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

Ji Yunshuang spent the morning playing with Lu Yuzhu in the kitchen and had a special lunch before deciding to leave.

Before leaving, she kissed her daughter's cheek and said, "Mommy still has a little thing to take care of. I'll come pick you up after I've taken care of it, okay?"

Lu Yuzhu was very reluctant, but she still obediently nodded.

Looking at her well-behaved little daughter, Ji Yunshuang's heart softened, and she said, "I will try my best to find time to come see you."

"Yay!" Lu Yuzhu's mood instantly improved.

After saying a long farewell to her daughter, Ji Yunshuang finally left the courtyard. Lu Yanqi, holding his younger sister's hand, stood together at the courtyard gate, watching Ji Yunshuang leave.

Only after Ji Yunshuang could no longer be seen did he lead his sister back to their room.

In addition to bringing two foals, Ji Yunshuang also brought many gifts for the two of them today.

These gifts are now piled up in the room.

Some were special; Ji Yunshuang had already explained their usage to the two of them after opening them. Others hadn't even been opened.

Lu Yanqi and his sister sat on the carpet together, unwrapping their gifts.

At first, Lu Yuzhu was still immersed in the sadness of parting. However, seeing all kinds of novel toys, her attention was quickly drawn to them, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Even after leaving the space, Ji Yunshuang continued to keep track of the two's situation.

Seeing her daughter's carefree smile return, she finally felt completely relieved.

Having been away in space for several days, she needed to return to the military camp as soon as possible to find out what had happened outside during her absence.

However, before returning to the barracks, the necessary arrangements should not be neglected.

She could take the medicine to treat the plague back with her, but there were too many weapons, so she couldn't take them back with her as well.

Therefore, as before, she first found Chen Wu and made arrangements for him before rushing back to the military camp.

As luck would have it, Ji Yunshuang had just returned to the military camp when she encountered the messenger sent by Lu Yinheng to deliver a letter.

Could it be news of a shrine maiden?

Ji Yunshuang quickly opened the letter delivered by the messenger and read it in three lines at a glance.

Upon seeing the letter stating that the priestess's new body belonged to Princess Chenxi, Ji Yunshuang frowned. It seemed that, just as she had guessed, the priestess had indeed targeted a member of the royal family.

But why didn't she find any trace of a witch around Prince Rui during her last investigation? Was it because she didn't find an opportunity to act, or were her methods too sophisticated for her to notice?

Ji Yunshuang couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.

However, now that her previous guess has been confirmed to be correct, the next step is to send people to continue their secret investigation of the royal family.

As for Prince Rui, she hasn't decided what to do yet.

Just as she was frowning in worry, Xie Liang, dressed in protective gear, came up to Ji Yunshuang.

This was given to him by Ji Yunshuang before she left.

Xie Liang, wearing protective clothing, went to see the insects that Ji Yunshuang had locked up.

Although the insects were dead, they still looked quite creepy.

Moreover, the longer he stayed in the military camp, the more he learned about those insects. He also became increasingly aware of the consequences if these insects were not completely eradicated.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, he eagerly asked, "How's it going? Is the weapon for dealing with those insects being made going smoothly?"

Ji Yunshuang bowed to him, called him "Master," and said, "Someone will deliver them in a few days, then the soldiers can start training with their weapons."

When Xie Liang heard that the weapon had been completed, he was immediately invigorated and exclaimed three times, "Well done! You are indeed my disciple, capable and competent! Well done!"

He excitedly praised Ji Yunshuang and then asked about the letter.

Lu Yinheng's letter wasn't exactly a secret, especially since she had originally planned to discuss the matter with Xie Liang.

Xie Liang knew far more about matters concerning the royal family than she did.

Therefore, she gave the letter directly to Xie Liang.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xie Liang frowned deeply.

He said, "This information can't be wrong, can it?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "There should be no mistake. I first discovered that insect at the Duan Prince's residence."

Then, she told him about some of her previous speculations.

Although it's just speculation, based on how things have developed, it's probably pretty close to the truth.

Xie Liang pondered for a long time, then sighed and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Ji Yunshuang guessed that his sigh was probably related to Prince Rui. After all, he and Prince Rui seemed to have a good relationship.

Now that he knows the witch specifically targets members of the royal family, he must be worried about Prince Rui's situation.

However, these thoughts only lasted for a moment.

She said, "I want to send someone to secretly investigate among the royals to see if anyone else has had contact with the witch."

This is naturally not an easy task.

The royal family is always cautious. If it is a newly appointed person, they will probably not even be able to get close to the royal family, let alone gather information.

If we want to gather information, it's best to use the undercover agents we've already established.

Xie Liang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll arrange this."

"Now that you're back, I'm handing the general's camp back to you. You've trained your men very well."

In the few days since he took over, he could clearly feel the excellence of Ji Yunshuang's soldiers.

In many ways, this apprentice far surpasses him.

Ji Yunshuang said, "Master, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a few more days."

Xie Liang was completely taken aback by Ji Yunshuang's refusal, and immediately glared at her, saying, "I've already taken on the task of secretly investigating the royal family for you, what else do you want?"

"You've seen that letter too. Commander Lu suspects the witch is with Princess Chenxi, and he's leading men to arrest her."

Ji Yunshuang said, "I have an idea in mind, I wonder if I can give it a try."

Xie Liang asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Master should know that the insect has several lives and can be resurrected by changing bodies, right?"

He knew that Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng had personally killed the male and female insects when they were in Ningxing Prefecture.

To be honest, this sounds rather unbelievable.

However, since everything had happened right before his eyes, he had to accept the facts, no matter how unwilling he was to believe it.

He asked, "So what are you planning to do?"

"Master, did you see the container used to torture the insects?" Ji Yunshuang said, "It's just a pity that I didn't get many questions out before the main insect interrupted me."

If we can capture the priestess this time and interrogate her, we should be able to solve many of our questions. Therefore, I want to try and see if we can capture her alive.”

Xie Liang never expected that she would have such a plan.

To be honest, he thought the idea was crazy.

That's something only a normal person could come up with.

However, thinking about what Ji Yunshuang had done before, he felt that she was indeed worthy of her.

That was indeed what she came up with.

And with her abilities, she really has a good chance of succeeding.

"Alright! Go ahead and do it." Xie Liang's expression showed barely suppressed excitement. "If you need anything from your master, just let me know."

This apprentice hadn't been with him for long, and he hadn't taught her much. But of all his apprentices, this youngest one was his favorite.
