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

Song Jingshen and Chu Muyao were forbidden to approach the military camp shortly after arriving.

"Military camp, no approaching!"

The guards felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the queen arrive first, followed by the princess.

The princess was determined to come in, and even the prince couldn't do anything about it, so it couldn't be blamed on them. But if even the princess got infected, then even if they managed to escape the plague, their lives would be in danger.

"Has the Empress Dowager gone inside?"

Chu Muyao's heart sank when she didn't see Song Ruozhen.

"The Princess Consort of Chu has indeed entered, but you two should go back quickly!" the soldier hurriedly said.

Chu Muyao's heart sank. "It's over. My sister-in-law has already gone in. We couldn't catch up."

Song Jingshen's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He had long anticipated his fifth sister's plan. Even if they caught up with her, she would not listen to them at all.

Thinking of this, he asked again, "Is there anything I need now?"

As soon as Song Ruozhen stepped out of Chu Junting's tent, she saw Song Jingshen and Mu Yao in the distance and quickly said, "Fourth Brother, Mu Yao, you should go back now!"

"Sister-in-law, you must be careful!"

Seeing that Song Ruozhen's face was covered with something, Chu Muyao knew that Song Jingshen was right. There might really be a plague in the military camp, which was absolutely terrible!

"Don't worry about me, you all go back quickly!" Song Ruozhen waved her hand. "Fourth brother, the palace sends people every day to ask what we need. I'll send someone to find you when we really need it."

Song Jingshen nodded. "Okay."

Seeing the two leave, Song Ruozhen felt relieved and went to the military camp's kitchen.

At that moment, a meal was being prepared in the kitchen, and the cooks were also soldiers. They all looked surprised when Song Ruozhen appeared.

When did a girl arrive at their military camp?

And... this girl is just too beautiful! Like a fairy, I've never seen anything like her before!

“This is the Princess Consort of Chu,” Bai Zhi spoke first.

The group then realized what was happening and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Song Ruozhen glanced at the group of people cooking, then at the ingredients placed to the side, and saw no problems at first glance.

Before coming, she specifically asked Jun Ting whether the people in charge of cooking were trustworthy.

Jun Ting said that although cooking may seem insignificant on a daily basis, it is actually something that he has always taken very seriously, and the soldiers in charge of cooking are all trustworthy.

“His Highness was unwell last night and had no appetite. I would like to make him something to eat myself,” Song Ruozhen said.

Upon hearing this, the group snapped out of their daze, nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but smile.

Everyone had said that their prince would probably never get married in his life, but who would have thought that not only did he get married, but he also married this celestial beauty.

"Your Highness, everything is here. Why don't you tell us what you want to cook, and we'll take charge?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "That's fine then, thank you for your help."

She casually named a few dishes, and because there were many people, each person cooked one dish, and the dishes were ready very quickly.

Before leaving, she specially brought a large pot of food from the army camp before returning to Chu Junting's tent.

Chu Junting looked at the food on the table, then at Song Ruozhen who seemed lost in thought, and asked, "Have you discovered anything?"

“We watched these dishes being made, so there was no opportunity to poison them during the process. However, on the way here, I observed them carefully and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the dishes.”

Song Ruozhen picked through the dishes, carefully checking them.

Chu Yungui had already gotten out of bed. Although he had coughed up blood, he was indeed much better than his sister-in-law had said!

He took out the silver chopsticks and tested them, then said, "I tested them for poison before when I ate, and I didn't find anything."

As he spoke, he picked up the silver chopsticks, but nothing changed.

“Some poisons cannot be detected by silver chopsticks. Since the other party intended to poison you, they also guessed that you would use this method, so they deliberately avoided it.”

Song Ruozhen's eyes were serious. Nowadays, most people use silver needles to test for poison, but not all poisons can be detected.

"Besides, you haven't gone anywhere else these past two days, yet you've been poisoned. There's no other possibility besides food or drink."

Chu Junting agreed with his wife's words, "I originally thought it was a plague. If it was also poisoned, and so many soldiers were poisoned, then this is the best way to deal with it."

After all, with so many people in the military camp, it's impossible to poison them one by one. Not only would it be slow, but the chances of being discovered would also be greatly increased.

"poisonous."

Song Ruozhen took a bite and then spat it out.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room became extremely solemn.

“We watched them cook with our own eyes, there was absolutely no poisoning!”

Bai Zhi couldn't help but speak up. The princess had told them to keep a close eye on her, and she had been watching very carefully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. How could she still be poisoned?

“I was watching very carefully too, it’s impossible!” Qing Teng said as well. Their eyesight was good, and it was impossible for them to be able to hide it from both of them at the same time.

"That proves they didn't poison it."

Song Ruozhen remained calm, and her gaze met Chu Junting's. Both of them thought of another possibility.

"It's water!"

Chu Junting's eyes narrowed; the plague had been brought under control the moment it was discovered.

All the soldiers who were feeling unwell gathered together, while the others stayed in their tents and were not allowed to come out, in order to avoid being infected.

Although the plague is terrible, you will not be infected as long as you do not come into contact with it.

But the situation is much more serious than they thought. If someone were to poison the water, everyone would be affected!

"Water?" Chu Yungui's eyes widened. "They poisoned the well?"

Song Ruozhen's expression was solemn. "Perhaps they felt that the plague was not spreading fast enough, so Jun Ting immediately separated everyone and controlled it within a certain range."

So once someone is poisoned and has similar symptoms, they think they have also contracted the plague and stay with the infected soldiers…

As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, Chu Junting crushed the cup in his hand, his face ashen.

"These bastards are truly hateful!"

Chu Yungui's face was pale. He had suspected that someone had deliberately brought the plague to the military camp, but after hearing his sister-in-law's explanation, he realized that they had underestimated the insidious nature of these people.

How ruthless must one be to do such a thing?

"If I were to catch these bastards, I'd torture them to death, a truly despicable act!"

Knowing the anger in their hearts, Song Ruozhen said, "Don't be angry, your health is the most important thing."

Then she said to Bai Zhi, "Go and fetch a bucket of water."

"Slave, go now."
