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

When Chu Muyao arrived, she saw her mother looking distraught and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong?"

The Empress felt completely lost at this moment, her mind filled with worry for Chu Junting and Chu Yungui. She said, "I'm just worried about what happened to your brother's army camp."

"Mother, don't you know what happened in the military camp?" Chu Muyao asked anxiously.

The Empress glanced at Chu Muyao and decided it was best not to let her worry as well. In the current situation, one more person worrying wouldn't help.

"We don't know for now, let's wait for more accurate information."

Upon hearing this, Chu Muyao looked at her mother suspiciously, feeling that her mother was not telling the truth. Her father had just left, so she must know.

The Empress thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Chu Prince's residence later and tell Ruozhen to put her mind at ease. Also, remember to remind her not to go to the military camp."

"Why is that? Is your sister-in-law worried about your brother? Can't she go to the military camp to visit him?"

"As a woman, she shouldn't interfere in court affairs, especially in important military camps. Everyone is watching your brother now; if she goes there, she'll be even more criticized."

The Empress's expression was serious, but she was thinking that if it really was a plague, it would be good to keep one person out of danger, otherwise the Emperor would be even more worried.

Chu Muyao nodded repeatedly, "I understand. Mother, don't worry. My brother is always capable; he'll definitely handle it."

……

When Gu Ruyan learned of the incident at the military camp, she was worried that Song Ruozhen would feel uneasy, so she came to the Chu Prince's residence.

"Zhen'er, don't worry too much, eat something first."

Gu Ruyan sighed helplessly; she understood her daughter's current state of mind all too well.

Every time Song Lin led his troops into battle, her heart was always in suspense, fearing that she would hear bad news.

Originally, he thought that now that the border was secure, the King of Chu would not have to go to the battlefield, and his daughter would not have to worry as much as he did. However, the incident in the military camp this time seemed to be very serious.

“Your father and your eldest brother have already gone to inquire about the news, and we should have results soon. However, I heard from your father that the situation is a bit strange this time. The military camp has completely blocked the news, and not a single word has leaked out.”

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen also found it strange. "Two people died. Even if someone set the fire, it would just be a matter of investigating the case and finding the culprit."

This information blackout...could it be that someone poisoned them?

"Poisoning?" Gu Ruyan exclaimed in shock. "Who would be so audacious as to poison a military camp?"

Song Ruozhen shook her head, and then Song Lin walked over with a solemn expression. "Zhen'er, I just heard some news. It is said that all the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, except for two who stayed behind, have gone to the military camp."

I discussed it with your eldest and second eldest brothers, and we think that either someone poisoned the soldiers, or many soldiers in the camp may have been poisoned, so the situation is very serious.

Besides, there is another possibility.

Song Lin paused, his eyes becoming unusually deep.

Gu Ruyan looked at him worriedly, "What?"

“It might be a plague,” Song Lin said in a deep voice. “Normally, no matter how serious the situation, news wouldn’t be blocked like this, and imperial physicians are allowed to go out.”

But he hasn't come out since entering the military camp yesterday. Your older brother went to check around the camp area and found that the things he sent were just left outside the camp and would be retrieved after the people left.

It was through this that we suspected it might be a plague.

They hadn't thought of it that way before, but after learning about the situation, they had no choice but to consider it.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but recall that when she went to the military camp before, Chu Junting immediately stopped her as soon as he saw her and wouldn't let her go any further. That was the problem.

At the time, she only felt it was strange, but didn't think much of it. Now, thinking about it carefully, it's probably true...

"Plagues can kill people, how could a plague suddenly break out in a military camp?"

Gu Ruyan's expression changed drastically. She originally thought that at most it was just a matter of not managing her subordinates well and causing trouble. Who would have thought that it would turn out to be a deadly plague?

If they had known earlier, the King of Chu might not have had to go. But now that he is in the military camp, isn't he at risk of contracting the virus at any time?

"I don't know, this matter is indeed strange in every way."

Song Lin frowned. "I'm more inclined to believe that someone deliberately framed us. But we haven't heard of any plague outbreaks anywhere. How did this person find us?"

Over the years, Song Lin had seen all sorts of strange methods, but he couldn't just catch the plague whenever he wanted.

It's too strange that this person could spread the plague in the military camp so quietly, without any news from outside!

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up.

"I can calculate that!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the room lit up. "Then you can calculate it."

If they could really figure it out, that would be amazing!

Song Ruozhen calmed down and began to calculate the source of the plague. She immediately found out where it was.

"In the north, at Qingyang Village!"

Song Lin's eyes narrowed. "I'll take men to Qingyang Village right away. If we can find it, we might be able to follow the clues and find the mastermind behind it all!"

"General, there is a plague there. If you go..."

Gu Ruyan spoke up subconsciously. The current situation of the King of Chu was already worrying enough. If Song Lin also went, they would truly be unable to eat or sleep in peace!

Seeing Gu Ruyan's worried expression, Song Lin felt guilty for making her worry all these years, so he looked at Song Ruozhen and asked, "Zhen'er, are you sure?"

"Yes!" Song Ruozhen nodded seriously.

Song Lin always believed in his daughter's abilities; if she said it was accurate, then it must be accurate.

"Then I will go to the palace first to meet the Emperor and tell him about this matter. It is not appropriate for us to investigate on our own. It would be more prudent to let the Court of Judicial Review investigate!"

Song Ruozhen and Gu Ruyan exchanged a glance and nodded, "Okay!"

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

"really?"

After hearing the news from Song Lin, the Emperor's expression became extremely solemn.

He found the matter very strange after hearing about it. If it was an accident, then the military camp was really in trouble. But if it was not an accident, then someone had deliberately framed them.

If successful, Chu Junting would lose his life. Even if he were lucky enough to escape this calamity, the huge uproar caused by the casualties of his soldiers would naturally diminish his reputation.

"Your Majesty, this was calculated by the Princess Consort of Chu. I think it's best to confirm it, whether it's true or not."

Song Lin didn't rule out any possibility of a definitive answer. He knew his daughter's abilities, but the other party's methods were not to be underestimated either, so it was best to act as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the other party takes the opportunity to move, it will be troublesome.

"Someone, have the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review take some men to investigate!"

Seeing this, Song Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It would be impossible to sleep or eat in peace if such a vicious person was not found.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is a master at solving cases; he will surely get to the bottom of this!
