Chi Xiao has been going through a lot of hardship these past few days.

If at the beginning it was just a suspicion that the princess's identity was problematic, then what happened later basically proved that the princess was no longer the princess she once was.

He lived in constant fear, terrified that he might be transformed into a monster like Commander Mu if he wasn't careful.

After finally waiting for Princess Chenxi to leave with Zhong Boyi, he immediately seized the opportunity to secretly go to the Prince's Mansion.

He had been secretly keeping an eye on Ji Yunshuang's news these days.

He knew that Ji Yunshuang was not in the city. However, although Ji Yunshuang was not in the city, Lu Yinheng was.

He decided to go to the Prince's Mansion himself to find Lu Yinheng.

Just as Lu Yinheng was about to set off for Zhengcheng, a servant came to report that someone wanted to see him.

Lu Yinheng didn't care much at first. He was now in charge of managing Jingyang City, which involved many new industries. It was not strange that many merchants were trying to see him.

Previously, he would patiently meet with the priestess in order to find her, but now that he realized they might have been wrong, he no longer intended to waste time.

He said, "If it's an investment matter, tell him to contact the relevant department."

Jingyang City has undergone a major reform, adding many departments that did not exist before, as well as new laws and regulations.

Although Lu Yinheng hadn't been able to find the witch these past few days, he had managed Jingyang City quite well. Now, the entire city was back on track.

Even if he's not in charge of Jingyang City, nothing will go wrong.

Looking at his serious face, the servant hesitated to speak, but thinking of how the man had asked him to help deliver a message, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "But the man said he has something to tell you about the plague and begs you to see him."

Upon hearing that it was related to the plague, Lu Yinheng frowned slightly and paused in his steps. "Bring the person in."

Soon, Chi Xiao was brought before him by the servants.

Upon seeing Lu Yinheng, Chi Xiao immediately knelt down and cried, "My lord! Save me!"

Lu Yinheng looked him over and, seeing that he did not have any symptoms of the plague, asked, "Do you have any family members who have contracted the plague?"

Chi Xiao hurriedly said, "No! I wanted to ask you to protect me, and also to save Mr. Zhong's life."

Then, he recounted his origins, his suspicion that Princess Chenxi was no longer herself, but some kind of monster, and how she had now taken Zhong Boyi out of the city.

Upon hearing Chi Xiao's words, Lu Yinheng was almost immediately certain that this was the witch he had been searching for.

He stood up abruptly, asking excitedly, "Where did they go?"

Chi Xiao said, "We don't know either. She only took Commander Mu and Mr. Zhong with her, leaving us in the city. However, Mr. Zhong has been trying to seek help from Lord Ji."

However, when he went out before, the princess sent Commander Mu to accompany him, so he never had the chance to do so.

If he hadn't been harmed after being taken out by the princess, he would have likely found a way to leave a signal. Following that signal, they should be able to find them.

Lu Yinheng immediately decided to change his original plan to go to Zhengcheng and instead go after Princess Chenxi first.

He said, "You lead the way."

As he spoke, he immediately selected someone to accompany him.

Before setting off, he thought for a moment, then stopped and wrote a letter, recounting what Chi Xiao had told him that day, as well as his journey with Chi Xiao to find Princess Chenxi, and had it delivered to Ji Yunshuang.

Besides making weapons, Ji Yunshuang also planned to improve the medicine this time. That's why she spent a relatively long time in the space this time.

It was seven days later when Ji Yunshuang finished everything.

After finishing her work, she went to check on the two children in the courtyard.

Although she has been keeping an eye on the two children these days and often delivers things to their gate.

But she did not appear in front of the two children.

She had previously said she would take the two children away after they stayed there for a month. But given the current situation, it seems they will have to stay there for a while longer.

Ji Yunshuang was a little worried, feeling that keeping the two children in the same space all the time would affect their mental health.

Although she had considered many things and added many toys, books and other things that the children were interested in to the house.

No matter how many things they had, it couldn't change the fact that it was just the two of them together, that they couldn't leave the courtyard, and that they couldn't play with other children.

I still haven't seen my parents and relatives...

A pang of guilt rose in her heart.

She already had a lot of gifts prepared for the two of them, but because she felt guilty, she picked out two ponies to take to the two children.

The two foals were born from the mating of a wild horse from her space and a horse she had placed there. One foal was pure white with glossy, shiny fur, and was very beautiful. The other was brown with equally shiny fur, clearly a fine horse.

When Lu Yuzhu saw her mother leading two ponies into the yard, she immediately let out a gasp.

"Mom, Zhuzhu missed you so much." She threw herself into Ji Yunshuang's arms. "This little white pony is so beautiful! Is it for Zhuzhu?"

Ji Yunshuang hugged her daughter tightly, kissed her chubby little face, and smiled, "Yes! It's for my little darling, do you like it?"

"I love it!" Lu Yuzhu exclaimed happily. "Mother, can I ride a horse?"

“Of course you can. You can take care of this horse yourself, and it will become attached to you.” Ji Yunshuang said, “But there’s no saddle yet. Once I’ve prepared it, you can try riding it. You can lead it around for a bit first.”

"Is it okay?" Lu Yuzhu asked eagerly.

What child doesn't love horses? Before, she could only envy others riding horses, but now, she has her own little pony.

Although Lu Yanqi was reborn and already had his own horses in his previous life, he could tell that both horses were priceless gems.

He didn't know where Ji Yunshuang had gotten the pony from, and he was both excited and touched. However, now that Ji Yunshuang knew he was a reborn person, he couldn't act like a child in front of her like a younger sister.

He bowed respectfully to Ji Yunshuang and said, "Thank you, Mother, for taking such good care of you."

Ji Yunshuang smiled at him, "Don't be shy, you should go and get acquainted with your own little pony."

Having received permission, Lu Yanqi hurried to see his own little pony.

Lu Yanqi had learned to ride a horse in his previous life, so Ji Yunshuang didn't need to worry about him. Ji Yunshuang took Lu Yuzhu and helped her get acquainted with the foal.

"Mother, does it have a name?" Lu Yuzhu asked, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the white horse in front of her.

Ji Yunshuang smiled and said, "Not yet! Why don't you name it one?"

Lu Yuzhu asked, "Is it alright? Can I name it?"

Ji Yunshuang encouraged, "Why not? This is your horse, it's more meaningful for you to name it."
