Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

When Chu Yungui saw Chu Junting's unusually solemn expression, his heart skipped a beat.

If all of this was premeditated, then it's obvious that the other party resented the Third Prince's current success in court and his favor with the Emperor, and thus deliberately plotted against him.

In other words... the other party made such a big commotion, clearly intending to completely destroy Third Brother!

Military camps are inherently important places, and if such a mistake occurs, the Emperor will certainly be held responsible.

Even though the Emperor felt that his elder brother had gone through a lot, he could not go unpunished under such circumstances, not to mention that his elder brother had always enjoyed a very high reputation among the people. This matter would undoubtedly cause a huge blow.

"This man's methods are truly insidious. How many soldiers' lives are he willing to sacrifice to frame you!"

Chu Yungui gritted his teeth in anger. The soldiers were so innocent. They had fought for many years to protect the people, and now that they had returned to the capital, they were being framed like this!

Chu Junting's eyes were filled with a murmur of emotions, his heart simmering with anger, but even more so with worry.

This conspiracy was like a giant claw reaching towards him; if not handled properly, it would be a grave mistake.

The soldiers in the camp were all his brothers who had risked their lives for him, and now they were suffering an undeserved disaster because of him. How could he face them all?

Upon hearing the news, the imperial physicians rushed over immediately and hurried to the military camp to check on the soldiers' condition.

On their way there, they learned about what had happened in the military camp and were aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Plague, that can kill people!

In the past, every time a plague broke out, many people died, and everyone was terrified at the mere mention of the plague!

Now, the plague has broken out in the military camp, which is even more alarming!

Everyone who stepped inside had a tragic look on their face, as if they were facing certain death. No one wanted to come into contact with them, but now everyone had no choice.

When Song Ruozhen arrived, she saw that the military camp was heavily guarded and looked extremely serious.

"It seems the situation is more serious than we thought?"

Song Ruozhen frowned slightly, her clear eyes fixed on the distance, revealing her worry.

Just as she was about to go to the military camp to look for Chu Junting, she happened to bump into him coming out of the tent.

"Jun Ting!" Song Ruozhen called out from afar.

Chu Junting looked up and saw Song Ruozhen standing some distance away outside the military camp. His pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly said, "Don't come any closer, go back!"

This was the first time Song Ruozhen had seen Chu Junting with such a solemn and even serious expression, and even his voice carried a hint of ferocity, which startled her instinctively.

While feeling somewhat unfamiliar, she was even more aware that the situation must be very serious, otherwise Jun Ting wouldn't have such an expression.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Song Ruozhen asked earnestly.

Chu Junting realized that his voice had been too harsh, so he immediately softened his tone and said gently:

"Zhen'er, you go back first. Something troublesome happened at the military camp today, and I need time to deal with it."

This is a matter of the imperial court, and it's not appropriate for you to get involved. Listen to me, go back and wait for my news.

The soldiers around them looked at each other in bewilderment. They usually saw the prince as cold and ruthless, and he was very sparing with his words. They had never seen the prince so patient before.

The voice, the tone—if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I simply wouldn't have believed it was real!

Upon hearing that Song Ruozhen had arrived, Chu Yungui hurriedly came out and said, "Sister-in-law, please tell Huan'er for me that I will be staying in the military camp for the next few days and will not be going back for the time being."

Although he had a smile on his face, he was actually quite uneasy inside.

He and Huan'er are not married yet. If something really happens, then... he doesn't even want to think about it!

Seeing this, Song Ruozhen wanted to know what had happened, but she knew from their serious expressions that this was not the time to ask questions.

This was originally a matter of the imperial court, and as a woman, it was naturally inconvenient for her to interfere. Moreover, with so many people in between, she couldn't ask any questions.

Thinking of this, she nodded. "Then I'll go back first. I'll tell Huan'er too."

"Go back quickly, don't worry."

Chu Junting was anxious and wished Song Ruozhen would leave quickly, as the military camp was currently sealed off and no one was allowed to enter.

They had all been in contact with the soldiers in the camp, and it was hard to say whether they were infected or not. Fortunately, he came out at the right time, and Ruozhen was standing far away, so he would be fine.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Song Ruozhen's heart sank. Was the situation really that serious?

Having been with Chu Junting for so long, she could tell a lot from his expressions, but the fact that he wouldn't say what had happened was a bit of a problem.

She went to the Gu residence immediately.

"Is His Highness Prince Yun also in the military camp?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Huan'er's eyes showed worry. "What exactly happened in this military camp that could have escalated to such a serious extent?"

Song Ruozhen recalled the divination she had performed, which indicated an ominous sign and threatened her life, and her unease grew stronger.

Given Jun Ting's current status, what danger could he possibly encounter in the military camp?

If it were anyone else, she could have easily figured it out with a simple calculation, but because of Jun Ting's marriage to her, the bond between the two of them grew stronger and stronger.

Just as one cannot predict one's own destiny through fortune-telling, the deeper the entanglements, the more blurred things become, which is troublesome.

"When my grandfather returned from court today, he mentioned this matter, saying that someone reported an incident in the military camp this morning, and the prince rushed over immediately."

No one from the military camp came to report back until after the court session, so my grandfather doesn't know the specifics of the situation.

After hearing what her grandfather said today, Gu Huan'er planned to tell her cousin, but she didn't expect to come back empty-handed. As soon as she returned, her cousin came to find her.

"Don't think too much about it yet. Be patient and wait. News will eventually come back."

Song Ruozhen remained calm. She believed in Chu Junting's abilities, and there was no point in worrying too much at the moment. She could only wait for the news to come back before making a decision.

royal palace.

When the Emperor and Empress learned that a plague had broken out in the military camp, their expressions changed drastically.

"Plague?" The Empress looked incredulous. "The Prince of Chu and the Prince of Yun are both in the military camp. What are we going to do?"

How terrible is the plague?

She had experienced a plague when she was a child, which killed many people. The bodies were burned, and she had seen the thick smoke from afar and heard the cries of countless people.

However, now the plague has broken out again, and both of his sons are in the army camp. If something happens to them...

The empress turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

"Queen!"

The Emperor quickly helped the Empress up, his majestic face appearing extremely solemn. "Don't rush. At this point, it's only a possibility, not yet confirmed. Perhaps there's still a chance."

"Really?" A glimmer of hope ignited in the Queen's eyes. "It absolutely can't be the plague, or we're doomed!"

"This matter should not be leaked before it is thoroughly investigated, lest it cause panic among the people."

The Emperor glanced at the frightened Empress and said to the palace maid, "Take good care of the Empress. This news must not be leaked, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."
