Shuo Ling knew that the flood in Jiandu was not so simple. He sent Mo Li to investigate, which proved his guess. Moreover, there were plagues in some villages because of dead livestock and bodies drowned in flood!

Therefore, Shuo Ling asked Mo Li to stay in Jiandu!

As the local officials concealed the plague, Chushi Youtian naturally didn't know that the plague had spread widely now. Although Shuo Ling knew it, he couldn't tell Chushi Youtian as Chushi Youtian was suspicious of him! So he wanted to let someone send a letter back to Jing City and ask Chushi Youtian to send some doctors to Jiandu as he approached Jiandu!

Moreover, if Yang Zijin left Jing City, those who wanted to get the card would surely behave more brazenly!

"Don't you afraid that I will be hijacked again?" Yang Zijin said with a wink at Shuo Ling.

Unexpectedly, Shuo Ling turned a blind eye to that. He looked at Yang Zijin and said, "I will ask people to protect you secretly. Don't worry!"

Yang Zijin pouted. She sat down and stopped talking!

Shuo Ling closed his eyes!

The carriage soon stopped. The coachman said, "My Lord, here it is!"

Shuo Ling opened his eyes. He lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage!

Yang Zijin then lifted the curtain. As soon as she poked her head out, she heard Shuo Ling said to the coachman, "Send the infanta back to the mansion of Duke Mu!"

"Ah... Didn't you ask me to pack things for you?" Yang Zijin didn't know what did he mean and asked.

Shuo Ling glanced at her. Then he turned around and walked into his mansion!

Yang Zijin yanked the curtain up and said to the coachman, "Go!"

Yang Zijin, who had been out for a day, leaned on the carriage, and now she finally let go of her tension and took a break!

The mansion of Prime Minister Lan.

"Ruojing, what's going on? You didn't ask people to the city gate?" Prime Minister Lan called Lan Ruojing to the study and then asked quickly. It was so secretive that he couldn't know why others would discover it!

Lan Ruojing said firmly, "It's not me. I have never seen the two people!"

"That's weird. Nobody knows about this all the time. Why was there someone pretending to be soldiers?" Prime Minister Lan frowned.

Lan Ruojing said, "Could it be Imperial Concubine Xiao?"

"No. If she knew about this, she would have made a big fuss here. She has no reason to do this!" Prime Minister Lan shook his head after hearing this!

Lan Ruojing was confused, "Then who would it be?"

"Perhaps, the person did not aim at us, but Infanta Qingcheng! The purpose is to make her resist His Majesty's order! So..." Prime Minister Lan explained.

Lan Ruojing looked at Prime Minister Lan and said, "You mean this person wanted to kill Infanta Qingcheng?"

"Send some to investigate this. No matter what's his purpose, he destroyed our plan. Find him out. He must be punished for this!" Prime Minister Lan said.

"I will find him out!" Lan Ruojing got up and was about to leave!

Prime Minister Lan stopped him, "Wait, we'll talk about this later. The most urgent thing now is to deal with the thing in Jiandu!"

"What should I do?" Lan Ruojing asked.

Prime Minister Lan made a gesture of killing, "Those officials in Jiandu must be killed!"

"Kill them? There are no fewer than ten officials who know this. No matter how fast we can, Marquis Shuo will leave tomorrow." Lan Ruojing asked.

Prime Minister Lan was filled with hatred, "To give out the news that the thing has already been discovered. Let these officials work together to find a solution, and then kill them. Remember to make the scene looks like suicide for the fare of punishment!"

"Okay! I'm going to ask them to set off to Jiandu immediately!" Lan Ruojing said.

Prime Minister Lan added, "Go to the storeroom and take a box of official money, and put it on the scene. We have to be careful. Otherwise, His Majesty will be suspicious of us. Go!"

"Okay!" Lan Ruojing responded and walked out of the study!

...

The coachman stopped the carriage at the entrance of the mansion of Duke Mu and said, "Your Highness, we arrived."

After a moment, there was still no response. The coachman said again, "Your Highness, we arrived."

Yang Zijin heard him and opened her eyes. She didn't expect to fall asleep.

She tidied herself up and then walked out of the carriage!

As soon as she walked into the mansion, she heard a sound from behind. She turned around to have a look. It turned out to be Eunuch Li.

Yang Zijin wondered why he came at this moment? Could it be that His Majesty decided to punish her for her defiance today?

While she was thinking, Eunuch Li saw her and said, "Your Highness, there is an order for you!"

Yang Zijin knelt quickly. No matter what it was, she needed to listen to it first.

"Infanta Qingcheng treated the victims well and won the trust of them. To comfort the victims, now I order Infanta Qingcheng to go to Jiandu together with Marquis Shuo."

"What? Let me go together with him?" Yang Zijin was surprised after hearing this. She not only didn't be punished but was ordered to go to Jiandu!

