Deputy General Sun gasped.
Is that person that ruthless? Will he dare kill Prince Lei Ting?
If Prince Lei Ting really dies at the border, the General will probably be implicated. Is he trying to use this method to…
Deputy General Sun realized the seriousness of this matter. Running out, he said, “I’ll arrange for guards immediately.”
After he left, Qian Jiyun looked at An Jiuyue and said dotingly, “Jiuyue, you scared him.”
An Jiuyue shrugged and did not say anything.
That person was not brave enough to risk Prince Lei Ting’s life no matter what. If Prince Lei Ting died, Qian Jiyun could be implicated, but that person would also be exposed.
He would not have the guts, right?
However, he could still make use of Prince Lei Ting for something. After all, as long as Prince Lei Ting lived, the Emperor would only blame Qian Jiyun.
“Did you send a shadow guard?” she asked.
Of course, he had sent someone to Prince Lei Ting earlier.
“Mhm,” Qian Jiyun replied softly. “He’s so pampered that I was afraid he’d end up in hell after a small injury.”
An Jiuyue remained silent. Was Prince Lei Ting as weak as Qian Jiyun described?
“You’re overthinking it. Cockroaches have always been very tenacious.”
Prince Lei Ting laid on the bed as a maid served him a bowl of extremely bitter medicine.
He hated drinking medicine the most, but he had no choice. He had contracted the epidemic disease. If he did not drink the medicine, he would die.
He had gone near the 11th Stockaded Village in the hopes of controlling the 18 Stockaded Villages.
However, he had heard nothing from the 11th Stockaded Village for a long time. Instead, he contracted the epidemic disease despite living in a town without any cases of it!
He was sure the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages were involved in this.
Furthermore, despite having the prescription, he could not buy the medication in the small town because there was a lack of herbs for two of the herbs listed in the prescription.
What terrified him even more was that someone had cut off his escape route out of town!
He had to spare no effort and lose many of his people to escape the town and return to his place in the end.
“The 18 Stockaded Villages!”
Watch how I’ll have my revenge after I recover!
“You bunch of trash, have you thought of how to deal with the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages?”
The man standing near Prince Lei Ting with a folding fan was unbothered by his scolding.
He looked at him seriously and replied, “Your Highness, I’m afraid we can’t do anything to the 18 Stockaded Villages anymore. We should give up.”
Prince Lei Ting narrowed his eyes and stared fiercely at the man.
“What do you mean we can’t do anything now? You want me to give up on the 18 Stockaded Villages after all my efforts? Are you joking?”
He was not going to give up!
The man with the folding fan wore a serious expression and took a deep breath.
“Your Highness, I’m not joking.”
He hoped he could help Prince Lei Ting take over the 18 Stockaded Villages too. After all, he had put a lot of effort into sending his people in.
They were about to succeed, but something went wrong!
