Wuding.

From the moment they took control of Jiaocheng, Qiao Zhongguo and Ren Chong were stationed in the rear of the Yong army to settle and reunite the surrendered Northern Army.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue led their troops to the north.

Mo Qiandai is dead, the Northern Kingdom has lost 120,000 troops, and the cities along the way have almost no ability to fight back.

But during this period, something unexpected happened.

Although the Wuding army was no longer troubled by the epidemic, as the army continued to capture northern cities, typhoid fever broke out among the people in the north.

When this happened, the Wuding army hurriedly explained that they had never intended to spread the disease. Besides, they were all well, and they didn't know how the disease spread to the north.

After Jiaojiao heard about this, she had an idea in her mind.

To explain it using her knowledge from her previous life, the typhoid virus is still there, but the Wuding army has antibodies in their bodies, but the people in the north do not.

Fortunately, the prescription is now ready, and Imperial Physician Zou immediately led other doctors to treat the people of the northern country.

Among the Wuding army, there were soldiers who had been deeply tortured by the epidemic, and they couldn't help but secretly curl their lips when they saw this.

This Mo Qiandai is truly heartless. Although the disaster did not affect ordinary people, now it has backfired on the people of the Northern Country. Isn't this the sin committed by Mo Qiandai?

Moreover, these people in the northern country are already lucky. After all, the prescriptions in the hands of Doctor Zou and others were obtained with the lives, blood and tears of the Wuding soldiers and people!

Next, the Yong army fought and cured the people along the way. The people in the northern country originally hated and feared the Yong army, but as a result, the epidemic spread and they had to rely on the Yong army's prescriptions to cure it.

Ordinary people just want to live a stable life. Now the Yong army has not killed innocent people indiscriminately and has helped treat the epidemic. In the face of life and death, the rest have just stood aside.

Especially at this time, news came from the capital of the Northern Kingdom that Yu Liu's golden body appeared at the South City Gate, confirming King Jin Yu's meanness and cruelty.

Such a monarch makes the people of the northern country sick!

The people were completely disheartened and the general trend was unstoppable. This Northern Expedition was smoother than expected, and Jiaojiao followed the army towards the northern capital.

————

The northern capital.

When the news of the army's defeat and surrender and Mo Qiandai's death reached the royal capital, the people of the royal capital were initially unwilling to believe it.

It was not until the wealthy families in the royal capital gradually closed their doors, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, and the royal court was slow to come forward to clarify the "rumors", that the people gradually became aware of the situation.

Are they afraid?

They are afraid in their hearts.

But they had actually foreseen this day.

Seventeen years ago, the royal capital had experienced such despair. Now we know that the king has reached such a state that the country will be destroyed. Isn’t it inevitable?

After all, there is no other Princess Yu Liu in the world who can turn the tide...

King Kim Sun had been fighting fiercely with King Kim Yoo a few days ago. He tried several times to gather court officials, restore the old system of his ancestors, and establish a new emperor.

However, King Kim Yu has been the king for more than ten years, and his position cannot be easily shaken. In these days, anyone who openly sided with King Kim Sun was killed or exterminated by King Kim Yu under excuses.

Seeing this, the court officials dared not take sides anymore. King Jinsun was furious and directed his criticism towards the issue of offspring.

That day at the South City Gate, the news about the "good fortune" still made King Jin Sun suspicious.

He didn't believe that there was any magic medicine in the world that could make people fertile, so he carefully investigated the details of Li Ji's several bedtimes before and after she became pregnant and various clues.

Finally, he actually discovered that during that period, two of the imperial guards had inexplicably disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth!

King Jin Sun was so perceptive that he immediately suspected that his good nephew might have cuckolded himself in order to secure his throne!

Once he had the guess, King Jinshun didn't care that there was no evidence at all and immediately ordered people to spread the matter.

Three people can make a tiger, and words can hurt people, especially when it comes to the royal heir. Li Ji suddenly became the target of public criticism.

