Without Infanta Shiqing pretending to be a fool, Prince Yanbei's Mansion became even quieter. Other than going to the medicinal field every day to look over the plants for Little Doctor Zhuge, Ji Yunkai practically never came out of her courtyard. She only took care of her plants all day.

Especially when Ji Yunkai and Xiao Jiu'an would meet, there would be plants wilting and dying.

However, whenever she wanted to say something, the Steward's words would play in her head: "When did the Princess ever trust you?"

The Princess had treated her very well, so well that she even felt that she trusted her. However, when Baoqin saw the Princess and Little Doctor Zhuge getting along with each other, she knew that she did not.

In the entire Prince Yanbei's Mansion, the only person that the Princess Consort trusted was probably Little Doctor Zhuge, right?

Baoqin did not understand why.

In terms of ability, capability, and intelligence, how could she not be stronger than Little Doctor Zhuge? Why would the Princess Consort put her trust in Little Doctor Zhuge, who relied on her, rather than the one who could help her clean up everything?

Baoqin could not understand, and she was almost going insane from the mental torture she was putting herself through.

Ji Yunkai vaguely sensed this, but she did not say anything.

Baoqin's way of thinking was too naive, too self-centered, and Baoqin also took herself too seriously.

Even a fool would know that Baoqin was someone that Xiao Jiu'an had placed by her side and that Baoqin's true master was Xiao Jiu'an and not her. She was not stupid, how could she not understand?

Baoqin wanted to get her trust, but she was never honest with her. She hid her abilities, hid her secrets, and even wanted Ji Yunkai to trust her anyway.

Moreover, Baoqin wanting to obtain her trust was already a goal, so how could she possibly trust someone who had a motive and was not sincere in gaining her trust?

Trust was something that cannot be given but had to be earned. Little Doctor Zhuge had never planned to obtain her trust, and so, the only person she was willing to trust in Prince Yanbei's Mansion was Little Doctor Zhuge.

However, she would not tell all of this to Baoqin. She was happy to see Baoqin at a loss.

Without the obsessive Infanta Shiqing, and with Xiao Jiu'an being busy, Ji Yunkai's life was very comfortable, but very soon, her peaceful life was broken.

The Yanbei Army stationed outside the city had been poisoned!

Thirty-thousand soldiers and warhorses were all poisoned. Yes, even the warhorses were not able to escape. They were all poisoned, and through the diagnosis given by Little Doctor Zhuge, it was a poison from the Southern Wilderness.

Little Doctor Zhuge had been researching on the Southern Wilderness' poison all this time, but the Southern Wilderness' poison was disordered and chaotic. The people of the Southern Wilderness liked to mix their poisons with all kinds of random things. When they created their poisons, they would do as they pleased.

As a result, it caused a lot of trouble for those who wanted to detoxify the poison. Even if it was a similar poison, they still would not be able to use the same antidote.

This time, the poison that the entire Yanbei Army was afflicted with was created with the various poisonous plants in the Southern Wilderness. Even after spending three days of effort, Little Doctor Zhuge was only able to find a way to suppress it, just like how he had helped Xiao Jiu'an suppress his poison back then.

But at that time, Xiao Jiu'an was only one person and Prince Yanbei's Mansion could use all kinds of medicine to keep him alive. Currently, the Yanbei Army had over thirty-thousand soldiers and warhorses who were poisoned, and no matter how much medicine Prince Yanbei's Mansion had, they could not afford to immediately use it.

As expected, the one who poisoned the Yanbei Army was Nan Zeyu. Although Xiao Jiu'an had already warned the dark guards to keep an eye on Nan Zeyu, they still let him find an opening.

Not only was Nan Zeyu's poison successful, but he had also successfully escaped.

"Nan Zeyu, This King has underestimated you!" The entire Yanbei Army was poisoned, which brought Xiao Jiu'an a huge amount of trouble.

Without soldiers, who would need to fear him?

Without soldiers, who would do the job?

"This King wants to know, where did he get so many medicines that he can poison thirty-thousand men all at the same time?" It was not easy to provide the antidote to thirty-thousand men, but it was also not easy to poison thirty-thousand men either.

Even if Nan Zeyu had harvested all the poisonous plants in the Southern Wilderness, he could not gather enough for thirty-thousand men. Furthermore, Nan Zeyu had come to Revelation alone, and he could not bring so many poisonous plants with him.

"This incident has Beichen's shadow all over it. Beichen's First Prince, Beichen Tianque, had secretly come to Revelation. At the moment, I do not know where he is, so I can only find out if he and Nan Zeyu have come in contact." Xiao Shoarong, as a filial son, was in the Xiao Family during this time. With this incident, he successfully avoided the calamity of getting married.

"Beichen Tianque? Is he here for This King?" As he said "Beichen," a cold killing intent flashed past his eyes.

"In all of Revelation, there is a high chance that you are the only one who can make Beichen's First Prince venture in." The Prince killed Beichen Tianque's brother, and so, Beichen Tianque hated the Prince to the bones.

During this time, this First Prince of Beichen had been persuading Beichen to fight against Revelation and even said that he would kill His Highness in the battlefield with three thousand cuts.

"Since Beichen Tianque has left Beichen, let's have Beichen's spies act. This King wants Beichen to go into chaos!" His power and influence in Beichen far exceeded Beichen Tianque's imagination. All these years that he did not make a move, Beichen Tianque had thought that he was afraid.

"The Emperor of Beichen treats his sons like wolves. He is very willing to see his sons fight each other to the death." When Xiao Jiu'an said this, he was very confident. It could be seen how much he understood Beichen's Emperor.

"I'll take care of Beichen's matters." Xiao Shaorong knew about Xiao Jiu'an's understanding of Beichen and had no objections to his orders.

However, Beichen was not that pressing at the moment. The most pressing matter at hand was, "What about the poison?"

Thirty-thousand people! If they could not find the antidote, they would all die...
