

“Continue with the original plan.” Princess Chenxi seemed to have regained her composure and said, “She won’t die so easily.”

Zhong Boyi said, "Princess, you don't need to think too highly of the Ji family. No matter how powerful they are, they are still just flesh and blood."

I inquired around and heard that the gorge is extremely dangerous; even on ordinary days, falling into the river is a near-certain death, let alone this time when they encountered a landslide. In my opinion, that Lady Ji is probably already dead.”

Princess Chenxi smiled, looking at Zhong Boyi as if he were a complete fool.

"Don't think about the good thing that she's dead. Proceed according to our original plan."

Zhong Boyi didn't understand why the princess was so certain that Ji Yunshuang wouldn't die, but since the princess had given the order, he could only follow it.

The disappearances of Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng did not disrupt the normal operations of the various departments. Zhong Boyi quickly reassigned the people to different positions.

They were all minor positions, and didn't have access to important information, let alone any contact with Ji Yunshuang.

Princess Chenxi was extremely dissatisfied with the result, and looked at Zhong Boyi with a sneer, "Is this how you do things? Is this your ability?"

Zhong Boyi lowered his head and said, "Princess, originally... according to the original plan, it was supposed to allow you to get close to the Ji family. But hasn't the Ji family disappeared? Now everyone outside is saying that she has died... how can I arrange for you to be by her side?"

“This must be a message she deliberately leaked. Continue to send people to find out where she is now.”

Princess Chenxi said coldly, "If you don't handle this matter well this time, you don't need to come back."

Zhong Boyi didn't know why the princess was so sure that Ji Yunshuang was alright, but he could tell that the princess was very dissatisfied with them. If they didn't handle things well this time, she might really not use him again.

He had followed Princess Chenxi for many years, but he never expected that the princess would show him no affection whatsoever and would often scold him like a dog.

Zhong Boyi felt terrible, but he could only lower his head and reply, "Yes."

Meanwhile, Ji Yunshuang was leading her people at breakneck speed toward Jingzhou.

That same day, she had just dealt with several of Fu Weiyi's subordinates when Lu Yinheng and Fu Weiyi came looking for her.

Even though he had seen her in person, Lu Yinheng was still worried. He immediately pulled Ji Yunshuang up and down, asking with concern, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Ji Yunshuang glanced at Fu Weiyi almost imperceptibly before replying to Lu Yinheng, "I'm fine."

Seeing that her lips were a little pale, Lu Yinheng felt a pang of sadness. He said, "You two go and rest over there. I'll find the way."

Previously, rocks had rolled down the mountain, burying the road.

Even the river below the cliff had slumped with rocks and mud. And nobody knew if more rocks might roll down from above. The only option was to find another suitable path to get up.

Ji Yunshuang had just come out and was multitasking, so she had already found the right way. She said, "I have found the way up. Follow me."

As she spoke, she led the way.

While the group was searching for their way up, Fu Ci learned about the accident involving Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng.

He found out so quickly because he had only been separated from Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng for a short while when he received the message from his spies in Jingzhou.

His spies knew nothing about the situation on the Qi army's side, but they were well aware of the situation of the soldiers under King Xuan's command.

Based on the news sent back by his men, he was certain that a plague had spread to the soldiers under King Xuan's command.

There's no need to send anyone to investigate anymore; we need to send troops immediately to control the plague.

He immediately returned to find Ji Yunshuang, only to discover the landslide in Daxiagou.

He felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

But considering Ji Yunshuang's high level of skill, and the fact that she might not have just happened to encounter the landslide in Daxiagou.

Despite this thought, he was still uneasy, so he used his lightness skill to bypass the obstacle and return to Peach Blossom Village.

But once he returned to Taoyuan Village and learned from his subordinates when Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng had set off, he lost all hope.

He immediately dispatched a large number of soldiers to clear the fallen rocks.

When the soldiers dug the horse out from under the rocks, Fu Ci felt his head suddenly go blank.

In that instant, it was as if all the noise in the world had stopped.

Seeing him staring blankly at the horse, as if he had lost his soul, Tang Yiyang quickly said, "Young Master, Young Master, don't worry. Lord Ji is a lucky man, he will definitely be alright."

The remaining guards chimed in, saying, "Lord Ji is skilled in martial arts and possesses great kindness and righteousness. The Bodhisattva will surely protect her... Besides, this might not even be Lord Ji at all..."

Despite their attempts to persuade Fu Ci, the guards felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

Although the horse was badly damaged by the rocks, they could still tell from its coat and the material of the saddle that it was the horse that Ji Yunshuang had ridden.
