The Marine Governor found more than thirty horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts to fill up a shipload of supplies, and then transported them to Yinshan Mountain in a grand manner.

Fortunately, Jun Mo was powerful enough, otherwise she wouldn't dare to take all these things! Not only did Jun Mo help her embezzle so many things that were supposed to be handed over, but he even asked them to help transport them back?

Yu Jiuer couldn't help but sigh: "Power is such a useful thing!"

She decided that she would have to cling to Prince Jing’s thigh from now on!

Not only is he handsome, but he is also generous!

So many supplies were given to her without blinking an eye. If it were her, she really wouldn't be so generous.

"Your Highness, your journey must have been arduous. I have prepared some wine. May Your Highness please have a meal and take a rest?" The Marine Governor bowed with a fawning look on his face.

Jun Mo looked at Yu Jiuer questioningly.

Yu Jiuer shook her head.

After getting so many things, shouldn't she leave quickly? To avoid any more troubles!

Besides, what she was thinking about now was to go home as soon as possible to write a petition and seek credit from the emperor.

She wanted to take all the credit for this time and wanted to take the opportunity to ask the emperor to abolish the Yinshan Contract and overthrow the slavery system.

Who has the time to deal with these bastards who cling to the powerful?

Jun Mo directly refused: "No need!"

He is usually very frugal with words when it comes to unimportant people!

Wei Zheng followed beside him and helped explain: "We have already eaten on the boat. It's so cold, we have to hurry home! Please help take care of the ship!"

Yu Jiuer smiled secretly, Wei Zheng is really a good dog!

Prince Jing is now in a desperate situation, yet he still looks so arrogant and condescending, which makes him easy to offend people. Fortunately, he has a group of loyal people around him.

"Yes! I will arrange for someone to take care of him!"

Yu Jiuer stepped onto the carriage prepared by the governor. She walked so fast that she ignored Wuyan who was jogging behind her.

Wuyan's appearance indeed caused quite a stir. Some people from Liangzhou even threw dirty water on her and cursed her: "You dog thief from the Western Regions!"

The man who was like a tiger in the Western Regions became as timid as a kitten when he came here and hid beside the carriage, which was so adorable!

Yu Jiuer realized her negligence and jumped off the carriage. She pulled Wuyan into her arms and announced loudly, "Stop! She is my new concubine. Her mother is from the Great Dong Dynasty, and she is also a citizen of the Great Dong Dynasty. She will not harm us. Prince Jing can testify to this!"

After saying this, Yu Jiuer looked at Jun Mo, hoping that he would indulge and support her as before.

But Jun Mo's eyes turned cold and his face darkened, as if someone had provoked him.

Yu Jiuer winked at him, signaling him to agree.

He is the prince, and if he could just nod his head slightly, it would be more effective than a hundred words from her.

But this guy just snorted coldly and got on another carriage.

Yu Jiuer was dumbfounded in public: This man is moody, how did she offend him?

Who are you showing your serious face to?

Jun Mo didn't know why he suddenly got angry. He felt inexplicably lost and annoyed in his heart, which made him uncomfortable, as if his own puppy had fallen into someone else's arms!

I feel very uncomfortable and unhappy!

Maybe I'm just too tired!

Because Prince Jing had an inexplicably gloomy face, everyone was frightened and kept silent, rushing all the way to Yinshan.

It was getting dark, and Jun Mo didn't suggest taking a break, so no one dared to call for a stop.

Arriving at the avalanche site, Wei Zheng finally played a positive role. He directly passed Jun Mo and called for a halt to the team: "Stop! Everyone, light a fire here, rest for a night, and continue on the road at dawn!"

Then he rode to Jun Mo's carriage and reported: "Your Highness, there is a situation! The snow on this section of the road where the avalanche occurred has not melted yet, and there are many horse hoof prints on it! It is estimated that no less than a hundred people have ridden horses through this road to Yinshan County recently!"

Yu Jiuer was sitting next to Jun Mo in the carriage. Upon hearing this, she quickly opened the curtain and jumped down, asking anxiously, "Why are there so many people going to Yinshan County? Are they your people?"

"No!" Jun Mo jumped off the carriage and went to check it out himself.

Yu Jiuer's uneasiness spread rapidly.

If it’s not Jun Mo’s man, then who could it be?

I haven't heard of any prisoners being exiled to Yinshan County recently! Besides, prisoners exiled to the border all come on foot, and it's impossible for them to ride horses!

