Before the emperor arrived, the ninth prince received an urgent letter from the crown prince, in which he had notified the surrounding counties to evacuate the people as soon as possible.

The prince's decrees were also urgently transmitted to various places.

The prince is making preparations for both scenarios. If he cannot stop the puppet army and the plague in Nanchi’s homeland…

At least we must not allow them to invade Dafeng from Xiangshan Kingdom.

Therefore, the scope of prevention and control extends from the border between Dafeng and Nanchi to the border between Dafeng and Xiangshan Kingdom.

After seeing the prince, how to get information from Jun Baozhu...

The Ninth Prince asked the Emperor:

"Father, I wonder where the fourth brother is and what his current situation is?"

The emperor just frowned slightly and immediately understood the ninth prince's intention.

Jun Baozhu listened carefully as the system revealed the latest developments.

[Fourth Prince, when you lead the Eastern Recruiting Army to the border, you will collect all the kerosene, firewood, and charcoal from the warehouses of Prince Cheng's residence, the warehouses of the Pingxi Army's garrison, and the mines...]

【Everything that can burn was taken away?】

[You also brought a lot of face towels to cover your mouth and nose? ]

[Brother Fourth Prince, you are so considerate! ]

[Brother Crown Prince, has Brother Four Prince received the reply letter asking Xiangshan Kingdom to send troops? 】

[Worried about the worsening of the situation, the remaining soldiers of Xiangshan Country may be infected with the disease. Although, in order to find donors and provide energy for the puppet army, the Great Witch Doctor will most likely head towards Xiangshan Country first...]

[But the Fourth Prince is also on guard against the possibility that the Great Witch Doctor will make a feint to the east and attack in the west to launch a surprise attack on our Great Phoenix Dynasty? ]

[So now, the atmosphere in the garrison is tense, and the fourth prince asked Dongzhao soldiers to dig trenches and pour kerosene? ]

[Is this to prevent the puppet army from invading and block it with a line of fire? ]

[The trenches didn’t need to be dug too deep, so progress was fast? ]

[It has been dug through, all along the border between Dafeng and Nanchi? ]

[The Southern Army received a secret order from the Crown Prince and has already connected with the Eastern Army reinforcements that were digging trenches? ]

[In the mining area controlled by Prince Cheng, countless kerosene has been dug out. Has the Fourth Prince already ordered people to distribute sufficient kerosene and explosives to the Southern Fu Army? ]

[The Southern Army is doing so? ]

[In this way, at least we can ensure that the puppet army will not invade Dafeng's territory and harm the people! ]

【but......】

Jun Baozhu asked the system:

What should we do about the plague?

【Doesn’t the plague spread through the wind and air?】

[The trench can stop the puppets, but it can't stop the plague...]

Hearing the system reminder, Jun Baozhu looked puzzled.

【Do the opposite? 】

[All our plans may be within the scope of the Great Witch Doctor's plan...]

[So, we need to go backwards, each step, how does she think we will go? ]

【And what will she do? 】

The emperor and the ninth prince looked at each other. It was not easy for the ninth prince to get paper and pen. The emperor brought Jun Baozhu over, and the ninth prince took paper and pen and spread them out in front of him.

Because it is a response to Jun Baozhu's inner voice, the subsequent actions and content will be blocked from the system and Jun Baozhu.

The childish voice gradually spread inside the tent.

[The great witch doctor predicted correctly that my father would come this time? 】

[That's right, Father will definitely go to the front line and won't escape? ]

[What will she do immediately? Knowing that her father will come, what will she do? ]

[My father is coming, so the court must have made arrangements for his successor. She should know that even if my father dies calmly, it will not shake the court? ]

[So, what can she do to her father to turn the situation around? ]

[Or, through the emperor, don't ruin her plan? ]

[She had the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Eastern Recruiting Army, the Southern Appeasement Army, and even the fence-sitter Xiangshan Country, who would beg for mercy from Da Feng. She might have expected that...]

[Da Feng is not that weak, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to this extent. All of these could hinder her plan...]

So, what could she do so that her plans would not be thwarted?

The system asks:

[If someone pretends to be Concubine Li, and you eventually find out that the person in front of you is fake...]

Jun Baozhu had never thought about it, but just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.

System: [What do you care about most? ]

Jun Baozhu blurted out:

[If someone pretends to be my mother, I will definitely ask, where is my mother? ]

The emperor's body was shaking unnoticeably.

Even though he concealed it very well, even though he was worried about scaring his daughter, his body couldn't stop shaking because of this sentence.

After listening to the system analysis, Jun Baozhu looked up at his father with deep sadness in his eyes.

[Father must be very sad, right? ]

[Since I found out, I was deceived by the witch doctor...]

[But we never thought that Father was more worried about the whereabouts of the Imperial Grandmother, because as an emperor, once he exposed his weaknesses, he would fall into the trap of the witch doctor? ]

[Even though the Imperial Grandmother had passed away, Father could only pretend to ignore it and not mention it, in order to avoid being threatened by the Great Witch Doctor?]

[And now, she is very likely to use the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager as a threat? ]

【What? Not only that?】

[Given the viciousness of the witch doctor, she is very likely to use this as bait to control my father and force the fourth prince, the East Recruiting Army, and the Xiangshan Kingdom's reinforcements to retreat? ]

[So, where is my royal grandmother? ]

Jun Baozhu asked with an extremely serious attitude.

The tent fell silent. The emperor held his breath, waiting for the answer he was unwilling to face.