The issue of the royal heir was causing a lot of controversy, and Li Ji was extremely anxious.

She knew in her heart that Prince Jin Yu would never admit that he was cuckolded.

But if King Kim Yu brings out Cha So Hwa again in order to completely slap King Kim Sun in the face and prove that he can indeed give birth, then she will be completely abandoned.

In this case, she and the baby in her belly might die!

After this incident happened, Li Ji couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that she had listened to the advice in the letter that night and sent a spy to the Che Mansion.

On the night of the South City Gate incident, her spies got news from Che's mansion that Che Zhaohua was very emotional and caused a big commotion in the mansion.

If Cha So-hwa is bent on getting close to Prince Kim Yu and is ambitious for the position of queen, then there is nothing to cry about. No matter what happens, the most important thing is to protect the baby in her belly.

That night she even sent people to abduct the doctor of Che Mansion, and secretly forced him to tell her that Che Zhaohua had actually made a scene and asked the doctor for abortion pills that day!

Now Li Ji had a clear idea in her mind. Che Zhaohua seemed to be a decent person. She was probably deceived by King Jin Yu's appearance and pushed into the fire pit by her own grandfather!

As for Grand Tutor Che, Li Ji had already inquired about his performance at the South City Gate.

That day, Grand Tutor Che did not take the silver bead at the critical moment, and later when Shen Yuanbai attacked King Jin Yu, Grand Tutor Che did not speak to defend King Jin Yu.

Li Ji guessed that Master Che must have seen the true face of Prince Jin Yu, and his loyalty to the emperor was shattered.

Combining all the information and because of the confidence given by the unknown letter, Li Ji gritted her teeth and decided to take the gamble!

When the rumors were spreading, Li Ji chose to remain silent. She stayed in her own palace and did nothing except "shed tears of grievance."

Now, King Kim Sun is extremely eager for an heir. Once the news that Che Zhaohua is pregnant with the prince's child spreads, King Kim Yu will definitely bring Che Zhaohua into the palace immediately and put her under house arrest.

She bet that Grand Tutor Che was completely disappointed with Prince Jin Yu and was full of guilt and pity for his granddaughter. He would definitely come forward to testify that it was she who took the magic medicine "Good Pregnancy" and the baby in her belly was a dragon seed!

After all, Master Che has a reputation for loyalty and righteousness in the North Country, and he was the one who brought "Good Fortune" back to the North Country, so he should be able to silence the people.

Li Ji also had another consideration, which was that only if she was so "innocent and weak" would King Jin Yu not suspect that she already knew that the child's biological father was someone else and would not be overly defensive against her.

Things turned out just as Li Ji had expected. When King Jinshun was becoming aggressive, Grand Tutor Che really stood up to support her!

Prince Jin Yu naturally rushed to step down after getting the chance. After all, the child was only six months old, and Che Zhaohua could hide for a while longer, and Prince Jin Yu was happy to see it happen.

Li Ji got through this hurdle without any trouble and became more curious about the person who handed her the letter.

If it weren't for that person's advice, she would have had to jump up and down to save her life, and might even have aroused Prince Jin Yu's suspicion.

But before Li Ji could breathe a sigh of relief, news came that the Northern Army was defeated and Mo Qiandai was dead.

Upon hearing the news, Li Ji stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Destroying a country...This is a disaster that will destroy a country!

She glanced around and met Aduo's anxious face, then lowered her head to look at her bulging belly, and suddenly gritted her teeth.

No, she can't stay in this royal court any longer, she has to leave as soon as possible!

Just at this moment, Aqiao hurried into the hall again and took out a letter from her arms.

"My lady, I listened to you and lingered along the garden path where I received the letter that day. Sure enough, that person took the opportunity to deliver the letter again!"

Li Ji looked at the envelope held high by Aqiao, and finally felt certain that "that person" really wanted something very big.

If she guessed correctly, the other party's target was probably the same as hers, which was - Prince Jin Yu!