The only possibility is that Prince Jing’s enemies have arrived!

His enemies took advantage of his absence from Yinshan County and most likely extended their hands to the people of Yinshan and then attacked him!

"Oh no!" Yu Jiuer yelled and ran to the nearest horse, "I want to ride back to Yinshan first! Your Majesty, please help me take care of the people and supplies!"

After saying that, he swung the whip and hit the horse's butt hard, and disappeared in front of everyone!

"Wei Zheng and Jian Er, follow me, the rest of you stay!" Jun Mo also followed on horseback.

Wuyan also rode on horseback to catch up!

A few people rode at full speed to Yinshan County and saw several dead people lying on the road.

Yu Jiuer became increasingly panicked. She quickly jumped off her horse and opened the tinderbox to check: "His face is black, as if he died of poisoning!"

Jun Mo on the side nodded: "That's right!"

"My child! Mother--" Yu Jiuer's eyes turned red with anxiety. She jumped on the horse and galloped towards the farm.

"Wang Meng!" Before Yu Jiuer dismounted from her horse, her panicked voice was already heard in the middle of the night.

Wang Meng in the dormitory held his stomach and said to the people around him: "I might be dying, because I actually heard adults calling my name!"

The person next to him responded weakly: "I think I heard the adults' voice too!"

Then everyone sat up straight as if under a spell, staring at the person standing at the door.

In the faint white light of the snow, they seemed to see Yu Jiuer, their county magistrate!

"Wang Meng, what's going on? Why didn't you respond when I called you?" Yu Jiuer was gasping for breath.

"It's your Excellency! It's really your Excellency, I'm not hallucinating!"

"You are finally back! Woo woo..."

"I'm so glad you're okay!"

Wei Zheng lit a tinderbox and asked, "What's going on? Why is everyone so sick that they can't get out of bed?"

"We have all been poisoned! We have vomiting and diarrhea, and we feel weak all over! It is more dangerous than the previous epidemic! We have been without medicine for five days, and many people have died!" Wang Meng replied crying.

"Where is Doctor Liu? Is my child okay?" Yu Jiuer found that her voice was trembling.

Wang Meng sniffed and said, "Doctor Liu fell into the icy lake and died before the people were poisoned! General Cheng suspected that someone pushed him in! Child...you should go to the auspicious tree house and take a look yourself!"

Yu Jiuer's body swayed and she almost fainted.

Wuyan, who was behind her, supported her and said, "Husband, you can't fall down now!"

Yu Jiuer took a deep breath, turned around and ran towards the tree house.

At this moment, she wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly to her child immediately.

"Ahh... Woo... Woo..." Yu Jiuer didn't stop to breathe until the child's intermittent crying reached her ears.

My heart has finally settled down and it's okay if I can still cry.

"Mu Xier! Mother! Aunt!" Yu Jiuer pushed open the door.

I saw that the female soldiers at home were all unkempt, listless, and each of them looked sick.

The eldest lady and Mu Xier were trying hard to sit on the chairs, holding the child and coaxing him.

"Jiu..." The first lady saw Prince Jing following Yu Jiuer in and immediately changed her words: "Wushuang! Is it really you? Am I hallucinating? Are you really okay?"

"You're finally back! Wow!" Aunt Qu threw herself weakly into Yu Jiuer's arms, unable to hold on any longer, and fainted.

"Aunt!" Yu Jiuer hurriedly reached out to touch her artery.

I felt the beating and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wuyan, who was behind him, came into the room and picked up the kettle in the living room to pour water for everyone.

Everyone was startled when they suddenly saw a girl from the Western Regions come in.

Yu Jiuer took the child from the eldest lady's arms and explained, "This is my concubine. I'll explain to everyone later that she is not from the Western Regions!"

Perhaps because of their blood connection, the child stopped crying immediately when he touched Yu Jiuer.

Jun Mo was closest to the eldest lady, and somehow he reached out and took the baby in her arms.

The child was also very sensible and stopped crying once he was in Jun Mo's arms.

Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo were both stunned and looked at each other.

Yu Jiuer was stunned because she was worried that the child's features were somewhat similar to Jun Mo's, which would arouse his suspicion.

Jun Mo was stunned because it was the first time in his life that he held such a soft little baby and he didn’t know how to hold it!

I had no intention of appreciating this pretty little kid.
