Thinking of this, Qiao Shu clenched her fists and thought, "Yang Zijin, it is lucky for you to die like this."

She put the prepared pastries in a box. This time the pastries were perfect.

Coincidentally, Lan walked in from outside and saw Qiao Shu.

She smiled and said, "Mrs. Qiao, are you making pastries again?"

"Well, it's done." Qiao Shu said.

Lan walked forward and looked at the pastries in the box and then praised, "You are beautiful, so as your pastries."

"Thank you. Lan, I will return to Jing City tomorrow. Before I return, I want you to help me with one thing." Qiao Shu said.

Lan said, "You are going back tomorrow. If you have anything to do, don't hesitate to tell me. As long as I can, I will definitely help you."

"Her Highness and I were good friends before. But there are some misunderstandings between us." Qiao Shu said, with a little hesitation.

It seemed as if she had been troubled for a long time.

Lan asked in disbelief, "Were you good friends before?"

Qiao Shu nodded.

"Since there were misunderstandings, you should go and explain to Her Highness. I think she is not an unreasonable person." Lan said.

Qiao Shu looked embarrassed, "But I am embarrassed to go, so I made her favorite pastries. She will think of the time we were together before as she saw them. But please don't tell her that the pastries are made by me when you give them to her. You can give them to her after I leave."

"Why?" Lan looked at Qiao Shu in confusion.

Qiao Shu put the pastries into her hands and said, "I'm afraid I will be embarrassed then, please."

"Oh, I see. Mrs. Qiao, don't worry, I must give them to Her Highness." Looking at Qiao Shu, Lan smiled and said.

Seeing Lan agree, Qiao Shu felt relieved, and then said, "Thank you, then."

"You're welcome. It's okay." Lan said with a smile.

Then she walked out of the kitchen with the box of pastries.

Watching Lan walk out of the kitchen, Qiao Shu sneered.

Yang Zijin, don't blame me. Shuo Ling belonged to me. If it weren't you, the person standing beside him should be me.

When it was almost time for dinner, Shen Yang went to find Yang Zijin, and told her that they would return to Jing city tomorrow.

Yang Zijin was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, looking at the burning clouds in the sky in a daze.

Shen Yang walked over, "Your Highness."

"Dean, please have a seat." Yang Zijin said with a smile.

She asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, the plague has been completely over. I wanted to wait for His Lordship to return Jing City together. But he didn't come back for a few days. These people have left for too long. They already got homesick. So I decided to return tomorrow morning!" He said.

Yang Zijin nodded after hearing this, and then said, "When Mo Li comes back, I will ask him to prepare some things you need on the way."

"Thank you, Your Highness. After His Lordship comes back, please inform him of this." Shen Yang said.

Yang Zijin smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will talk about it with him."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Yang stood up and bowed to her.

Seeing this, Yang Zijin also stood up, "You are welcome, Dean. Thanks for your contribution. The plague was controlled. Without you, the plague would not have been controlled so quickly. "

"Thank you. As doctors, it's our duty." Shen Yang said quickly.

Yang Zijin said, "Don't be so modest."

"Your Highness, Dean, it's time for dinner." Lan ran over and said.

Yang Zijin nodded and then said to Shen Yang, "Dean, let's go over."

"Your Highness, please." Shen Yang said and made a gesture.

Shuo Ling and Hou Shi reached Xiling.

They went to an inn and settled down.

Then Shuo Ling contacted his secret guard Ye and Mo, who had been sent to Xiling long ago.

In the Shuo Ling’s room.

Ye and Mo dressed up in disguise and walked in.

"Your Lordship." The two saluted Shuo Ling.

Shuo Ling let them stand up.

"Your Lordship, why did you come here so soon?" Ye asked.

Shuo Ling said, "The poisonous insects grew by Zhan You should not be underestimated. Now that the king of witchcraft is willing to deal with this, the sooner the matter can be resolved, the better."

"Your Lordship, we have been monitoring him these days and found that apart from sleeping during the day and entering a secret passage at night, there is nothing unusual. Why would you..." Mo asked.

