"Master, you mean to say that you want to use this recipe to cure the plague to curry favor with the Royal family of the Northern Wilderness?

"

"He shouldn't be so shallow. The royal family can only be called king if they have the approval of the people. As far as I know, the Northern Frontier is in chaos right now, and many tribes have rebelled. If I'm not wrong, he wants to use this to win back the hearts of the people.

"

"Converge the hearts of the people? Could it be that he wants to rebel?

" But was it possible to succeed?

Yue Yang did not say anything, but his heart was in turmoil like never before:

"Give the order, it's about time for the western part of Cantonese army to move.

"

Since he dared to make a move, he must have his own backing. Since that was the case, he could borrow his strength. If he had the ability to transform into a dragon, he wouldn't mind giving him a thunderstorm!

"Yes sir!

"

In September, news came from the west of Cantonese that King Yue had taken control of two cities, Yuxi Cheng and Yumen City. Following that, with these two cities as a base, they recruited many people to fight against the imperial government.

The Northern Frontier King who had already revealed his subservience sent a letter reprimanding the Emperor for not keeping his word, ordering the Great Desolate Empire to return the captured Northern Frontier envoys. At the same time, he also sent more troops to the border as if he was threatening them.

Inside the Mausoleum of Books, Mu Yunyao sat in a pavilion as she watched the originally lush and verdant mountains take on a faint golden hue. She slightly furrowed her brows, as if she was in deep thought.

Xu Yanhan took out her cloak and tied it around her shoulders, his tone tinged with reproach,

"Yao`er, you're not alone right now. You need to be extra careful, the weather's getting cold, that's not good.

"

Mu Yunyao turned around, the space between her eyebrows widening as a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I've made mother worry.

"

Xu Yanhan felt her heart ache when she saw how worried she was, yet she was trying to smile so that she could be at ease.

"Is Yao`er worried about Jun Yue?

"

Mu Yunyao's eyes drooped slightly. The child in her womb had been around for almost three months now, so it was becoming easier for people to sense his existence,

"Mn, mother, look at this mountain range. When we first arrived, it was still a dark green color, and now it's already trembling in the middle of the mountain.

Xu Yanhan's eyes lit up,

"Yao`er, why are you daydreaming again? You forgot that before Jun Yu left, he made an agreement with you, and we waited for about five to six months before he came back.

"

Mu Yunyao blinked and her body slightly stiffened. Then, she seemed to react,

"Mother, I made you worry. I'm fine, I was just casually saying a few words.

"

Meaning.

Xu Yanhan raised a hand to help Mu Yunyao behind her ears, where her hair had been blown by the wind. He smiled and said,

"It's already windy, so the mountain breeze is the coldest. Yao`er should go back to her room and rest for a while. If you want to enjoy the scenery, then wait for the afternoon to warm up a little before mother will accompany you out.

"

Mu Yunyao let go of the complicated thoughts in her heart and lightly smiled as she nodded.

"Okay.

"

Xu Yanhan brought Mu Yunyao back to her room and then paid his respects to Grand Princess Yi.

"How has Yao'er been these past two days?

" Xu Yanhan frowned and shook her head with worry,

"I've already been investigated repeatedly, but in the end, I still can't find out where the hallucinogen came from. Yao'er has been getting more and more depressed, and according to Jin Lan, she can't sleep well at night. She's only been pregnant for three months, if that's the case …

"

"If this goes on, my body won't be able to take it.

" Princess Yi De's expression was cold.

"The Western Palace is only this big. It doesn't matter how many things there are or how many people are recorded in the records. I don't believe that I can't find out where the Hallucination Medicine came from.

"If I send someone to investigate again, even if I have to turn this place upside down, I must uncover the root of this disaster …

"

"

"Alright, then I'll have the Poison Lady make her move now.

"

"The wicked woman is capable. Tell her not to hold back, even if it's our place. You can do whatever you want if you want.

"

"Alright,

" Xu Yanhan hesitated,

"Mother, there's something else I want to tell you.

"

Seeing her expression, Grand Princess Yi De's eyes flashed.

"Are you trying to say that Xu Qi?

" He wanted to tell her, but he didn't want to ask for her opinion. From this, it could be seen that Xu Yanhan already had an idea.

"Mother is intelligent. You guessed correctly.

"

Survive.

"Although the back of my hand is all flesh, the flesh on my palm is still thicker than the flesh on the back of my hand. Yao'er and I are connected by blood, and since we are in a dilemma, there must be some choice. Go ahead and do it.

"

If one wasn't a sage, one wouldn't be able to act without selfishness. Yun Yao was her biological granddaughter, and she had a deep affection for him. Now that Xu Qi had changed her mind to the Titan, she also felt very disgusted with him.

Xu Yanhan nodded his head and left Grand Princess Yi De's room. He immediately instructed Si Qin and Si Cha,

"Are there any of our men over at Xu Qi's side?

"

"Reporting to Madam, according to your previous instructions, I've been under surveillance the entire time.

"

If Xu Qi purely follows her father back to Yanzhou, then we'll secretly protect them for a bit. If Xu Qi uses the name of returning to Yanzhou to change routes midway to western Guangdong, then we'll intercept him and bring him directly to the palace.

"Yes.

"

In the next two days, the poison woman searched the whole palace, even the flowers and plants in the palace, but to no avail.

Fortunately, it was unknown if her actions had alarmed the person who had secretly drugged her, but there had been no hallucinations in the past two days. In addition to that, when Mu Yunyao received the letter from King Yue, her mood had also improved, and she was no longer as worried as she was two days ago. Inside the room, the woman was walking around restlessly. Her face was extremely tense, and she kept muttering to herself,

"Where did you forget? Where did I forget?

"
