Du Mingxian quietly emerged from behind and fired a tranquilizer gun at Chun Tao. Chun Tao seemed to sense it and was about to turn around to look back when she collapsed.

She hurried forward, looked around, and saw that everyone was in the front yard and there was no one here. She put Chun Tao into her spatial storage and quickly headed to the garden.

In the garden, Ling Silang sat there waiting. When Du Mingxian approached, she found that there were no experts around him, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Silang noticed as she approached, "I'm all alone, aren't I?"

"Not today."

"You have a space to speak."

When Ling Silang suggested it, Du Mingxian walked to an inconspicuous corner and then led Ling Silang into the space.

Ling Silang was surprised to see Chun Tao on the ground. "What is she doing here?"

“When I came to find you, she was following me.” Du Mingxian said urgently, “How is your medical training going? It’s possible that the tests showed poisoning. Chun Tao poisoned me, but I don’t know what kind of poison it is yet.”

Ling Silang was very worried, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, when I realized the soup was wrong, I immediately went into my spatial dimension. The first time, I experimented with a chicken and found that the chicken died. Perhaps the poison I was given was a slow-acting one, and the chicken couldn't take it."

"I drank it several more times after that. I don't know what kind of poison it was. I don't even know the symptoms. I'm afraid something bad will happen, so I really want to find a good doctor."

Ling Silang was somewhat disgusted with himself, "Although I have read a lot of books, they are all theoretical. I don't have much practical experience. I can't guarantee anything."

Du Mingxian used a small porcelain bottle to put some soup into Ling Silang's hand. "You are more mobile, so go out and find a skilled doctor to ask if they can find out what the poison is."

"Alright." Ling Silang put away the poison. "Then you must be careful these days and not be careless."

"I know," Du Mingxian comforted him with a smile. "Don't worry, you know I have a spatial ability. Besides, I have spiritual water, so I won't let anything happen to myself."

"Yes, I'm already investigating who's behind this, and it might not be the Third Prince."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Some things don't make sense. Let me check again. I'll tell you what I find next."

Time was running out, and he didn't want to waste it on such unintentional speculation.

“Okay, let’s wait then.” After saying that, Du Mingxian told her about the idea she had come up with a few days ago, “Actually, there is another way, the simplest way is to take action directly.”

Ling Silang instantly understood her meaning, "That is indeed a solution, but we are outnumbered and outmatched, and no one is willing to take action, especially since the other party is a prince."

Someone made a move against the prince. Du Mingxian took Chun Tao with her. Chun Tao liked the prince behind the scenes so much that she couldn't just stand by and watch him get into trouble. She would be able to tell at a glance which prince it was.

Du Mingxian had naturally thought about this as well. "Then we'll see if there's a suitable opportunity later."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to find out in a little over a month. After all, what they want is the border map, and that map is definitely related to collusion between the other side and other countries. There are a lot of twists and turns involved."

Du Mingxian nodded emphatically, "I know, you have to be careful these days. Officials appointed by the court can be killed without hesitation, they are really too arrogant."

"They went there to receive the envoys, and the person behind them probably has someone they want to promote. The court is still dragging things out, but we'll know when it's finally decided."

Du Mingxian calculated the days; it would be almost three months since they left home. "Have you written home yet?"

“No.” Ling Silang’s expression was solemn. “I had a chance to send a letter home to let them know I was safe before, but I’ve had people around me ever since, and I don’t dare to take any risks because I’m being watched.”

Du Mingxian knew that if she insisted on taking the risk, something bad would happen. What if... what if their true identities were discovered? Her family would definitely be taken hostage, and she would have no choice but to risk her life for them.

"It's better to be careful. Hopefully, our family won't worry too much about us."

Ling Silang dared not think about the current situation at home. "I'll wait and see if there's a chance to send a message home."

The two were worried about their family, while a group of people sat in the main room, also worried about the two who had gone out.

The atmosphere in the Ling family was somber.

Ling Sanlang stepped forward. "Father, Mother, I have a feeling that something must have happened to Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law. I'd better go out and look for them. I don't have anything else to do, so it's best for me to go out and look for them."

“I’ll go with you. Your second sister-in-law, our parents, and our eldest brother are all looking after the family business. It’ll be faster if I go with you,” Ling Erlang said hurriedly, having already made his decision.

The women in the family didn't say anything. If it were still the old relationship, they would definitely have objected, but things are different now. The family's good life depends entirely on the fourth brother and sister-in-law. Now that there's no news of the two of them, how can people not be anxious?

Mr. Ling and Mrs. Ling exchanged a glance. Mr. Ling said, "Let's discuss this matter again. I'll take your mother to the city this afternoon. We'll talk about it when we get back."

Ling Dalang wanted to say something, but his father waved his hand, "Alright, everyone go about your own business, don't just stand here."

Ling's mother also got up and followed Ling's father outside.

Mr. Ling drove the carriage, and Mrs. Ling did not sit in the carriage. Instead, they sat together in front of the carriage and walked slowly forward, their faces full of worry.

"I believe they'll be alright. With Mingxian around, and Mingxian being a lucky star, I believe they'll be fine." Ling's mother seemed to be talking to Ling's father, but also seemed to be comforting herself.

Ling's father nodded emphatically, "I believe they are alright, but I also believe they must have encountered some trouble, otherwise... they wouldn't have only sent one letter to let us know they are safe after so long, it must be inconvenient for them to be here right now."

Ling's mother was also very worried. "It's good that the two of them went out together, but I'm also afraid that they will suffer. Sanlang said he was going to find Silang. My heart is... They have never been far from home and they can't read a single word. How are they going to find someone?"

"Don't rush, let's go and see our in-laws first. They must have survived the famine and have some experience traveling outside. Let's listen to their advice before making a decision."

"As for the fact that Erlang and Sanlang have never traveled far, it's not a big deal. If necessary, we can buy a few servants, pick some skilled ones, spend more money, and also hire some who have been out and about and are clever. Any way is fine."

Hearing Ling's father's arrangement, Ling's mother also felt it was very appropriate. "What you said is quite good. This is indeed much more suitable. It would be really unlucky if the two of them went to look for Silang and ended up getting themselves into trouble instead of finding him."

"You should think positively. Each child has their own destiny; nothing bad will happen to them."