After hearing this, Feng said loudly, "Shut up. His Lordship has his own idea."

"Yes, I shouldn't ask so much. Your Lordship, please forgive me!" Hearing Feng's words, Mo naturally knew that he was wrong, so he knelt and said.

Shuo Ling watched him and asked, "It's okay, get up. Didn't he go to other places in these days?"

Shuo Ling was never afraid of anything before, but the last time he saw in the village of god's temple that the seduce of the nightmare was too powerful. He was afraid that it would be used on the battlefield, which would inevitably cause uncountable deaths!

"Yes, Your Lordship. The time he enters the secret passage is fixed every day." Mo stood up and said.

Shuo Ling nodded, "Good, take me there tonight."

"Yes, Your Lordship." Mo and Feng quickly responded.

Shuo Ling lay on the bed and rubbed his sideburns. He rushed to Xiling with the king of witchcraft for two days and nights without taking a rest. He was too tired. He said to them, "You can go now. Let's meet on the west side of the palace gate."

"Okay." Mo and Ye jumped out of the window.

The sky was getting dark, and when Shuo Ling heard a sound in the room, he sat up vigilantly.

Seeing that it was Hou Shi, Shuo Ling felt relieved. He saw that the sky turned dark outside. It seemed that the journey really made him too tired.

He sat up from the bed.

"Your Lordship, the sky is getting dark. We should set off." Hou Shi looked at Shuo Ling sitting on the bed and said.

Shuo Ling stood up and walked to Hou Shi, "Okay, I have arranged everything. There will be someone to show us the way to Zhan You's palace in a while."

"Well, let's go now." Hou Shi said.

Shuo Ling nodded. They left the inn and went to the agreed place.

The inn was not very far from Jing City. They did not spend much time before they came to the agreed place.

"Your Lordship." Seeing Shuo Ling and an old man who followed him and looking at his appearance, they knew that he must be the king of witchcraft.

Shuo Ling nodded and said, "Tell him the time that Zhan You go to the secret room every day, and then let him go to attract Zhan You. Then we will go in through the secret path to find the poisonous insect."

After hearing this, Feng said to the king of witchcraft, "After many days of observation, we find that Zhan You goes to the secret room at 10 pm every day, and he comes out of the secret room until dawn, without exception."

"Okay, I will go to stop him on the way to the secret room. Zhan You is very cunning. You don't have much time, hurry up." Hou Shi said to them.

Shuo Ling frowned slightly and asked, "What do the seduce insects of the nightmare look like? How can I find them?"

"I almost forgot that. The seduce insect of the nightmare is much bigger than the others. Its body is dark purple, and the head is red, which makes it easy to identify." Hou Shi explained.

After Hou Shi finished his words, Shuo Ling said, "Well, now it's almost 10 pm. Let's go."

Others nodded and sneaked into the Xiling Palace at night.

According to the plan, Hou Shi lurked in Zhan You's only way to the secret room.

Shuo Ling and Feng hid near the secret room.

Mo was responsible for sending signals silently.

After everything had been done, they hid their breath.

As it approached 10 pm, Hou Shi saw a figure coming from a distance. When the figure came closer, he was sure that this person was Zhan You, but he looked much thinner than before.

Hou Shi appeared from the dark, blocking Zhan You's way.

Hou Shi suddenly stood in front of Zhan You, which made him shocked. He was about to call someone when he heard, "Brother, I have been looking for you for so long. I didn't expect that you are working for Emperor Xiling!"

"It's you? Why are you here?" Zhan You asked with confusion.

Hou Shi said, "Why can't I come? As long as you don't give back the forbidden book for a day, I will find you even if you hide at the end of the world."

"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed, but last time in the village of god's temple, I have already said that if you want to get the book, I can only say that it is impossible!" Zhan You sneered.

Hou Shi frowned, "You..."

"I don't want to alarm the guards in the palace. If you don't leave, I will call someone." Unexpectedly, Zhan You snorted.

Hiding in the dark, Mo saw that Zhan You had been stopped by Hou Shi, so he quietly left and walked towards the secret room!
