Playing this mother-son relationship well is not a one-sided task.

Besides treating Qi Yue and Yan Cui as if it were real and fully immersing herself in the role, she also had to treat them like her own children, acting like a mother when interacting with them.

Only by doing this first can she reduce the psychological pressure on the two of them, allowing them to naturally immerse themselves in the situation.

Hearing Ji Yunshuang's gentle words and feeling her tender touch, Qi Yue felt a strange sensation welling up inside him. It really felt like his mother was stroking his head.

He slowly melted the sugar in his mouth with his saliva.

The sweet taste melts in your mouth.

It was a sweetness he had never tasted before.

It all feels like a dream.

He thought to himself, "I'll just treat all of this as a dream. I have a mother now, and I'll be a child who is loved by others."

He was no longer a child without a mother, someone anyone could bully.

"mother!"

Qi Yue didn't know why, but his cry of "Mother" inexplicably carried a hint of grievance. It was as if he were a child abandoned by his mother, who had finally been found and brought back.

He, who was not usually prone to crying, suddenly had tears welling up in his eyes.

Ji Yunshuang reached out and pulled him into her arms, gently patting his back and saying, "Don't cry. From now on, your mother will never let you suffer again."

Qi Yue buried his head in her arms, smelling her faint fragrance, and felt inexplicably at peace.

Qi Yue quickly got into the zone, and now it was Yan Cui's turn.

Yan Cui wasn't a real child after all, and she had undergone various trainings before. In the past, she often played different roles in order to gather information for her master.

She couldn't be as genuinely emotional as Qi Yue, but fortunately, she was a good actress. Her acting was quite convincing; people who weren't very familiar with her couldn't tell anything was wrong.

The unique way Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yanqi, siblings, interact is unknown to outsiders except for their family.

Ji Yunshuang felt that the problem shouldn't be too serious.

She still trusted the Lu family.

And so, Qi Yue and Yan Cui settled down in the Prince's mansion.

On the surface, the Prince's mansion did not have many guards, but in the courtyard where Qi Yue and Yan Cui lived, highly skilled secret guards were secretly arranged.

The arrangement of Qi Yue and Yan Cui to live in the Prince's Mansion was done very discreetly, and outsiders had no idea that two children were being raised in the mansion.

Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng continued to be busy with official duties every day.

Because they arrived too late, the plague had already spread from Jingyang City. In addition to treating the plague in Jingyang City, they also had to investigate the surrounding areas.

In addition, there were major disasters caused by torrential rains.

And to guard against the Qi army.

However, the Qi army has remained inactive these days. Ji Yunshuang guessed that the Qi army's situation was probably not optimistic either.

It has to be said that she was right about that.

Not only the soldiers under King Xuan, but a large portion of them were infected with the plague and lost their ability to fight.

The soldiers of the Qi army also contracted the plague.

General Yao did not expect that after capturing several cities from the Zhou Kingdom and temporarily resolving the food crisis, his soldiers would be infected with a large number of plagues.

The accompanying military doctors were helpless against the plague and could only watch as more and more soldiers contracted the disease and completely lost their ability to fight.

General Yao was so anxious that he developed mouth ulcers and pulled out clumps of hair. He angrily asked, "What's going on? We've tried everything, why can't we control the plague?"

In recent days, in order to control the spread of the plague, the Qi army first moved the soldiers infected with the plague to other places, and then checked the food and water sources.

They tried every possible solution.

But for some reason, the plague continued to spread among the soldiers.

Now, many generals have contracted the disease and are lying on the ground vomiting and having diarrhea.

If the enemy were to arrive at this moment, taking their heads would be a piece of cake. General Yao was extremely anxious.

They were afraid of losing the battle, and also worried about contracting the plague.

Recently, everyone in the Qi army camp has been living in fear. As for why the plague is still out of control, no one can answer that question.

Just then, Cai Junshi rushed in from outside and said, "General, we previously discovered that Xuan Wang's troops were also infected with the plague. However, there seems to be a change on Xuan Wang's side recently. I suspect that they have found a cure for the plague."

General Yao asked urgently, "What method?"

"General, do you still remember the information we gathered before?" Cai Junshi said, "There was also a plague outbreak in Ningxing Prefecture. We thought that Ningxing Prefecture might be abandoned, or that our troops might be reduced by half."

They had initially thought that if Ningxing Prefecture's military strength was halved due to the plague, it would be easier for them to take over the entire Great Zhou.

Unexpectedly, the plague was brought under control.

The scenario they anticipated did not occur.

It was during this time that Ji Yunshuang caught their attention. They heard many stories about Ji Yunshuang.

This woman has completely shattered their stereotypes about women.

"Did this plague in Jingzhou originate from Ningxingzhou?" When the soldiers in the Qi army camp showed symptoms of the plague and were eventually diagnosed with it, General Yao suspected that they might have also been infected by the plague in Ningxingzhou.

"It should be so," said Cai Junshi. "I've heard that the illness among the soldiers in Jingyang City and under Prince Xuan has been brought under control. This medicine was brought by the Ji family. Now that Prince Xuan is dead, the Ji family has taken over all the troops he left behind."

Upon hearing that Ji Yunshuang possessed medicine to treat the plague, General Yao frowned immediately.

King Xuan is not a very capable person. Obviously, dealing with King Xuan is easier than dealing with Ji Yunshuang.

Now that Xuan Wang's forces have been taken over by Ji Yunshuang, they will be facing Ji Yunshuang next.

What's even more troublesome is that Zhou Jun's plague problem has been solved and the soldiers have all been cured? But their soldiers are still plagued by the plague. If they fight against them, won't they be doomed to lose?

Everyone had thought of this problem, and they all had worried expressions on their faces.

Compared to the generals' deep anxiety, Cai Junshi was more optimistic. He said, "General, as long as we have medicine to cure the plague, things will be much easier."

We must immediately send men to Jingyang City to capture Lady Ji. Once we bring her back, our soldiers will be saved.”

Strategist Jia said, "According to the information that came back earlier, this woman, Ji, is no ordinary woman. It will probably not be easy to capture her."

Now that many of their skilled generals and soldiers have fallen, how can they capture Ji Yunshuang?

But if they don't find a solution, this plague alone could kill half of their soldiers.

By then, the Qi army will not only suffer heavy losses, but they will also lose the battle they initiated.

After pondering for a moment, General Yao said, "I will personally go to capture the Ji family this time."