Eunuch Li rolled up the imperial edict and walked to Yang Zijin. He said with a smile, "Right. Your Highness, please take the order!"

Yang Zijin came back to earth! After receiving the imperial edict, she still felt surprised. Why His Majesty suddenly let her go to Jiandu? Whatever the reason was, she had long wanted to go out of the city for a tour!

Duke of Mu rushed over after hearing the news!

Eunuch Li was just about to leave when he heard Duke of Mu called him, "Li, please wait for a moment!"

"My lord, what's the matter?" Eunuch Li stopped and asked with a smile.

Duke of Mu walked closer to him and asked in a low voice, "What does His Majesty mean? Why did he ask infanta to go to Jiandu? She is a girl...."

"My Lord, I just here to give the order. I don't dare to guess what His Majesty means. I think you can understand it!" Eunuch Li knew what Duke of Mu wanted to ask. He interrupted Duke of Mu!

After hearing this, Duke of Mu nodded thoughtfully, "Please forgive me. Take care!"

After Eunuch Li left, Duke of Mu said to Yang Zijin, "Follow me to the study!"

He walked towards the study. Yang Zijin took the imperial edict and followed him!

When they arrived at the study, Duke of Mu sat down beside the tea-table. He pointed to the chair next to him, and motioned to Yang Zijin to sit down!

After Yang Zijin sat down, Duke of Mu asked, "Qingcheng, what do you think about the order?"

"I don't have any opinion." Yang Zijin replied casually.

Duke of Mu said, "Why don't you have any opinion? The dam was destroyed, and there were corpses everywhere. You're a girl. How can you go to such a place? If you don't want to go, I will go to the palace and explain to His Majesty. Even if he will feel offended for this, I will ask him to cancel the order!"

"You don't need to do this. I decided to go!" Yang Zijin said!

Duke of Mu looked at Yang Zijin with a worried look. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Yang Zijin's determined face, he said, "Then you have to be careful on this trip. I will ask people to protect you!"

"Dad. I will go together with Shuo Ling. He won't let me be caught by troubles!" Yang Zijin knew that Duke of Mu cared about her. What she said was also right!

Duke of Mu hesitated for a while, then nodded!

Although Shuo Ling didn't say anything at the banquet today, Duke of Mu felt that Shuo Ling liked Yang Zijin very much.

Maybe it was just because he had lost Suhan before, and now Yang Zijin was leaving again, so he felt a little worried!

Yang Zijin said, "I'm going back to make some preparations."

She got up and walked out of the study!

Before she got out of the study, Duke of Mu called, "Qingcheng!"

"Is there anything else, dad?" Yang Zijin stopped and turned around to look at him.

Duke of Mu looked at her and smiled, "Be careful along the way. Take care!"

"Thank you, dad. I will." Then she left!

Jiang Wei, who had just returned from the Blossoming Peach, heard the guard at the door saying that Yang Zijin would go to Jiandu!

Jiang Wei quickly asked, "What did you say?"

"Miss Jiang, Eunuch Li just came over to give His Majesty's order, which asked Infanta Qingcheng to go to Jiandu together with Marquis Shuo tomorrow!" The guard said to Jiang Wei.

After listening to this, Jiang Wei quickly walked into the yard and ran to Yang Zijin's residence!

Walking into the room, Jiang Wei saw Lan was packing luggage!

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wei walked up to Yang Zijin and asked, "Your Highness, do you intend to go?"

"This imperial edict is there. Can I refuse?" Yang Zijin pointed to the imperial edict on the table and said.

Jiang Wei quickly said, "But Marquis Shuo said that it's very dangerous...."

"But it may not be safe to stay here, either. I didn't follow the order to get married today. If I refuse this order again, what do you think His Majesty will do?" Yang Zijin looked at Jiang Wei and interrupted her.

Jiang Wei said again, "Your Highness, but..."

"I have already decided!" Jiang Wei wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yang Zijin.

Jiang Wei saw that Yang Zijin was determined, so she stopped persuading her. She said, "Okay. I will go to pack up!"

"I will go together with Shuo Ling. I will not be in any danger. Xian and the others got injured. You can go to Blossoming Peach to help them. Besides, ask Zixia to take care of Yue! "Yang Zijin said.

Jiang Wei was reluctant to say "yes". Her duty was to protect Yang Zijin. If Marquis Shuo knew that she didn't go together with Yang Zijin, she would be... Thinking of this, Jiang Wei quickly said, "Your Highness... "

"That's it!" Yang Zijin then stood up and walked to the bed.

Seeing Yang Zijin's determined expression, Jiang Wei could only say, "Okay! Your Highness!"

Yang Zijin was sleepy today and suffered headaches. Of course, she didn't know that she was influenced by the hallucinogenic agent last night! So she got onto the bed and fell asleep!

Jiang Wei shook her head helplessly. But she thought that Yang Zijin should be safe as Marquis Shuo would protect her!
