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

Seeing that he had piqued Ji Yunshuang's interest, Minister Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he wasn't entirely useless.

Luckily he's somewhat useful, so she'll keep him, right?

Upon discovering that he had such humble thoughts, Minister Yan felt a bitter and embarrassed feeling.

He was a highly trusted minister whom Emperor Gong of Zhou relied on.

But when it came to her, he actually had to resort to showing off his snake-delivery skills to gain her attention and beg her to let him stay.

But he dared not express any dissatisfaction about it.

He was indeed too arrogant and overconfident before, mistaking those rumors for her tactics, for exaggerated claims to fool the masses...

That's what led him to misjudge her identity.

So much so that one wrong step leads to another.

Fortunately, it's not too late. As long as he works hard to demonstrate his talents now, His Majesty the Divine Lord will eventually be impressed and give him an important position.

"Your Majesty, may I have someone return to my residence in Creek Lane? My friend left me special stationery for a snake to deliver the message; it must be on special stationery."

Ji Yunshuang arranged for someone to go back to his house in Xishui Lane with him to retrieve the letter. While the person was still waiting, she arranged for someone to prepare for the upcoming trip.

This time she was going to travel with Fu Ci, so she had to make some preparations.

Thinking that returning to Hongdu would take some more time, Ji Yunshuang rubbed her temples in frustration.

Too much time has been wasted on this matter.

"Quack~~"

Several calls of wild geese rang out in the sky, and a pair of geese swooped down and flew to Ji Yunshuang's side.

Ji Yunshuang looked at the two geese, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She reached out and took down two geese, then used her mental power to put them back into her space to rest.

These two geese were used by her to deliver messages to Lu Yinheng. Like the pigeons that delivered messages, the two geese had been kept in her space and could be found by her scent.

Moreover, perhaps because they absorbed a lot of the energy from the merit tree in the space, both geese flew very fast.

Each time they returned with a message, Ji Yunshuang would release them back into her space and reward them with water made from the nectar of the Merit Tree and soaked grains.

Thinking about the arrangements before leaving Qiongdu, Ji Yunshuang quickly opened the mailbox in her hand.

The letter was written by Lu Yinheng, and it described the situation in Beiguan.

Now, all the monsters around Beiguan have been wiped out by his men, and Beiguan is completely under their control.

In addition, grain has been continuously being sent to Beiguan from neighboring countries.

Although the amount of grain was small, it temporarily solved the problem of food shortage in Beiguan.

In addition, he planned to lead his soldiers to reclaim wasteland in Beiguan and use it as military settlements. Once the military settlements were established, they would be able to solve the problem of food supply for the troops in Beiguan.

He wanted to grow sweet potatoes in Beiguan, as they have a high yield and could quickly solve the food shortage problem in Beiguan.

However, he was unsure whether Beiguan was suitable for growing sweet potatoes, so he wrote to ask her.

Furthermore, if things stabilize in Beiguan, he plans to take his men to Zhenxiguan.

Besides a few major events, he also wrote a lot about his daily life in Beiguan, his words filled with longing.

When Lu Yinheng learned that Ji Yunshuang was going to Beiguan, he felt sorry for her having to travel so hard, but he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Thinking that he would soon see her, he couldn't help but feel excited.

His soldiers noticed a strange phenomenon. People who never cared about their appearance suddenly started paying attention to it. They would also gaze into the distance from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

The soldiers were only puzzled in silence, and dared not ask any further questions.

However, ever since His Highness received the letter delivered by the wild goose, his master has suddenly returned to normal.

He would only occasionally show a hint of melancholy.

The soldiers didn't know what was going on with him, but several of Lu Yinheng's confidants had some guesses.

Even before His Majesty the Divine Lord established the Great Qi Kingdom, and before the relationship between his prince and His Majesty was revealed, they could already see that his prince's heart was entirely with His Majesty.

Unfortunately, His Majesty only cares about the people and the affairs of the country... and has no interest in personal relationships.

It's pitiful that her prince has had two children with her, yet he doesn't even have a proper title, and he has to constantly be on guard against that shameless man trying to curry favor with His Majesty...

Now he is far away at the border and cannot be by His Majesty's side. He must be even more anxious!

As Lu Yinheng looked up at the horizon again, Zhao Lin whispered, "Your Highness, don't worry. Even if some shameless men try to curry favor with His Majesty, he won't even give them a second glance."

Lu Yinheng was completely unaware that in the days that he had been traveling all over the country with the group of people who had followed him, a grand drama of thousands of men fighting over Ji Yunshuang had already been imagined in their minds.

He was a little confused when he suddenly heard the words "flattery". What were they talking about?

Zhao Lin continued to comfort her, "Her Majesty clearly doesn't have that kind of heart; she only cares about the common people... Besides, if we're really comparing, who in this world can compare to Your Highness? Look at you, your face..."

As Zhao Lin was speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The surrounding temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped several degrees.

Lu Yinheng looked at him and said, "Are you very free?"

Zhao Lin scratched his head. "I'm not exactly free... I just remembered, I still have something to take care of. I'll go take care of it now..."

He ran away in a flash.

Zhao Lin left, but his words kept echoing in Lu Yinheng's mind.

Thinking about the letter she sent me...

She will meet Fu Ci when she returns to the Zhou Kingdom to stop Emperor Gong of Zhou's conspiracy.

Thinking about Fu Ci's feelings for her, he felt increasingly agitated. A hint of jealousy even began to stir within him.

He could see her, he went through countless twists and turns, but he could hardly see her even once.

If Fu Ci knew she went back specifically for him, he'd be overjoyed. Perhaps his fantasies would only grow even more rampant…

If he gets hurt, he might as well take advantage of her soft heart to gain her attention.

Besides, she's such a good person.

Besides Fu Ci, there are countless other Fu Ci.

Lu Yinheng took a deep breath, suppressing his agitation. He shouldn't be jealous; he should strive to be better so that one day, when she looks back, she will see his good qualities.
