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

Princess Chenxi said in a warm tone, "Sir, you don't need to worry about my status. Everything is for the sake of the Great Zhou."

"Let's do as you say, sir. Pretend to be the legitimate daughter of King Xuan! Arrange it as soon as possible. Get rid of King Xuan's real legitimate daughter quietly and discreetly as soon as possible, to avoid being exposed later."

Zhong Boyi hurriedly replied, "Princess, rest assured, I will make the arrangements immediately and will certainly get things done."

Princess Chenxi nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, instructed, "Also, arrange for several more groups of troops to enter Jingyang City at the same time."

Zhong Boyi looked puzzled and asked, "Does the princess mean... to arrange for more people to confuse the situation?"

Princess Chenxi said, "Yes! That's exactly what I mean. Send more people of different identities to Jingyang City. Also, send some people to get close to the Ji family, using different identities."

Zhong Boyi feigned a troubled expression and said, "Why is the princess suddenly so cautious? We haven't brought many people with us this time, and it might be difficult to arrange multiple groups of people to go to Jingyang City at the same time."

Princess Chenxi said, "It doesn't have to be all scheduled at one time. We can arrange it in several batches. As for me, it's okay if I enter Jingyang City a little later."

Zhong Boyi was puzzled, wondering why she had suddenly changed from her previous impatient demeanor to become suspicious.

He suppressed his doubts and nodded in agreement, saying, "The princess is right! We should be more cautious. I will make the arrangements immediately."

Just as Zhong Boyi was about to leave, Princess Chenxi said again, "Let Mu Hui go with you!"

Zhong Boyi was sweating profusely.

Since that day when Mu Hui boarded the princess's carriage in front of all the guards, he has rarely appeared in front of others.

During his visit to Jingzhou, he was also in the carriage with the princess.

The guards thought he was trying to compete with the prince consort for the princess's favor, so they spent all their time serving her in the princess's carriage.

Some of the guards were very disappointed, never expecting Mu Hui to be this kind of person, and felt that they had misjudged him before.

Some guards felt that everyone wants to climb the social ladder. Although Commander Mu's actions were somewhat undignified, they were understandable. If he could truly serve the princess well, he could use her connections to get promoted and change his social standing—that would be a wonderful thing.

Anyway, he's a man, so he won't suffer any loss.

Some people even secretly felt a little envious.

Who wouldn't want to have a feast for the eyes and also get promoted and make a fortune?

Regardless of what everyone thought, they acted as if they hadn't seen the incident and diligently performed their duties every day.

As for Zhong Boyi and Chi Xiao, both suspected that Mu Hui's body had been possessed by insects. They wanted to prevent the person who possessed Princess Chenxi's body from suspecting them.

Both of them have been doing their jobs dutifully these days, never trying to find out the truth.

Zhong Boyi always thought he had done a good job of pretending and hadn't given himself away anywhere.

What's going on with Princess Chenxi? Why did she suddenly ask Mu Hui to go with her on business? Does she suspect him? Or what?

Zhong Boyi broke out in a cold sweat, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "With Commander Mu here, things will definitely be more efficient. The princess is very thoughtful."

Princess Chenxi looked at him quietly, and after a long while, she called Mu Hui out.

Zhong Boyi tried hard to suppress his curiosity and, in front of Princess Chenxi, told Mu Hui about his next plans.

Seeing that his behavior was the same as before, Princess Chenxi's unease lessened slightly.

Originally, she believed that everything was under her control.

But just now, a strange unease rose in her heart. She then thought of the trap Ji Yunshuang had set, luring her in and nearly causing her to lose her body.

Although it was just losing another body, her cultivation technique was not yet complete, and frequently changing bodies would not do her any good.

If the Ji family hadn't destroyed her original body and severely damaged the sacred insect, she wouldn't be in this state now...

Considering the Ji family's deep scheming nature, and their ability to set a trap last time, the information they received this time might not necessarily be true.

This might be yet another new trap.

She likes this body quite a bit for now, so she has to be more cautious.

Zhong Boyi had no idea what Princess Chenxi was thinking.

However, Princess Chenxi's sudden request for Mu Hui to accompany him on an errand completely disrupted his previous plans.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to secretly meet Ji Yunshuang.

But now, Mu Hui stood beside him. Although outwardly Mu Hui seemed no different from before, he still felt a chill run down his spine, as if Princess Chenxi had sent him to spy on him.

He didn't even dare to show the slightest fear in his heart. He had a strange feeling that if he showed even the slightest sign, Princess Chenxi would notice.

He could only interact with Mu Hui cautiously, trying his best to act the way he used to when he was with him.

As for his previous plans, he doesn't dare to do them for the time being.

He could only obediently follow Princess Chenxi's instructions.

While Zhong Boyi was making arrangements with Mu Hui, Fu Ci also arrived in Jingyang City with his men.

Seeing Fu Ci, Lu Yinheng was extremely displeased. He pursed his lips and stared intently at Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Fu Ci to personally lead his troops here.

Although somewhat surprised, she didn't take it seriously.

He has more helpers now, which is even better.

She immediately began discussing the upcoming arrangements with him.

Before Fu Ci brought his troops, many of their soldiers were doing the work of eight men.

Many soldiers who had contracted the plague were assigned missions as soon as they had taken medicine and felt a little better.

These soldiers, whose bodies have only just begun to recover, are generally assigned tasks that are less difficult and easier. They are also given time to rest appropriately.

Soldiers who recovered better not only had to perform more difficult tasks, but sometimes they didn't even have time to rest.

Ji Yunshuang knew that these soldiers had worked hard, so she took out almost all the pills she had made from the nectar in her space.

These soldiers were able to hold on entirely thanks to the tonics Ji Yunshuang provided.

Now that Fu Ci has brought his men, we can finally arrange for them to rest.

However, although there are now more people, new problems have arisen.

The more people you have, the more food you need.

Jingzhou was not only plagued by the plague, but had also just experienced a flood.

Many people's homes were flooded, and their crops were submerged.

Now, not only do the soldiers need rations, but the disaster-stricken people also need rations.

Right now, for the Great Zhou, which is plagued by disasters, the most pressing need is for food.

Not only Jingzhou is lacking, but other places are also lacking.
