The medicinal herbs used in the prescription could combine with extracted epidemic disease pathogens to create a new disease that could accelerate someone’s life and kill them extremely quickly.

However, who would extract the pathogens from an infected body?

As far as she knew, anyone who contracted the epidemic disease in this world would be cremated after death. Even emperors would suffer the same fate.

How could they dare to do this!

“If I didn’t find out about this, do you think those people behind this are using the pathogens to plot a big scheme?”

“Master, what are you talking about?” Wei Na did not understand her words. What big scheme?

An Jiuyue shook her head and felt that things were not that simple.

Seems like I’ll be very busy in the next few days. I have to take responsibility for this trouble I created and resolve it. As for those who dared to scheme against me… I won’t let any of them off!

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Continue keeping an eye on the points,” An Jiuyue instructed Wei Na before turning to look at Qian Jiyun.

“Yes, Master,” Wei Na replied, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

“Qian Jiyun, let’s hurry on our way after eating. I wonder how’s the situation like in the military camp?”

She wanted to go to the military camp to find out what was happening there.

“Okay.” Qian Jiyun nodded and instructed Yan Nuo to pack their things and prepare to leave.

“Mmph, mmph!” Xue Ling struggled, staring at Qian Jiyun aggrievedly as Yan Nuo dragged her away.

She wanted to ride the same horse as Qian Jiyun. That would prove she was the most important to him when they returned to the military camp, even if she was tied up.

People who wanted to bully her would be deterred on account of Qian Jiyun.

Unfortunately, Qian Jiyun did not give her the opportunity.

“What are you shouting for? Go up.”

Yan Nuo was very direct. He threw her onto the horse like a camel sack, her body sprawled across the horse.

If given a choice, he would refuse to share a horse with this woman. However, he had no choice because they only had two horses. He could not drag this woman on the ground, right? Hence, he got on the horse too.

“Jiuyue, get on the horse.”

Qian Jiyun supported An Jiuyue’s slender waist with both hands and mounted her on the horse before climbing up too.

Xue Ling watched the differential treatment with bloodshot eyes, her chest ready to explode from anger. Of course, the pressure in her chest could also be due to how she was crushed on the horse, but she was genuinely furious.

But what could she do? No matter how angry she was, she could not even complain.

The group mounted their horses and headed towards the military camp quickly.

…

The soldiers in charge of guarding Xue Ling were anxious.

A large group like them could not leave the camp to search for her. Some of them might have contracted the disease. They should not be going out and spreading the disease.

“That Xue Ling is really detestable!” One of them said hatefully.

He clenched his fist and punched a pillar. “If not for the general, I would have—”

“Stop it,” the other soldier interrupted him with a shake of his head.

“Why stop? Two of our brothers died! Two!” the soldier who spoke first yelled at his companion with bloodshot eyes.
